Trump News Live: Latest Updates When Sanders Tells President To ‘Become A Man’ In Election

The president’s former national security adviser, now a fully paid member of #theResistance, was also on TV yesterday, telling CNN that history will remember Trump as “a failed president” and ABC. This week that the current unrest “hurts the country” by keeping sensitive intelligence materials out of the reach of the new president, and also calls Trump’s latest round of defense firings “destructive.”

Watching him, the president disliked him at all and attacked Bolton, overlooking the fact that he was the one who hired him.

Let’s briefly return to Sunday shows.

Also speaking yesterday was Ron Klain, the incoming chief of staff for the president-elect, who adopted a coldly dismissive tone in his conversation with Chuck Todd on NBC. Meet the press as he asked the General Services Administration to finally certify the result so that the Democrat’s transition team can continue to prepare for government in the national interest.

Griffin Connolly has this report.

Well can you blame them?

Oliver O’Connell has the inside track on the unworthiness of a garden center too far away for Trump’s lawyers.

“There is zero, zero bases” for annulling the election right now, says former George W. Bush attorney Barry Richard.

“They are not going to win this. All these cases, I believe, will be dismissed at the end of next week.

What does that legal fight look like, Don?

Last night it emerged that the president’s campaign is withdrawing a central part of its demand that seeks to stop the certification of the results of the elections in the fundamental state of Pennsylvania, a battlefield.

Ahead of Tuesday’s hearing in the case, Trump’s team dropped the allegation that hundreds of thousands of absentee and mail ballots (682,479, to be precise) were illegally processed without their representatives looking.

The campaign’s reduced lawsuit, filed in federal court Sunday, upholds the goal of preventing Pennsylvania from certifying a victory for Biden in the state and upholds its claim that Democratic voters were treated more favorably than Republican voters.

In the same interview with Pelley, the 44th president voiced his thoughts on America’s diminished place on the international stage thanks to Trump’s antics over the course of his disastrous four years in office and says it is “disappointing” that Republicans are indulging your desperate straw shots. .

He also explains why he will not join his former assistant’s cabinet: “Michelle would leave me!”

Here’s Andrew Buncombe again.

The president’s predecessor, Barack Obama, joined Sanders, and much of the rest of the world, in criticizing him for not admitting the inevitable, telling CBS’s Scott Pelley on 60 minutes: “A president is a public servant. They are temporary office occupants, by design. And when the time is up, it will be your job to put the country first and think beyond your own ego, your own interests, and your own disappointments.

“My advice to President Trump is that if he wants to be remembered in this later stage of the game as someone who put the country first, it is time for him to do the same.”

When Pelley asked him if he thought the president should give in, he said: “Absolutely. Well, I mean, I think it was about time he conceded, probably the day after the election, or at the latest, two days after the election.

“When you look at the numbers objectively, Joe Biden will have won comfortably. There is no scenario in which any of those states deviate, and it is certainly not enough to reverse the outcome of the elections. “

Andrew Buncombe has more.

Earlier Sunday, the president had released the following nonsensical spiel in which he inadvertently admitted that Biden had won after all.

That forced the inevitable retraction a while later, when the mad king returned from the links to tell the world: “I do not grant ANYTHING.”

Vincent Wood has the full story.

Trump invited further taunts overnight by tweeting “I WON” in capital letters, prompting the phrase “No you didn’t” to the tendency in the social network in retaliation and its message to be again censored by the moderators.

“Official sources called this election differently,” read the deadpan Twitter entry.

It’s very hard to disagree with UCL professor Brian Klaas’s verdict on where we are:

His latest howl of defiance followed a weekend he spent greeting far-right supporters gathered in DC from his caravan, playing golf and publishing conspiracy theories as his legal challenges to swing status results came to nothing.

Stuti Mishra has this one.

Popular progressive Senator Bernie Sanders has told Donald Trump to “become a man” for his refusal to grant the United States presidential election, as he continues to insist that Joe Biden’s victory in both the popular vote and Electoral College was only insured for “fraud”. a claim that has yet to provide significant supporting evidence.

Talking to Jake Tapper on CNN State of the union on Sunday, the Vermont independent said the president’s grumpy denial “is unbelievable in terms of behavior for an American president,” urging him to “come to terms with reality.”

When asked by the host if he was concerned that Trump might seek to remain in power beyond January 20, 2021, the day of the president-elect’s inauguration, Sanders responded: “As more and more victories are confirmed, state by state, for Biden, I think public support, in whatever shape, form, or shape for the president is now waning.

“The idea that he continues to tell his supporters that the only reason he may have lost this election is fraud is absolutely disgraceful and anti-American.

“And I just wish God that he had the decency in him to stand up and say, ‘You know what? We fought hard, we lost the elections. Good luck to Joe Biden. I love America. ‘”

Sanders continued, scathing and with full justification: “Trump will have the distinction of doing more than anyone in the history of this country to undermine American democracy.”

Tapper himself had a lot to say to the president and the Republican Party, allowing him to:
