'Separated from reality': Trump said to be struggling to come to grips that he may lose
During an appearance on MSNBC's "Way Too Early," the New York Times' Peter Baker suggested Donald Trump is still having a great deal of difficulty coming to terms with the notion that he could lose in November to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Baker claims that the former president's recent actions demonstrate he is losing his grip.
Brought on by host Jonathan Lemire to discuss a warning from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that Trump will never accept losing to Harris and will create more chaos, Baker said that goes hand-in-hand with the some of Trump's latest conspiracy stories.

With Lemire prompting him with, "It seems like he's already preparing for another big lie," Baker replied, "Yeah, he seems increasingly detached from reality and yet there may be strategy behind it. The idea he is trying to once again convince his voters that something untoward happened in order to explain a defeat and that's something, of course, he cannot accept."
"He cannot accept the idea that anybody could possibly beat him, especially, I think, Kamala Harris, and so he has to find a way to explain it," he continued. "He started this in 2020, let's remember, not after the election when his results came back in but actually in May of 2020 he began telling people any results other than his victory would be a sign of a rigged election — it would be a cheat, in other words."
"This is his pattern going back years and years and years." he elaborated. "He's never lost a contest that he acknowledged that he lost. He constantly comes up with conspiracy theories and made-up versions of reality, and what he's doing here clearly is laying the groundwork."
"It actually suggests that he's feeling the heat and he's feeling, you know, that he may not be able to pull this off in November," he warned.
