"President Trump has told confidants he'll declare victory on Tuesday night if it looks like he's "ahead," according to three sources familiar with his private comments. That's even if the Electoral College outcome still hinges on large numbers of uncounted votes in key states like Pennsylvania."
"Trump's team is preparing to falsely claim that mail-in ballots counted after Nov. 3 — a legitimate count expected to favor Democrats — are evidence of election fraud. Trump's team is preparing to claim baselessly that if that process changes the outcome in Pennsylvania from the picture on election night, then Democrats would have "stolen" the election."
"Miller, on ABC's "This Week," predicted 290+ electoral votes for Trump on election night, and he claimed Democrats are "just going to try to steal it back after the election."

In other words, Trump is going to declare himself the winner election night regardless of the realities, even if it is obvious he can not win. The goal is pretty obvious, to purposely create doubt and provide material for the right wing media to float their innuendos and conspiracies, thereby making any litigation no matter how inane look legitimate.
Even if laughable, it will allow him to fade claiming he was robbed, the election was crooked, and take with him all the loyal Trumpkins who would believe anything he says, the aim to keep himself relevant in the eyes of many, the last thing Trump could ever do is admit he lost and is history, regardless of the cost to the country
