Trump’s surprises do not end: two months of “anguish”

In a further step toward acknowledging defeat, outgoing US President Donald Trump announced, for the first time, his intention to leave office if the electoral college confirmed, at its meeting scheduled for December 14, that his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, had won the presidential election. A step that was quick to link with the fact that the entrance of the president-elect to the White House would occur if it was shown that the votes he obtained were not fraudulent. Although the Trump administration has begun the process of transferring power to the new administration, the president of the United States continues to promise surprises in the remaining few weeks of his first term. Although he intends to leave – by force – in the end, especially after the electoral appeals presented by his legal team failed to effect any desired changes, he will initiate many policies, internal and external, to complicate the tasks behind his back.

Trump remains in his position, seeing that it would be very difficult to admit defeat and compromise in the current circumstances. This was confirmed in an interview with reporters that followed his speech to the US Armed Forces abroad on the occasion of “Thanksgiving Day”, the day before yesterday, reiterating that he said that “there was a massive fraud” in the elections of 3 of November. And if he intended to leave the White House on the day the new president was sworn in, he said, “Of course I will, and you know it.” His statement has important significance at a time when his refusal to acknowledge Biden’s victory is considered steadfast as well as unique in American history. But he stressed, on the other hand, that “many things will happen before the twentieth” January. This near approval comes after all the appeals presented by his legal team have so far failed, while critical states in the elections, one after another, test the results of the vote.

A federal court in Pennsylvania rejected the Trump campaign’s request to withhold the announcement of Biden’s victory.

However, the president of the United States renewed his skepticism about these results, especially as the voting machines were plagued with problems and “transferred votes” in more than one place to Biden, “as if we were in a third world country.” He also declined to talk about the 2024 elections, in which he is rumored to be participating, given that the current elections are not over yet, and “there are thousands of votes that could change the outcome.” In response to one of the appeals filed by the Trump campaign, a federal court in Pennsylvania issued an injunction temporarily blocking any possible approval of the rest of the election results in the state. The ruling will be appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, before going to the Supreme Court in Washington, DC. In the same context, the president of the Republican Party in Arizona, Kelly Ward, said she will file a lawsuit to demand that she be allowed to review the ballots to determine whether they have been counted correctly or not. At this time, Trump announced that, on the fifth of next month, he will go to Georgia, which in January will organize by-elections to fill two seats in the Senate, most of which will be decided in it.
Earlier this week, Trump was forced to give the green light to initiate the process of transfer of power between his administration and the administration of the president-elect, allowing Biden to view various files, obtain funding and receive the daily briefing of the American intelligence services. He has also been able to access information related to the “Corona” epidemic and the progress of the various vaccines under development. The way the current administration dealt with the health crisis in the final months of Trump’s term influenced his defeat, after the death toll in the United States from “Covid-19” surpassed 260,000, the number highest in the world. In this context, the president of the United States said that the delivery of the vaccine against the virus will begin next week and the following week, highlighting that it will be sent, at first, to frontline workers, doctors and the elderly.
