The US has elected a new president. Donald Trump does not want to acknowledge Joe Biden's victory, however. Does that have a very specific reason?


The US has elected a new president.

Donald Trump does not want to acknowledge Joe Biden's victory, however.

Does that have a very specific reason?

  • Donald Trump does not want to admit defeat.

  • During the proclamation of Biden as the new president, Donald Trump was playing golf.

  • The allegations of election manipulation are still in the room.

    Trump wants to take action against it and sue.

Update from November 8, 9:40 p.m.:

Trump

does not give up, as quiet as it has been around him in the last few days, the more he is posting this Sunday,

the day after the decision of the US election

.

For one thing, he is now also accusing the media of not having to determine who will be the next president.

He also describes them as "lame" that is, lame.

"Since when does the Lamestream media determine who our next president will be?" Said

Trump on Twitter.

Since when does the Lamestream Media call who our next president will be?

We have all learned a lot in the last two weeks!

Like his son Donald Trump Jr., he also posts stories aimed at exposing alleged problems in Georgia.

As tight as it currently

looks

in

Georgia

, there could be general recounts here if the Trump administration demands this.

That is strongly to be assumed.

US election: Trump does not want to accept defeat - and tweets accusations of fraud again

Update from November 8, 3:45 p.m.:

The last few hours it was rather quiet about the still incumbent President Donald Trump.

But now he puts off

several tweets

in which he then marked the lawyer

Jonathan Turley

and

Newt Gingrich

, the former speaker of the House of Representatives and probably informal adviser to Donald Trump.

It seems like he's citing supporters here.

“We should look at the voices.

We are only just beginning the evaluation phase.

We should look at all of the allegations.

We get a large number of affidavits that prove electoral fraud.

We have a long history of electoral problems in this country.

In Pennsylvania there was an order from a "Supreme Court" judge who forced them to separate the votes that came in after the legislative deadline.

This requires the intervention of Judge Alito.

This involved a large number of votes.

We are talking about a systematic problem with authentication.

The type of authentication has a big effect on the overall CHOICE.

And what worries me is that there have been over a hundred million postal votes in cities like Philadelphia and Detroit that have a history of electoral problems (to put it mildly) @Jonathan Turely, "Trump tweeted.

.... how these ballots were authenticated, because if there's a problem in the system about authentication, that would seriously affect the ENTIRE ELECTION - And what concerns me is that we had over a hundred million mail-in ballot in cites like Philladelphia. ..

But that was not all the President had to say, because

Donald Trump once again broached the issue of

the

election being “stolen” on Twitter

.

“We believe these people are thieves.

The machines in the big cities are corrupt.

The UK's best pollster wrote this morning that the election was clearly stolen as it is impossible to imagine that Biden overtook Obama in some of these states.

Wherever it mattered, they stole what they had to steal. "

.... Where it mattered, they stole what they had to steal.

The tweets do not actually contain any new information, except that the Republicans continue to insist on the allegations.

Monday will therefore be exciting to see how things really go on and what the courts have to say about the allegations.

In Munich they also celebrate Joe Biden's victory.

However, there are also incidents here.

So Trump was "hanged", as reported by tz.de *.

US election 2020: Trump threatens wave of charges after term of office - does he not want to accept defeat because of this?

Update from November 8th, 1:10 p.m.:

After a true counting marathon,

Joe Biden,

the

46th President of the USA, was confirmed

on

Saturday

.

The democrat will be sworn in on January 20, 2021.

One who has still not been able to accept his defeat is the incumbent President

Donald Trump

.

Certainly one has seen numerous scandals by Trump in the four-year term in office.

However, only very few could imagine that the 74-year-old would cling to his office in such a way and throw conspiracy theories around to this extent.

But if you believe experts, there is a specific reason why

Trump finds

it so difficult to

leave

his office.

"The likelihood that Trump will be prosecuted is pretty high," the law professor and former New York prosecutor

Bennett Gershman is

quoted

on

spiegel.de

(article behind the pay barrier).

Trump could be charged after his term in office - his immunity then no longer applies

The

New York Times also

reports that Trump has expressed concerns to his advisors that he

will be charged

in the event of defeat

.

Because as soon as Trump's presidency ends, his

immunity

will also be

lifted

.

In fact, his concern is not entirely unfounded.

During Trump's tenure,

Paul Manafort

, his ex-campaign leader, and his personal lawyer

Michael Cohen

, two of Trump's ex-employees, went to jail.

Former chief strategist

Steve Bannon

has also been charged with fraud.

According to the

Spiegel

report, Trump could

face

trouble over the

Russia investigation

into the 2016 election.

Ten cases against him were examined there - but the indictment was not based on his function as

US President

.

That could change in January of the new year.

The report also says that he is also being investigated in Trump's hometown of New York.

Certain business practices of the 74-year-old are being investigated there from before his presidency.

Update from November 8, 4.35 a.m.:

After the first two

tweets

, the feed of incumbent President

Donald Trump

has become quiet.

That's why his son Donald Jr.

very active for hours and retweeted unsubstantiated allegations of election fraud.

He also insulted a journalist as a "clown".

Donald Trump makes false claims again - he does not recognize defeat

Update from November 8, 1:06 a.m.:

After

returning to the White House

, Donald Trump

falsely declared

himself

the election winner

on

Twitter

and made allegations of election fraud, which he did not substantiate with evidence.

There

should be no

official statement

, at least as planned, on Saturday (local time).

So far, he does not acknowledge

his

defeat

, and so far there should not have been

an invitation for Joe Biden to the White House

.

The incumbent president usually greets his successor there.

However, thanks to his time as Vice President under Obama, Biden should be very familiar with the premises of the White House.

2020 US election: After losing the election - Trump returns to the White House

First report from November 7th:

Washington DC / (USA) - Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon in the USA:

Joe Biden

*

is proclaimed the winner of the 2020 US election by numerous media.

Thousands of people flock to the streets celebrating Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' victory.

But one person remains silent - and that is the incumbent US President

Donald Trump

*

.

Immediately after the US broadcaster CNN announced his defeat,

Trump

* held

a press conference.

His lawyer Rudy Giualiani, the former mayor of New York, repeated the allegations of fraud against the

Democrats

*

.

He himself was on the golf course.

There he was spotted taking selfies with a bridal couple - as if nothing had happened.

US election 2020: what is Donald Trump's strategy?

Observers suspect that the immediate environment was already influencing

Donald Trump

here

.

Only in the past few days had he had an emotional outburst and there were increasing signs that he did not want to accept the impending defeat.

His lawyers also seem to be working to ensure that the counting of votes is counted differently.

Trump had already announced that he

wanted to go to

the

Surpreme Court

.

His lawyers have already filed lawsuits in several states.

After the 2020 US election: Will Donald Trump hold the traditional “concession speech”?

Since 1896 it has been a tradition in the USA for the losing candidate to congratulate his opponent on his victory and, by admitting defeat, clear the way for the next term of office.

So far there is nothing to indicate that

Trump will

also

follow

this tradition of

concession speech

.

If his supporters stay with the fraud allegations, it should

not be easy

for

Joe Biden

and

Kamala Harris *

.

Will

Trump

*

cling to his power, possibly even paving the way for a possible successor?

Does he also pursue very personal interests by holding on to his office - because otherwise he is threatened with severe private cuts?

In the evening when CNN announced Biden's victory, anything seems possible - even that he quietly withdraws and leaves the next 70 days largely to his advisors.
