Donald Trump lost the presidential election, but some of his followers were demonstrating in Washington on Saturday, summoned mainly by small groups of the extreme right, to denounce what they consider as an electoral “robbery”, despite the absence of concrete elements to prove this accusation.
On his way from the White House to go golfing, the President of the United States, who has yet to acknowledge his loss to Joe Biden a week after the results were released, he could see from his armored limousine his several hundred supporters gathered in the center of the city.
The presidential convoy passed in front of Freedom Plaza, where enthusiastic supporters shouted “Four more years! Four more years!” or “USA! USA!”
Many of them waved flags of “Trump 2020” and some carried banners that read “Best President Ever” or “Stop Theft.”
“It’s heartwarming to see all the tremendous support out there, especially the rallies that are naturally springing up across the country, including a big one on Saturday in (Washington) DC. I can even try to pass and say hello “Trump tweeted on Friday.
With some confusion, several demonstrations were planned for Saturday, supported by far-right personalities like Enrique Tarrio, leader of the “Proud Boys”, a nationalist group.
Darion Schaublin drove over six hours from Ohio to denounce a “completely rigged system” and the “Media manipulation”.
This 26-year-old, who claims to have lost his job in a restaurant for refusing to wear a mask, doubts the “legitimacy” of the election result.
Margarita Urtubey, a 49-year-old horse breeder from Florida with a friend of Uruguayan origin like her, estimates that “Trump won the presidential elections by a margin.”
“Everybody knows. But he is against the media, the technology giants and corruption is horrible ”, denounces wearing a cap with the Trump slogan“ Make America Great Again ”and saying part of the “resistance”.
On the other hand, there are also other anti-Trump demonstrations called this Saturday in Washington, raising fear of a tense climate in the United States capital.
Biden by bike
The results of all the states have already been announced by the big television networks of the country. Joe Biden got 306 electoral votes, against the 232 of the outgoing president: just the same figures, but in reverse, as in the victory of the Republican magnate, described then by him as a “tsunami”, against Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Although a recount of the votes has yet to be carried out in Georgia, where the difference is very small between the two candidates, the result will not change the final outcome at all: Joe Biden has, whatever happens in Georgia, of the 270 major voters needed to open the doors of the White House.
The former vice president of Barack Obama, who will turn 78 next week, went out on Saturday morning for a bike ride near his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Donald Trump, for his part, continues spreading confusion about their intentions.
This Friday he seemed about to acknowledge the victory of his rival, but fell back in extremis.
“Hopefully, what happens in the future, who knows what government it will be, I guess time will tell “, he claimed.
Various federal agencies have frontally refuted the accusations of irregularities poured by the president.
“The November 3 election was the safest in American history”, stated in a joint statement several local and national electoral authorities, including the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency (CISA), which depends on the Ministry of Homeland Security.
“There is no evidence of a voting system that has been erased, lost or changed ballots, or that it has been hacked in any way”.
