In the bitter Twitter spiel, he said today: “Observers were not allowed into the counting rooms.

“I won the elections, I got 71 million legal votes. Bad things happened that our observers couldn’t see.

“It never happened before. Millions of ballots were mailed to people who never asked for them! “

I won the election, I got 71 million legal votes. Bad things happened that our observers couldn’t see.

The unsubstantiated claims come after Trump was photographed playing golf on his Stirling, Virginia, course, when a victory in the battlefield state of Pennsylvania ensured Biden’s electoral victory.

The Republican is believed to have enjoyed more than 200 rounds during his four years in office.

BAD LOOSER

Trump issued a statement shortly after the news broke from the Palestinian Authority, accusing his rival of “swiftly posing as the winner.”

It read: “We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to pose as the winner, and why his allies in the media are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth exposed.

“The simple fact is that this election is far from over.

“Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any state, let alone highly controversial states that are heading for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.

“In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not allowed meaningful access to observe the counting process. Legal votes decide who the president is, not the media.”

While Trump played golf, the president-elect was photographed celebrating the victory with his family.

Biden’s granddaughter, Naomi Biden, shared a photo of the former vice president, along with his grandchildren, in a big group hug on Saturday night.

But the Trump campaign refuses to accept defeat and has vowed to take legal action to “ensure that electoral laws are fully enforced and that the rightful winner is seated.”

The president has also criticized Biden for wanting the ballots to be counted “even if they are fraudulent, manufactured or cast by ineligible or deceased voters.”

Trump added: “So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American people have the honest vote count that they deserve and that democracy demands. “

He lost the historic race with Biden leading him in several decisive states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona.

Earlier today, Trump repeated his unsubstantiated claim that he won the election.

He tweeted: “I WON THIS ELECTION, BY FAR!”

Meanwhile, President Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer told a news conference that the situation was “extremely worrying.”

The Trump campaign civil rights case alleges that “President Trump’s campaign was denied its right to a fair recount.”

Giuliani said the case will go to federal court.

The former New York mayor claimed that more than 50 court observers will testify that they were “uniformly deprived of their right to inspect any part of the ballots by mail.”

Giuliani added: “There was no security. The people of this country have no guarantee of all those votes that were cast.”

This comes as campaign members claim that Trump has not prepared a concession speech and has told allies that he has no intention of admitting defeat, CNN reports.

The Republican believes the election was “stolen,” despite a lack of evidence, and has the support of his adult children and some high-level aides.

Before heading to the golf course today, Trump continued to post angry tweets.

He claimed that the “tractors” blocked the vote counting even though the centers reportedly had independent observers inside during the process.

Trump tweeted: “… Bad things happened during those hours when LEGAL TRANSPARENCY was not allowed in a cruel and brutal way.

“The tractors blocked the doors and the windows were covered with thick cardboard so that observers could not see inside the tally rooms. BAD THINGS HAPPENED INSIDE. BIG CHANGES WERE MADE!

However, a member of the Trump campaign admitted that the president’s team has “nothing concrete” to back up their claims of “fraud,” reports CNN.

White House staff are also reportedly frustrated with people like Chief of Staff Mark Meadows for fueling the president’s “unsubstantiated claims”.

Trump’s lawyers have launched legal challenges in at least six swing states alleging voter fraud, Bloomberg reports.

A lawyer said, “Let’s play until the whistle blows.”

Another source said of Trump: “He is in fight mode. He thinks it is beneficial for him to fight.”

His campaign said yesterday morning that they will refuse to grant the election, calling the projections of a Biden victory “false” and the race “far from the end.”

Trump’s campaign manager Matt Morgan said: “This election is not over.”

However, many of the Republican’s allies worry that his reluctance to admit defeat could tarnish his reputation and future political career.

Vice President Mike Pence, who has not been seen publicly since Wednesday morning, is helping to generate funds for the legal fight, it was reported.

Trump spent yesterday morning “angry and frustrated” watching television and complaining that Republicans did not defend him, the report says.

Meanwhile, Biden is expected to address the nation with Kamala Harris and his wife, Jill, on Saturday at 8 p.m.
