This news is... not news. We already knew this. No surprise....

To Trump demanding a recount of Texas' results. He won there. He won BIG there, but he wants to do a full investigation of a place he already won. This is hilarious on three levels. Firstly, the only two possibilities here are that he confirms something no one even disputes, or that he somehow manages to show that he in fact LOST in that state. There is no benefit to this.
Secondly, remember in some random speech a few years back when he "jokingly" admitted that he'd only dispute results that showed him as a loser? He's actually going against that.
Thirdly, the real reason he's doing this is to soothe his fans, and himself, by replaying a "glory days" victory in his head over and over again, like a washed up boxer playing reruns of the best match in their career while sad piano music plays.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
