US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tuesday that there will be a smooth transfer of power to a new Trump administration.

It was during a press conference Tuesday that Pompeo made the sensational statement.

– It will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration, he says and laughs a bit.

He was asked whether the fact that no transition process has been initiated from President Donald Trump to the administration of incoming President Joe Biden threatens national security when he made the statement.

– We are ready. We will count all the votes, and when the process is over, the voters will be selected, and it is a process that the constitution presents quite clearly, continues.

– The world must have full confidence that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will work well today, tomorrow, and that it will work well under the president who is in the White House on January 20.

– Whip the boss

– My immediate thought is that it sounds like a joke from a man who does his best not to curse his boss, says Sigrid Rege Gårdsvoll, communications consultant and writer for Amerikanskpolitikk.no.

He adds that he may be playing Pompeo in a good way.

– Try to convince yourself a little of the situation. In the rest of his answer, it is implied that Biden has won, although he does not say any names. The rest of the answer is factual. He says no one should worry about the process, says Rege Gårdsvoll.

This could be a great opportunity for Pompeo to show off some spine, she thinks.

– You’ve been sitting around for a while finding a little balance between doing your job and somehow slapping the boss. So I think there are probably not many who are very surprised that he continues to do so, but just in the situation that they are in now, he would have had a good chance to show his column.

Will investigate presidential elections – principal resigns

President Donald Trump has refused to congratulate Joe Biden on his election victory, insisting that he won the election.

He justifies it with complaints of electoral fraud in several states.

The Trump campaign or its staff have released no documentation regarding their massive voter fraud allegations.

Pompeo’s statement on a smooth transition to a second Trump administration is attracting attention and reactions have been swift.

Politician Bill Pascrell sits in the New Jersey State Ninth District House of Representatives and is very clear on Twitter.

– Fascism in reality. But Trump will leave office on January 20. Pompeo is going to pack his things with him. Put it on your calendar, Pascrell writes.

Ted Deutch, chairman of the House Ethics Committee, writes:

– Pompeo registers that the world is watching. Which is true. And what they see is a careless, stupid and undemocratic political coup from the Chancellor that jeopardizes the integrity of our elections.

Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power believes the remarks are dangerous.

– This is incredibly indefensible, dangerous, and damaging to US security. she writes.
