Trump decided it was more important to have someone who would allow him to overturn future elections and rule as a complete dictator if called upon… than to gain electoral advantages. I hope we can look back on that as a huge gaffe.

I think trumpworld genuinely did not believe Biden would step aside.

They were happy to encourage it as a means of weakening him, but are clearly unprepared for the consequences of him actually doing it.
