Donald Trump never admits to being wrong . . . about anything. Having gone all out for Roy Moore in the senate race against Democrat Doug Jones, how was he going to handle another defeat that shows he has little political clout? Here's how. It came in a pre-dawn tweet.
"I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!"
Duh. From the wording, this quote has to be from the Republican Primary, when he was supporting Luther Strange against Roy Moore. If Trump said that when he was supporting Moore as the Republican nominee in the General Election, why would he have said "in the General Election"? And why would he have lent his presidential clout to backing someone he knew "couldn't win"?
Trump just can't say "My candidate lost." But he backed Strange in the Primary, and lost. He backed Moore in the General, and lost. And he had previously backed Ed Gillespie for governor of Virginia; Gillespie lost.
Loser. Sad. [irony intended].

PS: This is all part of the same psychodynamic that leads Trump to have (or to be) the greatest, biggest, or even the worst . . . of everything. He's even tried out the line, regarding Mueller's investigation: "It's the 'greatest' witch hunt against a sitting president in history."
