In Thanksgiving Message, Trump Says 'We're Like a Third-World Country' Because He Lost Election

In a surprise news conference on Thanksgiving Day, President Trump took questions from the press for the first time since losing re-election—but he doubled down on his “rigged” election claims and appeared to deny the reality that his presidency is ending, saying it will be “very hard” for him to concede to Joe Biden.

“I think it’s not right he’s trying to pick a Cabinet,” Trump complained after railing against the supposed “massive fraud” that he claims gave Biden victory.

Reiterating his claims of voter fraud in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia despite the fact that state authorities have already certified the election results in those states, Trump appeared to become combative when asked if he would concede if the Electoral College votes for Biden on Dec. 14: “It’s going to be a very hard thing to concede. Because we know there was massive fraud.”

“Time isn’t on our side … this was a massive fraud, this should never take place in this country, we’re like a third-world country,” he said, suggesting that faulty vote-counting machines gave Biden millions of extra votes.

No we're a third world country because you believe we can overturn an election because you don't like the results.

He must have worked in a movie theater in a past life, as he is certainly a master projectionist - 🎥

since it is the only way to scam $$$ from his cult. He will continue to do this until he is stone, cold dead. It is his MO, it is who and what he is in his DNA.

In fact I bet there will be a challenge any electoral vote can be challenged by one senator and one representative.

I'm sure there are plenty of Republican eager to make a stupid symbolic statement about... something... who will make some challenges.

The house will reject all challenges, but they'll have made their statement...

All of the voting machines and tabulators should be audited. The HAVA should be updated to create a national certification body that will analyze all voting machine software. Machines should not be allowed to be used for any election until they are independently certified.
