It has been almost a week since Joe Biden was announced as the winner of the American election and the 77-year-old man delivered a victory speech in front of the media.
The unknown radio silence around Donald Trump has lasted for almost a week. The current president of the United States has not yet accepted his defeat and consequently has not congratulated his challenger from the Democratic Party.
But what about Trump, 74? How badly is the defeat affecting you? And what do you do during this time in which you avoid appearances in front of the camera as much as possible?
“He knows it’s over”
What is clear is that Trump is sticking to the strategy of presenting himself as the winner of the presidential election. Through Twitter, the only place where Trump has been in constant communication since election night, he spreads so-called evidence allegedly proving voter fraud at irregular intervals. Several were exposed as lies within hours.
In the White House, however, it obviously looks different. “He knows it’s over,” says a Trump adviser to journalist Maggie Haberman, who works as a correspondent for the New York Times and CNN in Washington. Haberman always has exclusive insights into the daily life of the President of the United States. In 2022, the 47-year-old wants to publish a book about Trump and his term.
Advisers warn Trump to stop talking about fraud
The environment, especially son-in-law and chief adviser Jared Kushner (39), wants the incumbent president to finally admit defeat. But this is currently just trying to keep talking, Haberman writes of Trump’s current approach. “He wants to know how far he can overcome his arguments against his defeat and get more support from his Republican party.”
This causes frustration among White House employees. Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani (76) also contributes to this. So far it has not complied. Apparently, the advisers have also asked Trump not to talk about “fraud” (fraud) in relation to the election result, because otherwise this could have legal consequences. After all, you seem to be following this advice. Since then he has been using the term “rigged” instead.
Trump now sits a lot in front of television
Otherwise, Trump currently spends a lot of time in front of television, where he follows coverage of his final weeks as president of the United States. “It’s not loud, but the humor is usually bad,” reports Habermas from the closest circle of Trump employees.
In reality, the weeks between the US elections and the new president’s inauguration the following January are there to prepare for a smooth business handover. Not so with Donald Trump. In the White House, he is apparently already making plans for a renewed candidacy in 2024.
It’s open if I would really go through with this. A marketing strategy could also be behind the campaign, so that Trump does not suddenly disappear from the scene as soon as he is no longer on top of the US (VIEW reported).
But Trump is still president of the United States. However, it is unclear when he will appear in public again. Until then, Twitter has to be the only direct connection to the outside world. (cat)
