Donald Trump, US President
“Don't talk to me like that. You're just a thin board drill. I am the President of the United States. Never speak to the President in this tone! Next question, please! "
After the president's outbreak, another reporter asked if Trump would leave the White House if the Electoral College elects Joe Biden as president.

“Of course I will. And you know that. But I think a lot will happen by January 20th. "
The statement that Donald Trump is ready to evacuate the White House is already being recognized as a small milestone in the media.
After all, he has so far vehemently refused to admit his electoral defeat.
In a press conference for Thanksgiving, Trump invited representatives of the US military from all over the world - and even representatives of his favorite space project:
Donald Trump, US President
"So now we're going to a place that has grown dear to my heart - the Space Force!"
Representatives of Space Force
"You don't see everyone in this room - but we want to thank you for this opportunity and Wish you and the First Lady a happy Thanksgiving. "
After the virtual military parade in the form of a video link, however, the incumbent president continued with the issue of electoral fraud throughout the press conference - and repeated his unfounded claims:

“There was massive fraud here. It should never have gone that way. We are like a third world country. And the whole world is laughing at our electoral process. The whole world is watching. And it's very sad. "
Since the November 3 election, Trump has spent most of the time on the golf course.
He and his advisors have spent three weeks challenging the election results by legal means - so far without success.
On December 14, it will be even tighter for Donald Trump - then the electorate in the individual states will vote and formally determine the next president.
What Donald Trump plans to do afterwards and how he wants to further mobilize his supporters, he leaves open:
Reporter
“Mr. President, if Joe Biden takes over the White House on January 20th, will you announce your candidacy for 2024?” Donald Trump, US President “No, I don't want to talk about 2024 yet. Because it's far from ... This is far from over. It's far from over. "
