Former Trump campaign manager and Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon was caught on audio explaining to some associates on Oct. 31, 2020, that former President Donald Trump planned to declare victory even if he lost the November 2020 election, reports Mother Jones:
What Trump’s gonna do, is just declare victory. Right? He’s gonna declare victory. But that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. As it sits here today, at 10 or 11 o’clock Trump’s gonna walk in the Oval, tweet out, “I’m the winner. Game over. Suck on that.”
Axios reported at the time on Trump’s plan to declare a premature victory.
