President Donald Trump released a bizarre 46-minute video that he posted on Facebook calling for the election to be ‘voided’ and admitted that his comments would be ‘belittled’.
Rather than choosing any number of places where he could deliver important remarks in front of an audience or with reporters present who might ask questions, Trump spoke before the White House cameras, with repeated and awkward cuts from editors.
“Even what I am saying now will be degraded and belittled,” he predicted as he filed one claim after another, including several that have been brought forward by his legal team and discredited.
Trump said it “ may be the most important speech I’ve ever made, ” then went to work trying to argue that the election was rigged, that the results should be overturned in several states where President-elect Joe Biden got the most votes. than him, and urged the Supreme Court to intervene.
President Donald Trump called for the vote in the undecided states he lost to be ‘overruled’ and claimed the election was a ‘total catastrophe’, even though his attorney general and a host of judges did not accept accusations of widespread fraud. .
At one point, he showed a graphic purporting to show a plan to steal an election, but an increase in votes that he pointed to was identified as Milwaukee County votes being counted once they arrived. President-elect Joe Biden did well there. just like previous Democratic candidates dating back years.
He made repeated claims of fraud, people killed voting, mysterious voting machine anomalies, and alleged corruption in big cities with Democratic votes for Joe Biden, even though his attorney general and a large number of judges did not accept claims from widespread fraud.
‘This choice was rigged. Everybody knows. I don’t care if I lose an election, but I want to lose a fair and square election. What I don’t want to do is have it stolen from the American people, ” Trump complained.
There were five edit jumps in the first three minutes of the video alone, giving in at an awkward pace despite being filmed at the center of the US government’s power.
Biden’s vote approached 81 million votes Wednesday, and his advantages top 6 million, while his electoral college victory is shaping up to 306-232.

Trump said it was “statistically impossible” for it not to prevail. Said the ‘best pollsters’ couldn’t understand what happened
But Trump said it was “statistically impossible” for it not to prevail.
He noted an ‘unexpected success across the country and right here in Washington’, saying: ‘It is statistically impossible that the person, me, who led the charge lost. The best pollsters, the real pollsters, not the ones who made us lose 17 points in Wisconsin when we actually won, but the ones who made us lose four or five points in Florida and won by many points or even brought us down in Texas. , and we won by a lot, not those pollsters, but real pollsters who are fair and honest, they said, “We can’t understand something like this: it never happened before you led the country to victory and you were the only one who was Lost. No it’s possible, “he said.
Trump’s defeat came despite Republicans occupying the Senate and rejecting numerous Democrats leading the pre-election polls and winning multiple seats in an election that many predicted would be a ‘blue wave’.
Trump, however, called the election a “total catastrophe” and said the results cannot be trusted.
He complained of “machinery that miraculously stopped during certain parts of the night to open with more votes.”
“Many people in the media and even the judges so far have refused to accept it. They know it’s true. They know it’s there. They know who won the elections. But they refuse to say: you are right. Our country needs someone to say that you are right, ‘he said.
He claimed that the dead voted, although several examples presented by his lawyers have failed.
“Millions of votes were cast illegally only in undecided states,” he said.
“If that’s the case, the results of the individual swing states should be overridden and overridden immediately,” Trump said.
‘Some people say that is too much. That is too harsh. Well, does that mean we took a president and we just elected a president, where the votes were fraudulent? No. It means you have to hand over the election.
‘What a disastrous choice this was. A total catastrophe, ” he said.
He said that “hopefully” the US Supreme Court “will see it” and “will do the right thing for our country.”
At one point, he appeared to link his drive to overturn the election results to his personal legal situation.
“Now, I’ve heard that these same people who couldn’t get me to Washington have sent all the information to New York so they can try to get me there,” Trump said, referring to prosecutors who have been investigating his company for possible allegations of tax fraud. or insurance.
Trump spoke a day after Attorney General Bill Barr said there was insufficient evidence of fraud to overturn the results.
I may have a new vote, but I don’t think it’s appropriate. When those votes are corrupt, when they are irregular, when they are caught, they are canceled and I win very easily, ” Trump said.
Earlier Wednesday, Trump’s former national security adviser Mike Flynn criticized an article calling on Trump to declare martial law and for the military to oversee a new vote.
Trump released the video about an hour after Biden kicked off an event in Wilmington where he held a panel discussion with workers and small business owners battling the economic crisis.
