it seems very very very odd.

Clearly a message, and it will be interesting to see how the timing of the identification of the software 'glitch' that swung a fixed % of votes from Trump to Biden lines up with the announcement of the changed location.

I get the feeling they are basically standing in front of the skeleton in someone's closet, announcing quite clearly to someone that they are going to be in a great deal of trouble if they don't make a deal.

That could all be wishful thinking, of course. Trump really may just be a senile loser.
