Back in 2016, Trump told Karl Rove—with utter seriousness—that he would win California, Illinois, & New York, because he'd done so well in the Republican primaries. Trump's egomania is such he believes it. In his mind, fair elections must be fraud, which justifies extreme measures. It'll get worse.
Trump: "Minnesota is a mess. There's something in the water up there. I won the 3 three times but I got no credit for it. It's a rigged state. Really rigged badly w/ the Somalians, and the Somalians & the theft. We gotta get 'em out, most of them. 92% don't work. Many of them drive Mercedes-Benzes."

"I'm not tearing it down, I'm just stripping it down to the studs" is the kind of "I found a loophole, catch me if you can!" answer you can always expect from Donald J. Trump.
Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?
TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.
