WILMINGTON, Del./WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Wednesday falsely claimed that he had won the U.S. election with millions of votes still uncounted after his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, said he was confident of winning a contest that will not be resolved until a handful of states complete vote-counting over the next hours or days.

“Frankly, we did win this election,” Trump said after claiming he was winning several battleground states where votes were still being tallied.

“This is a fraud on the American public,” Trump said without providing any evidence to support the claim. Election laws in all U.S. states require all votes to be counted. More votes still stood to be counted this year than in the past as people voted early by mail and in person in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump won the battlegrounds of Florida, Ohio and Texas, dashing Biden’s hopes for a decisive early victory, but Biden said he was on track to winning the White House by taking three key Rust Belt states.

1. Cannot believe this is America now.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Numerous pundits on MSNBC are still explaining how misleading Trump's "speech" was

[William Seger]

3. Won't matter in the bubble

[Rhiannon12866]

4. No, but it's one more serious embarrassment on the world stage

He has no idea what he's talking about, said to "stop the voting" which has already stopped and he has no case that would possibly be appropriate for the Supreme Court.

[TigressDem]

6. But "HIS" court will see it "HIS" way, don'tcha think?

Why oh why did they rush that last Supreme Court appointment?


Hmmmmm?

[Rhiannon12866]

7. It was explained that issues don't go straight to the Supreme Court

They are litigated in the lower courts first, but Trump has no idea. And he has no case, the states are currently counting legitimate votes.

[TigressDem]

8. Yeah, people explain a lot of things to him, then he fires them.

Must be confused and still thinks he's on the Apprentice.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Or that he's one of those dictators that he so admires...

[TigressDem]

12. Riiight? nt

[TigressDem]

5. Can we still get Tar and Feathers?

If EVER there was a candidate in need of being tarred and feathered and rode out on a rail, it's Trump.


DUMP TRUMP like the white trash that he is.

[Nac Mac Feegle]

16. It's Calvinball with this guy EVERY TIME

The rules are what he says they are when he says they are. No matter what he said before.

17. "Obama will decree himself, Ruler for Life."

Dave Hodges -thecommonsenseshow.com in 2013:

I had a recent conversation with a man who scoffed at my notion that Obama has set himself up to be a dictator on the scale of a Hugo Chavez and even an Adolph Hitler.
“This could never happen in America,” the man proclaimed. “Congress and the Supreme Court would never let him get away with it.”
