I think he is confident that his plan is in place, and it doesn't matter if Americans vote or don't vote. Its all rigged. And getting more rigged. Until it will impossible for him to lose in 2026. No matter what the "fake" polls say.

He's chipping away at corrupting all institutions of law and order, of oversight.

Honestly, I think that the founders did not foresee this kind of beast. Of course they couldn't foresee how politically powerful social media and conspiracy theories spread on them would be used to prop him up.
