Donald Trump still doesn't seem to see the defeat in the 2020 US election.
The outgoing US President was now ridiculed on Twitter.
In the social networks,
Donald Trump *
declares himself
prematurely the winner of the
2020 US election,
although he officially lost the election.
He accuses the Democrats of wanting to steal the election victory - there was now ridicule for the outgoing US president on Twitter.
All information about the
US election 2020
can
be
found in our current news ticker.
Update from November 8, 2:06 p.m.:
The relationship between the outgoing US President
Donald Trump
and the short message service
is special.
On the one hand, Trump used the medium in a way that no politician had done before, and in some way heralded a
new era
in politics.
Meanwhile, numerous politicians take the short route via
to react to current events in the world or to reach their many followers.
On the other hand, it was also Twitter that set itself the task of
flagging
misinformation
in Trump's tweets and thereby often embarrassing the 74-year-old.
In the days after the election, when Trump with a Tweet-Salve, called the vote count in some
states in the United States
to stop several times by an
electoral fraud
and a
"stolen election"
wrote the short message service was forced to the tweets with
warnings
to be provided .
STOP THE COUNT!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 5, 2020
But that's not all!
A user now discovered that Twitter
not only put a warning
under a tweet from Trump in which he
claimed victory in the election
despite the
defeat against Biden
, but also linked it with a link.
This link led to an article, of all things, which said that Biden had won the election.
Trump will not have liked that.
WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE LINK IT OPENS TO BIDEN WINNING LMAO pic.twitter.com/8rGz7LJy5t

US election: Twitter and Facebook issue a warning to Trump's statements - "try to steal the election"
First report from November 4th:
Washington - "I'm going to make a statement tonight.
A big win! ”Is a recent tweet from US President
Donald Trump
.
In another, he claims the Democrats will steal the election victory.
It is provided with a warning from
.
As the Telegraph journalist James Titcomb writes on Twitter, this happened just a few minutes after the tweet appeared.
"Some or all of the content shared in this tweet is controversial and potentially misleading with regard to participating in an election or other civic process," the short message service said.
Because who will be the winner of the
2020 US election
is unclear.
The counting of votes has not yet ended, the outcome of the election is open.
US election 2020: Social media with warning for reporting Trump
The social network
Facebook also
responded to
Trump's
claims and provided his reports with indications that the votes would continue to be counted.
Likewise on
, which belongs to Facebook.
As Facebook itself announced, warnings have started to be issued after
Trump
declared
himself
the winner
too
early.
“The votes will continue to be counted.
The winner of the
2020 presidential election *
has not yet been announced, ”placed the company on the side of Donald Trump as well as that of its democratic challenger
Joe Biden *
.
This is currently causing a stir with a bizarre mix-up.
We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election.
We will never let them do it.
Votes cannot be cast after the polls are closed!

Facebook and Twitter with warnings: Trump with harsh accusations against Democrats
That the
Democrats will
manipulate the election is not a new accusation from
Donald Trump
.
For months, the
US president
has been trying
to discredit
his challenger
Joe Biden
and to unsettle US citizens.
A prominent example is his claim that postal voting has been manipulated *.
There is also no evidence to support Trump's allegation that the Democrats are stealing victory.
Literally,
Trump
tweeted,
“We're good at it, but they're trying to steal the election.
We will never allow it.
No votes can be cast after the polls have been completed! "
Under the Facebook video
Donald Trumps
with his live address, it says: "Final results can be different from the first results, as the counting can take days or weeks".
If you click on the note, you will be redirected to the “Voting Information Center” with facts about the
US election
and current results.
The source is the Bipartisan Policy Center, an American think tank.
The battle for US President between Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden has become a head-to-head race.
Trump declares himself the winner: Claims on Facebook continue to be shared
In response to requests from
Spiegel
, Facebook announced that the reach of the posts was not restricted.
Because the posts can still be commented on and shared.
As
Der Spiegel
continues, this sometimes happens with wrong content.
In this way, Facebook ensures that misleading reports reach fewer users.
Twitter
has chosen a different approach.
If you want to spread the said tweet in which
Trump makes
his allegation of election theft by the Democrats *, this is not possible as usual.
Because first Twitter generates the request to make the platform a place of reliable information.
Only when you add a comment to Trump's tweet yourself is it possible to retweet your claim.
As the
Frankfurter Allgemeine
reports, the Republicans would accuse social media of political influence and censorship.
Because even in the past few months, content that the incumbent US President and his team distributed was provided with a notice.
And according to
Business Insider
, it was already clear before the election to step in should one of the candidates prematurely announce their victory on social media.
US election 2020: Trump's tweet already shared a thousand times - research institute reports
The "Election Integrity Partnership", a US American association of research institutions, aims to identify attempts to delegitimize the election results or to prevent people from voting.
With a tweet, they commented
on
Twitter's
approach as follows: Twitter's action effectively stopped the spread of the tweet.
However, it has already been retweeted over 55,000 times and favored over 126,000 times.
This is as much or more reach than most of @real
DonaldTrump's
other tweets
today.
