Trump making pre-emptive excuses for the possibility of losing.
The former president pre-emptively delegitimizes elections so he can rationalize defeats.
If he loses, he says, “I told you the democracy is rigged.” If he wins, he says,
“The fact that I overcame rampant cheating makes my victory all the more impressive."
The same applies to the courts. If he’s convicted, he says, “See? I was right all along.”
If he’s acquitted, he says, “My success was even more impressive given that I was up against a corrupt system.”
This isn't really unique to Trump as perpetual victimhood and persecution is the cornerstone of modern US conservatism. He has just packaged and branded it with his gaudy logo.

afaik democrat controlled states can just raise the sector minwage as much as they want and in some sense outlaw tips (or at least, make them not so common anymore).
Why don't they all do it?
The west coast states plus Nevada do require tipped employees to be paid minimum wage, but it doesn't seem to have changed the tipping culture.
