The only reasonable response to Trump saying this is to tell him that he’s insane and run to the media. Instead, no one involved ran to the media, and we get another book we’re supposed to be dumb enough to buy, rewarding a reporter for holding back critical information.

Donald Trump queried aides — including the valet who brought his Diet Cokes to the Oval Office — on whether he should refuse to leave office after losing the 2020 presidential election, according to a book from a New York Times reporter.

CNN reported Monday on the details from reporter Maggie Haberman’s book, “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America,” which is due for publication on October 4.

Trump, Haberman writes, told aides that he would refuse to leave office after losing the 2020 election. He told one, “I’m not going to leave,” and declared to another that “we’re never leaving,” adding, “how can you leave when you won an election?”

Trump even asked the valet tasked with delivering his Diet Cokes directly to his desk in the Oval Office about what steps and strategies to take in contesting the 2020 election, according to the book.
