Is the situation in the United States complicated?

President Donald Trump is reluctant to accept the victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden. You want to win through legal battles. The transfer of power has also stalled. You have started to take steps to deal with any possible situation. The Defense Ministry has removed some of the top civil servants and replaced them with its own loyalists.

Newly elected President Joe Biden, meanwhile, says Donald Trump’s refusal to accept defeat is “disgraceful.” But nothing can stop the transfer of power. Analysts believe that the post-election situation in the United States is getting complicated as the two main political camps remain in place. Meanwhile, Chief Justice John Roberts told multi-party representatives at a Supreme Court hearing on Obamacare’s health policy on Tuesday: “Stop this. Don’t ask the justices to do the work of Congress. Don’t drag the court into political confusion. ‘

Trump’s confidants are being placed in the defense ministry

A CNN analysis on Wednesday said President Trump’s administration will assume the character of an administration in shambles. The army’s “chain of command” is being destroyed. The test of fidelity is ongoing. Joe Biden hopes for a peaceful transfer of power, but President Trump and the Republicans have not admitted defeat. Trump is closing the door and making one misleading tweet after another when Biden began speaking with allied leaders. Defense Secretary Mark Asper has fired several senior civil servants.

In other CNN news, four top Pentagon officials were fired or resigned in just 24 hours. They oversaw Trump’s politics and intelligence affairs. They have been replaced by those loyal to Trump. Among them is a man who was widely criticized for calling former President Barack Obama a “terrorist.” Pentagon military and civilian officials are concerned about the fallout from Trump’s move.

According to the report, after the removal of Mark Asper, there is a hint of chaos in the Pentagon. Concerns are growing that national security could be undermined by disrupting the transfer of power to Biden. Senior officials who have worked with the Trump administration are aware of the president’s sudden decision. But after the elections, the uncertainty has increased. “It is a scary and volatile situation,” a defense official told CNN. Adam Smith, a Washington state Democrat-elect and chairman of the House of Representatives Armed Services, said in a statement that the reorganization was “very dangerous.”

Power transfer activities stopped

Joe Biden and Orange Harris have begun preparations to take over. But Trump continues to do everything possible to delay and obstruct the systematic transfer of power. The General Services Administration (GSA) is a federal agency responsible for arranging transfers. They have yet to recognize Biden as president-elect. The head of the organization is Emily Murphy, Trump’s preferred official. It has blocked the transfer of power.

CNN says that in the past, these obstacles have not worked well. The formation of the National Security Council was delayed by the delay in the transfer of power during the 2000 elections under George W. Bush. This was also seen as the cause of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Max Steer, director of the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, said the newly elected president has a long way to go to handle the daunting task. . So, the process of handing over power starts from the day of the elections. With that in mind, the folks at Biden are actively working on a power transfer plan.

Max Steer believes that delays in the transfer of power could threaten public and national security. In addition to security, the economy can also be challenged. However, it is difficult to say how long this process can be stopped. Because according to the Constitution of the United States, the new president will have to take office at noon on January 20. “Honestly, nothing can stop us,” Joe Biden said.

That’s what Donald Trump and his allies say

Trump made several tweets on Tuesday. In these tweets, he stated that there were massive irregularities in the vote counting and that we would be the winners. However, Twitter has called its tweets “controversial.” Because without any evidence, President Trump is alleging election fraud.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, known for his loyalty to Donald Trump, also told a news conference on the transfer of power that the second term of the Trump administration will begin when every “legitimate” vote is counted. Top leaders of Trump’s Republican Party have also distanced themselves from accepting Joe Biden’s prediction of victory. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson told reporters Tuesday that nothing has happened yet to congratulate Joe Biden. Mitch McConnell, the top Republican leader in the Senate, says President Trump has a 100 percent right to challenge the election outcome on battlefields like Pennsylvania.

It is shameful not to admit defeat for Trump: Biden

So far, Biden has not sought to increase tensions with Trump. In Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday, he said it was shameful not to acknowledge Trump’s defeat. Speaking of strategy, I don’t think it helps the succession of the president.

Joe Biden has already begun communicating by phone with foreign leaders in preparation for taking office. On Tuesday, he spoke by phone with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Ireland, the President of France and the German Chancellor. “I told them America was back,” Biden said. Many governments and heads of state have already congratulated Biden. He was last received by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

President Trump has yet to provide the basis or evidence to win the legal battle. Many feel that they cannot take advantage of the court. According to Max Steer, there is no problem if Trump reverses the election results and returns to power. The problem is altering the normal functioning of the state. Every decision of the state leaders affects the people. So now the complexity of the power transfer process is of concern to all Americans.
