You could watch Trump rant about the election being rigged as more and more states declare Joe Biden their victor.
CNN's Anderson Cooper likened the meltdown to "an obese turtle on his back flailing in the hot sun, realising his time is over".
Or you could just watch this re-surfaced Comedy Central clip of 'Trump' having a tantrum as he's pulled away from a school playtime activity.
They amount to about the same thing.
Although the parody first aired in 2017, it's never been more relevant.
Trump has tried to blame everything from the media, to the Democrats to the United States Postal Service for his poor polling numbers. Everything except not having done a good enough job at being president to be elected again.
He hasn't provided a single shred of evidence to support his claim that the election's outcome is illegitimate, despite setting up this conspiracy theory for months.
He is, in short, behaving like a toddler having a tantrum – just as Comedy Central predicted.
You can watch the full clip from The President Show starring Anthony Atamanuik as Trump here.
