The outgoing president has yet to concede victory to Biden and posts Fox News short videos on Twitter in which network reporters or Republican representatives question the outcome of the vote. And in the meantime he is evaluating some stumbling blocks to put his successor in difficulties to be implemented in the last two months in the White House.
Donald Trump continues to express his reactions to the presidential defeat against Joe Biden through social media, while remaining silent. The tycoon recently posted his twitter several short Fox News videos in which reporters from the network or Republican representatives question the result of the vote. In almost all the clips published, Twitter has inserted the warning: “This statement on electoral fraud is in dispute”, which in recent days has appeared in almost all of the former president’s positions (THE USA SPECIAL 2020).

Trump, therefore, remains firm in his position, continues in his line of speaking about the fraud of the Democrats and does not contemplate granting victory to Biden, despite the pressure exerted – says CNN – not only by his adviser-in-law Jared Kushner, but also of the first lady Melania, who in these hours are increasingly asking her to accept defeat. On his first day as outgoing president, Trump returned to a golf course and between one hole and another evaluated what to do in the 80 days left between now and January 20, when he will have to leave office forever.
Pressure Trump to concede defeat
Even a bipartisan group of former White House officials, including many
Republican representatives urged Trump to admit defeat to allow “the post-election transition process to begin immediately.” “It was a very close campaign, but history is full of examples of presidents emerging from such campaigns graciously accompanying their successors,” reads the note released by the advisory board of the Center for Presidential Transition, a bipartisan NGO. “Even if there will be clashes in court that will require a trial, the outcome is clear enough that the transition process begins now,” the letter published by Politico reads. The document is signed by Democrats but also Republicans,
transition experts: including George W. Bush White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former Utah Republican Governor Michael Leavitt, as well as Clinton-era Chief of Staff Thomas McLarty and Secretary of Obama Trade, Penny Pritzker.

At the moment Trump seems to have no intention of inviting Biden to the White House, an established practice in the transfer between one president and another. And it is unclear whether he will acknowledge defeat with a public speech or even be present on Biden’s inauguration day, January 20, 2021.

And Trump’s plans include not only the announced legal offensive to question the electoral result. The tycoon evaluates a wave of decisions that immediately put in difficulties, stumbles or retaliation to those who replace him to be implemented in the last two months that he will be in the White House. One of the most sensational hypotheses is the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the case of Hunter Biden, the son of the president-elect who in the last phase of the electoral campaign was the target of his dealings in Ukraine and with China.

Trump’s latest moves as president could also include torpedoing Justice Minister William Barr and FBI chief Christopher Wray to put henchmen in their place. But the head of the Pentagon, Mark Esper, the head of the CIA, Gina Haspel, the immunologist Anthony Fauci and the head of the CDC (the highest health authority), Robert Redfield, could also be fired. A confrontation also to facilitate at all levels of the administration the launch of a series of last-minute rules and regulations, measures designed to protect the Trumpian legacy and the interests of his family as much as possible. However, Trump will have to carefully assess the effects of his next moves in terms of risks and image, bearing in mind that life outside the White House will be different and less protected by the shield of immunity, with several ongoing investigations into the.
