Elections in the United States: Eric Trump’s tweet about his father fails

A Twitter post by Donald Trump’s son Eric fell through after he asked people to show their support for the president.

On Thursday, Eric Trump asked his Twitter followers to retweet his post “if you LOVE our president.”

It can only be assumed that the 36-year-old man expected the responses to be filled with people praising his father, but got a very different response.

Instead, most people used the post as an opportunity to remind Eric that his father had lost the election and to show their support for President-elect Joe Biden.

Biden beat Trump in the presidential election by 306 votes to 232 in the electoral college.

Even though Biden’s transition to the presidency is already underway, Trump has refused to budge and has repeatedly voiced unsubstantiated allegations of widespread voter fraud.

The Trump campaign has launched dozens of lawsuits in the wake of the election and has forced several states in which Biden claimed victory to count their votes.

The president and his allies have lost at least 30 post-election demands. According to some calculations, the number reaches 41-1 losses.

One of the latest demands by a Trump supporter challenging election results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin has been called the “craziest” and “dumbest” case yet.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, announced this week his intention to sue the four swing states in the United States Supreme Court.

In his presentation, Paxton argues that the states in question “exploited the Covid-19 pandemic” to enact “last minute changes” to their electoral rules, “skewing” the outcome of the elections.

He also argues that the probability that Biden would have won the popular vote in the four accused states, given Trump’s head start in them “at 3 am Nov. 4,” was “less than one in a quadrillion, or 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000 “. .

The first hints of Trump in these states were due to the fact that the electoral votes, which favored him, were counted first. The mail-in votes, which favored Biden, were later counted, causing Trump’s lead to evaporate.

The Trump campaign has continually claimed that Biden outperformed Trump in these key states due to election fraud.

Rick Hasen, an electoral law expert and professor at the University of California, called Paxton’s recent lawsuit “the dumbest case I have ever seen emergency filed in the Supreme Court.”

Late last month, Trump came closer than ever to admitting that he lost the election.

While speaking with reporters after a Thanksgiving event at the White House, the president confirmed that he would step down if the electoral college voted for Biden on December 14.

“It’s going to be very difficult to admit because we know there was massive fraud,” he said.

“To find out whether or not I can make these gadgets move so fast, because time is not on our side, everything else is on our side, the facts are on our side, this was a massive fraud, this should never happen In this country, we are like a third world country. It was a rigged choice. “

When asked again if he would concede if the electoral college voted for Biden, Trump said: “If they do, they made a mistake because this election was a fraud. So no, I can’t say that.”

It took another reporter to press the question before Trump finally revealed that he would step down if the Dec. 14 vote did not go well.

“So if they do [vote for Biden]Will he not leave the White House? Asked the reporter.

“I certainly will,” Trump responded.

“I certainly will. And you know it. But I think a lot will happen between now and January 20. A massive fraud has been discovered. We are like a third world country. We are using computer equipment that can be hacked. They talk about flaws. How many flaws did they find? Oh, gee, we had one flaw, 5000 votes. “

But since then, the ass has gone back to insisting that he was the winner of the election and vowing to “never give up.”

Last week, Trump held his first political rally since the election, in which he wrongly claimed Georgia won.

“You know, we won Georgia, so you understand. And we won Florida. And we won many places. Thank you very much. No, we won many places. We won Florida and we won Ohio.” the outgoing president said to the crowd.

While Florida and Ohio won, Georgia has counted its votes twice, and Biden has been named the winner each time.

“I think they say if you win in Florida and if you win in Ohio, in history you’ve never lost an election. It has to be the first time. But the truth is, they were right. We never lost an election. We are winning this election.” Trump said.

“We keep fighting. We have had great moments. We just need someone with courage to do what he has to do. Because everyone knows that it is wrong. We need someone with courage, someone to make decisions.”

“And we’re going to go to the Supreme Court very soon, and really, if we have the courage and wisdom, I think he will know what the answer will be. Because he can’t let people get away with what they got away with.” with.”
