His loss still refuses to recognize US President Donald Trump, but the Republican said for the first time on Thursday that he will leave the White House if the Electoral College appoints Joe Biden as the new president. Although that would be “a mistake”, because of the “massive electoral fraud”. A journalist who insisted had to pay for it: “You are a lightweight. I am the president. Don’t talk to me like that! ”

Trump answered questions from journalists for the first time since the election, following a video call with US soldiers abroad on the Thanksgiving holiday. His last Thanksgiving at the White House? He doesn’t know yet, Trump still believes in a second term.
But if the Electoral College votes for Joe Biden as president, will he admit his loss? “It will be a very difficult thing to admit because we know there was massive fraud,” Trump replied. “The question is whether I can make this device move fast enough. Because time is not on our side. Everything else is, facts are on our side. This was massive fraud. This should never happen in our country, we are exactly a third world country. ”
After Trump listed allegations of fraud, the journalist reiterated his question. “Just to be clear, if the Electoral College votes for Joe Biden as president, will you admit your loss?”
“If they do, they are making a mistake,” Trump said. “Because this election was fraudulent, just so you understand, this was fraud. I mean, they have Biden beating Obama, and Obama’s vote count, in places where it counts, in swing states. At the same time, he loses all over the country to Obama, but he beats him in swing states that are important for the election. So no, I can’t say that at all. ”
When the journalist pushed further, Trump snapped: “Don’t talk to me like that. You are only a lightweight. Don’t talk to me like that, don’t talk like that, I’m the president of the United States. Never talk to the president like that. Okay, I’m going to choose a different question. ”
It read: If the Electoral College elects Joe Biden as president, won’t Trump leave the White House? “Of course I will, you know that. But I think a lot more things will happen between now and the twentieth (January, the day of the swearing-in, ed.).”
What Biden does “not right”
Joe Biden brings in 306 electors. That is enough to get a majority of 270 votes when the electors of the Electoral College meet in the various states on December 14 and cast their votes. On January 6, those votes will be formally counted at a joint session of Congress. Biden will then be sworn in as the new president on January 20.
The president said it is “not right” that his rival is now putting together a government.
“Covid used for scam”
Trump hammered out the alleged “massive electoral fraud” during his conversation. “Nobody believes the numbers. Joe Biden did not get 80 million votes. The numbers are false, the numbers are corrupt. It was a fake election and people know it. That’s why you see people arguing all over the US right now. ”
Among other things, the president claimed again that Dominion voting machines and signatures on postal ballots were being fiddled with, and that the dead voted. “They used Covid to scam the people of this country. And the whole world is watching, and the whole world is laughing at our electoral process. The whole world is watching and it is a very sad thing. ”
“Most Important Thing I Ever Did”
According to Trump, he has accomplished a lot – such as the “medical miracle” of the corona vaccine that Biden should absolutely not credit – but his fight against the election result may be the most important thing he ever did.
“We caught them cheating, stealing,” Trump said. According to the president, it happened much more often than they have evidence of, but “we were just lucky to catch them sometimes”. It would be hundreds of thousands of false votes in any state, “much, much more than we need”.
“Rally with tens of thousands of followers”
He also said experts told him it was impossible for him to lose in Arizona and certainly Pennsylvania, with Bidens “anti-fuel and anti-fracking and all the things they stand against.” In Wisconsin, he actually even won, Trump declared, because it is “very, very close” and they found “massive irregularities” there. Only “Big Tech” and “The Fake News Media” don’t want to show that. “If the media and Big Tech were honest in this country, this never would have happened. It wouldn’t even be a competition and I would have won by a huge difference. And I won with a huge difference, but it has not been reported yet. But people understand what happened. ”
Trump also said he will likely host a rally with tens of thousands of supporters in Georgia on Saturday night, where people are very disappointed that they were “robbed.” “Because we won there by hundreds of thousands of votes. I don’t want them to be disappointed, but that will be resolved. ”
