He can't accept that anyone but him is responsible for his "win"
Not surprised at all.
He was involved in the conspiracy to steal the election with the help of the Russians.
Nothing to do with his ego!

Maybe discussed it with Bannon and they decided it was "Deep State" "fake news"? Where was General Flynn?
Wow.
