Trump's I-really-won-the-election mantra started out as JMB (Just More B#llsheet). But as those words swirled around in his head the lie became an "alternative truth" for him. Until, finally, JMB joined all those other idiotic fantasies he believes are actually part of our shared reality but are really just reflective of a deeply disordered mind. Three factors, I think, came into play here: (1) JMB was an easy lie and Trump easily lies; (2) Trump ain't really all that intelligent and he doesn't seem to know much about much, other than lying and stealing, so he is highly susceptible to believing his own JMB, especially when hired lickspittles feed and flatter his fragile ego ("Daddy!?!"): and (3) Trump is experiencing a disorderly physical and mental decline in which a factor known as "The Stupid" will play an ever larger role.

This should be obvious to most folks, although clearly not the members of the Cowards' Caucus, formerly known as the Republican Party.
