Popular Post webfact Posted November 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2020 Trump takes fighting stance as election swings toward Biden By Jeff Mason and Steve Holland U.S. President Donald Trump speaks about the 2020 U.S. presidential election results in the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House in Washington, U.S., November 5, 2020. REUTERS/Carlos Barria WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As former Vice President Joe Biden moved closer to winning the White House, President Donald Trump adopted a fighting posture on Thursday, making false claims to undermine a vote that was not going his way. While Biden, a Democrat, called for calm and patience, Republican Trump, without offering evidence, said his opponents were engaging in fraud and election theft, accusations he has been making long before Election Day. "If you count the legal votes I easily win," Trump said during remarks the White House, his first public appearance since Wednesday morning. "This is a case where they're trying to steal an election. They're trying to rig an election, and we can't let that happen." 2020-11-06T002209Z_1_LOV000MBWA2R3_RTRMADV_STREAM-2000-16X9-MP4_USA-ELECTION-TRUMP-ROUGH-CUT.MP4 Trump suggested he had won states that have been called in favor of Biden and sharply criticized polling before the election that he said was designed to suppress the vote because it favored the Democrat. Polls this year, similar to the 2016 election that he won, predicted a much weaker electoral performance by Trump than he achieved. The president, a former reality TV star who regularly plays to cameras and crowds, took no questions from reporters in his first appearance since early Wednesday morning. The president's comments came as the election results continued to swing toward his Democratic rival. A somber mood prevailed at the White House. Aides to the president said they remained cautiously optimistic that he still had a path to re-election, while conceding that he may lose. Trump worked from the Oval Office on Thursday in what was otherwise largely an empty West Wing. Many of his senior staff were huddled at the campaign's headquarters in nearby Virginia. "He's very engaged, he's monitoring, talking to all the states. It doesn't look good, but this guy wants to keep fighting," said one Trump confidante, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "He's in a fighting mood right now. He's not melancholy or dejected. But the path is getting harder and harder." The president's campaign has launched multiple legal challenges in the states where votes are still being counted. One White House official said he was confident the strategy of legal challenges would prevail, even if television networks call the race for Biden once final vote counts in states such as Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania come in. Another lamented the loss of support among suburban women that helped doom Trump's chances in Wisconsin, while lauding the president for changing the Republican Party for decades to come by attracting more Latino and African-American votes.

Popular Post Jingthing Posted November 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Some things are sacred. The vote count determines the winner. Not a wannabe dictator. But he is going to continue to be very ugly about this and if he ever concedes the moon will explode.

Popular Post darksidedog Posted November 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2020 What I find nastiest about all of this, is that if Trump has any evidence of the massive fraud he suggests is under way, why is he unable to produce any evidence to support it? His supporters are getting worked up because they believe him unquestioningly. When questioned about evidence he left the stage. Interesting article from the Guardian suggesting his TV broadcast last night broke records for the number of untruths. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/05/trump-record-lies-us-election 24 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rational person can see immediately that there are massive holes in Trumps case, and no evidence to plug them. Blinded by the previous lies they believed, some are unable to stop themselves getting sucked in. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post robblok Posted November 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2020 The Trump followers on this forum are awfully quiet I think they know that they can only win now with dirty tricks. Though people like me who supported Biden (more to the fact were anti Trump) were wrong too. The polls looked far better for Biden then the real results. The USA is really divided. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I've misjudged the intelligence level of the trump supporter. I know plenty of reasonable and intelligent Trump supporters. When it comes to the issues, they tend not to bevery knowledgeable. For instance, most red states now offer expanded Medicaid which is part of Obamacare. 5 red states actually approved of it by referenda. In West Virginia it's made a huge difference.

Popular Post Natai Beach Posted November 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2020 So Donny received less than half the votes (about 48%), came second, and still wants to be Top Dog. He should give Prayut a call. Prayut pulled off a miraculous victory with less than 18% of the votes. Prayut will show him how it’s done. Palangchart will be laughing at Donny’s amateurism. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fat is a type of crazy Posted November 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Steve Bannon apparently said Christopher Wray and Anthony Fauci could be beheaded and there heads put on a pike as a warning to federal bureaucrats. In one way it is fun to watch Trump and his supporters flail and moan and litigate and struggle to come up with new conspiracy theories as to corruption in the election. In another way it's worrisome to see where this heads if Trump supporters take seriously the stuff he and his cronies are putting forward. Come on Donald leave with just a tiny tiny shred of dignity if any shreds are left. Edited November 6, 2020 by Fat is a type of crazy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
