The former president is telling those in his inner circle that he will be back in power by August. He has the support of his QAnon followers, who have been parroting the theory that the election was stolen from the 45th president, even though he lost the electoral and the popular vote in November 2020.
Trump has no recourse in this situation. The election results were certified on January 7 (remember when the process was interrupted on January 6?), and being reinstated as president is neither legal nor constitutional — yet Trump persists. By doubling down on his claims that the election was stolen from him, it fires up his loyal voting base with grander conspiracy theories and murmurs of coup possibilities.
Trump has no one grounding him in the reality that he lost the election fair and square.
