There are increasing signs that Donald Trump himself no longer expects an election victory.
In the White House it is quiet about him, the first confidants are supposed to withdraw.
Washington - In his speech to the
election results
on Thursday night seemed
Donald Trump
no longer as confident of victory as yet during his speech on the
evening
of
election day
.
The expression on his face looked as if it had lost its vigor.
Most of the time, his gaze is lowered towards his notes.
His voice was monotonous.
And the content of his
speech
is in parts unusually vague, almost reserved.
"And now we come to a point where I can go from winning an election by a large margin to maybe even a little behind," he said.
2020 US election: Trump less confident of victory?
The first employees withdraw
It is true that
Trump *
repeatedly railed against the
Democrats
and an alleged
election fraud
for which he had "so much evidence".
But while
Trump * was
usually very convinced of his plans, he now said it would “maybe end up at the highest court in the country, one would see”.
He also added that it would "hopefully be cleared up, maybe soon, hopefully soon."
Trump
shows himself in the White House,
according to
CNN
correspondent Kaitlan Collins
frustrated and angry.
He watches television and complains that not enough people are standing up for him.
Citing internal sources,
CNN
reports
that there are still a few allies who are on
Trump's
side and would confirm his views.
But first high-ranking
officials in
the
White House
withdrew from
Trump
.
With the allegations of the "stolen
election *
" he is largely alone in his team, as
CNN
quotes an advisor.
According to the
CNN correspondent,
some employees are
already looking for a job.
None of
Trump's
closest confidants
would have expected that he could lose.
