Trump fans protest - but how many were there?

The US President once again feels like a “victim” of “Fox News”, which he praised not long ago.

  • Trump

    * fans have marched in Washington - in protest against

    Joe Biden's

    *

    election victory

    .

  • The nationalist

    “Proud Boys”

    were among the demonstrators

    .

  • Donald Trump * was

    celebrated by the demonstrators

    on the way to the

    golf club

    - and rushed against

    "Fox News"

    .

Update from November 16, 12.12 p.m .:

“I won the election!” With these words in capital letters,

US President Donald Trump

said goodbye

on Twitter into the night (local time).

He does not give up.

Shortly before that, he spoke again on Sunday about the

lawsuits

against the vote count, which are still planned - and promised great

things

: “Our big cases, which show the unconstitutionality of the

2020 elections

and the outrage about things that were done to bring about the result changes will be submitted soon! "

But official

election officers

, such as election observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, had already announced that there had been no signs of major

irregularities

.

So far, Trump has not had much success with his lawsuits.

Like some media

report, his lawyers have even toned down a lawsuit in the state of

Pennsylvania

themselves

.

Before it was deleted, the allegation was that the

constitutional rights

of observers from the Trump camp had been violated during the vote count.

Now it only means that

Republican

voters

were disadvantaged because in some places it was allowed

to correct

mistakes in

ballot papers

- mind you in some districts with a democratic orientation.

In

Pennsylvania, Biden leads

Trump

with

over 68,000 votes

,

according to

CNN

.

Many of the court cases being filed all over the country are not ours, but rather those of people that have seen horrible abuses.

Our big cases showing the unconstitutionality of the 2020 Election, & the outrage of things that were done to change the outcome, will soon be filed!

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 15, 2020

Trump even went a

step

further

in one of his many daily tweets

.

Those "who are responsible for upholding our

constitution

" should not allow "the fake results of the 2020 postal vote to endure".

By that he could mean the

US Supreme Court *

.

Meanwhile, ex-President

Barack Obama

also spoke up

.

"I don't think he will succeed in denying the reality," Obama told

NPR

radio

in an interview that was published in advance on Monday.

Especially the fact that Trump, his team and the Republicans are

hindering

a smooth

transfer of office

annoys Obama.

This is yet another example of "Donald Trump's disregard for basic democratic norms harms the American people."

US election 2020: Barack Obama criticizes Donald Trump in his memoir

Update from November 15, 8:10 p.m.:

On Tuesday, about two weeks after the

US election

, the former

US President Barack Obama published

his memoir.

Der

Spiegel

has now published the first sections of the book.

In it,

Obama

also

criticizes

Donald Trump who started his

political career by lying about him "I was not only born in Kenya, [...] but I am also a secret Muslim socialist and a 'Manchurian candidate', brainwashed and remote controlled, who was smuggled into the United States with forged documents and prepared from childhood to infiltrate the highest levels of American politics, ”writes Obama.

In addition,

Obama

describes

in the book a strange phone call his advisor made to

Donald Trump

.

After the explosion of the “Deepwater Horizon” oil platform, the oil in the Gulf of Mexico caused an environmental disaster.

Trump

called "out of the blue" David Axelrod,

Obama's

advisor.

Trump

suggested that they "should let him seal the hole".

But since the borehole was almost closed,

Trump

suddenly offered instead to build “a beautiful ballroom” on the White House property.

The

Obama administration

gratefully declined.

US election 2020: Trump fans protest against Biden's election victory

First report from November 5, 9:01 am:

Washington -

Trump fans

do not want

to admit

it - and on Saturday on the streets in Washington they demanded

"four more years"

for the incumbent US President, despite the election victory of his challenger

Joe Biden

from the US Democrats *.

Your "argument": alleged

electoral fraud

.

Donald Trump was there - and waved to his fans with a smile from his armored

limousine

.

How many pro Trump fans were there?

Assessments by observers and the media ranged from a few thousand to a good

10,000.

Trump preferred to

tweet

about "hundreds of thousands" and attacked

Fox News

in a tweet: The station does not show the massive gatherings, he complained, but instead places its reporters in "almost empty" streets - "We are now dealing with PRESS SUPPRESSION to do".

. @ FoxNews and the Fake News Networks aren't showing these massive gatherings.

Instead they have their reporters standing in almost empty streets.

We now have SUPPRESSION BY THE PRESS.

MAGA!

Trump's spokeswoman

Kayleigh McEnany even

spoke of a

million participants

on Twitter

, which was obviously grossly exaggerated.

The Trump administration had already started its term of office by exaggerating the number of participants when he was

inaugurated

in

January 2017

.

It has come full circle.

AMAZING!



More than one MILLION marchers for President @realDonaldTrump descend on the swamp in support.



Best base in political history - we LOVE you guys !!!

Trump fans oppose Biden's election victory: "Fox News are enemies of the people!"

Trump's convoy was on the way to a

golf club

in Freedom Plaza

during the protests,

where at least 10,000 fans greeted him with cheers.

"Fox News are enemies of the people!" One of the speakers shouted into the crowd.

The channel from

Rupert Murdoch's

media empire

was Trump's house

channel for a

long time - but recently moved noticeably away from him.

Trump had repeatedly referred to the media as "enemies of the people".

Various groups had called for the pro-Trump demos, including Enrique Tarrio, leader of the

nationalist "Proud Boys"

(

represented by a

good hundred

members

according to information from the

picture

) and the group

"Women for Trump"

.

Many participants in the demonstration did not wear masks as a protective measure against Corona *.

The incumbent of the Republican Party * has been speaking for days

without evidence

of alleged

election fraud

using postal voting * and accuses the Democrats of wanting to "steal" his election.

So far, the electoral authorities have not reported any major irregularities in a single US state.

On Friday, however, he seemed for the first time to

indicate

a

possible

relenting: The "future" will show who will rule the country in the future, he said in a

subordinate sentence

at a speech in the rose garden of the White House.
