‘Don the Con’ surpassed by his own administration, which says the election was the ‘safest in US history’

WASHINGTON: The Trump administration’s own federal agencies charged with overseeing election security said Thursday that the Nov. 3 poll was “the safest in American history” and there was no “evidence” of fraud. Elsewhere, China and Pope Francis reached out to congratulate the Biden-Harris team, and the AP called Arizona for Biden in the middle multiple legal setbacks for the defeated President.
But huddled in the White House, Donald Trump continued to insist that he had won the election, tweeting outlandish conspiracy theories ridiculed by all but his own loyalist base.

Report: Dominion knocked out 2.7 million Trump votes nationwide. Data analysis finds that 221,000 Pennsylvania votes switched from President Trump to Biden. 941,000 Trump votes eliminated. States using Dominion’s voting systems traded 435,000 votes from Trump to Biden, “he tweeted amid reports that Republican operatives are trying to get states with Republican legislatures where he narrowly lost to ignore Biden’s popular mandate. and assign loyal constituents to support him on the grounds of the election was flawed.
“These states in question should immediately be included in the Trump Win column. Biden didn’t win, he lost by big!” Trump said in a tweet that it was flagged for falsehood.
A more benign explanation for the defeated president’s damned refusal to concede is that he’s using the issue to rally his base so Republicans can at least win the two runoff elections in Georgia that could decide control of the Senate, as long as it feels the foundations for the Medium term Congressional elections in 2022 and a presidential race in 2024. The White House leaks had anonymous aides stating that Trump is aware that his strategy is failing and plans to back down once the states formally certify Biden as the winner, immediately announcing a race for 2024.
The biggest blow to Trump’s malevolent claim that the elections were rigged came from the Department of Homeland Security’s Electoral Infrastructure Government Coordination Council and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which said in a statement that “the 3 November were the safest in US history, “and added in bold,” There is no evidence that any voting system has eliminated or lost votes, changed votes or been compromised in any way. ”
Meanwhile, Trump’s team continued to face legal setbacks with judges dropping frivolous charges of alleged voter fraud based on clerical errors and minor discrepancies that would not alter the bottom line. Separately, another law firm representing Trump in a Pennsylvania electoral negligence lawsuit fled to withdraw from the case.
Several moderate Republican lawmakers also began to back away from Trump, striking a delicate balance between upholding the American people’s verdict and the need not to antagonize an agitator whose help they will need to get reelected. They expressed their concession by supporting demands that Biden should receive classified reports from the administration because of an elected president, implicitly recognizing him as the winner in the presidential election.
“Like any seeming winner, you should have access to office space, federal employees, materials, supplies, whatever, but the standard assistance the seeming winner receives. That in no way prevents President Trump from seeking his legal recourse if he thinks there are wrongdoings, but it shouldn’t delay the transition, because we want the president-elect, assuming he prevails, to be ready from day one. Susan Collins told reporters.
Flow in Washington Almost ten days after the elections continued even as the US surpassed 160,000 Covid-19 cases a day, eight days after it hit the 100,000-a-day mark, with a death toll approaching 243,000. There is growing concern that the Biden-Harris team will inherit a situation out of control given Trump’s apparent inattention to the matter and the information blackout he has imposed on the transition team.
Some lawmakers have also said that the embargo constitutes a national security risk for the United States on a geopolitical level.
The defeated president, famous for being talkative and camera-hungry, hasn’t spoken publicly in nearly a week and has only made one public appearance on Veterans Day and considers his options. He’s also tweeting a lot less these days. His daily schedule shows almost no official events or meetings, leading to charges for breach of duty. Withering comments in the mainstream media characterize him as “Don the Con” filling his pockets before the story throws him out of the White House.
