The staging continues.
In front of Republican MPs in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump's legal team presented witnesses to alleged irregularities in the November 3rd presidential election.
With bombastic figures, Rudy Giuliani tries to underpin the still unsubstantiated accusation that there was massive electoral fraud in the important key state.
Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump
Campaign Team "We did the math, and the evidence will back this up, that 682,770 postal votes in Allegheny County and Philadelphia were not monitored by Republicans."
A few days ago, Trump's lawyers failed to file a lawsuit against the election result in Pennsylvania.
Nevertheless, the US President continues to behave as if the election result were disputed - in this case on the other end of the phone line.
Donald Trump, US President
“Thank you for letting me speak here.
I'm in the Oval Office right now and watch with interest.
We easily won the election.
With a big gap.
As a Republican election observer you were treated like a dog, the Democratic on the other hand had no problems. "
Without evidence, Trump went on to claim that election observers have to work through binoculars because they were so far away.
Team Trump's appearances seem more bizarre every time.
But observers suspect a PR strategy behind it: a president who could only be ousted from office through fraud - Donald Trump is likely to tell this story to his supporters again and again after Joe Biden took office.
Possibly in preparation for another presidential campaign in 2024.
