Donald Trump is desperately fighting for power - even hours before the Electoral College's decision.

But two court cases are humiliated.

A judge bursts the collar.

  • Donald Trump

    continues to fight for victory in the

    2020 US election

    - but the

    incumbent US president's

    chances are

    dwindling.

  • At the weekend, two

    high courts

    literally humiliated the Trump team, including a verdict from a judge appointed by Trump.

  • The Electoral College is due to meet on Monday (December 14) to finalize the new election results.

    Challenger

    Joe Biden

    is expected to win

    .

Milwaukee / Washington

-

The

"Electoral College" * is to

meet

on

Monday

to finally determine the

new US President

.

Incumbent

Donald Trump

is still fighting the impending defeat - and

suffered

two crushing defeats in court

at the weekend

.

The reasons for the verdict were partly

equal to

a

humiliation

of the US president, who was desperately struggling for power.

Even a judge appointed by Trump gave a resounding slap in the face for the president's legal team.

With the developments in court, Trump's chances are falling further - from a human perspective, Joe Biden's election victory should become a fact on Monday.

Even if it will take a while before the

vote of the electorate is

announced.

Donald Trump: Judge appointed by the US President gives a resounding slap - "An incumbent who ..."

A

district judge appointed by Trump

clearly rejected

a

federal complaint by the US President

.

Judge Brett H. Ludwig

also did not allow any objection to the judgment - and his reasoning was unusually clear.

"This court gave the plaintiff the chance to present his arguments," wrote Ludwig, according to a report in the

New York Times

, "and the plaintiff lost on this matter."

The legal dispute was not about possible

election fraud

, but about the question of whether the

special corona rules

for voting in Wisconsin were

legal

.

Judge Ludwig drew a damning conclusion: "This is an exceptional case," the

Times

quoted

from the judgment, "a current president who has failed with his re-election intentions seeks a federal court for help to undermine the election result with the help of doubts about administrative decisions he undoubtedly could have argued before the election. ”Trump demanded that the

laws be obeyed

- that is exactly what happened.

Donald Trump receives embarrassing defeat in Wisconsin - judge ruled: "This is not about election fraud ..."

It got even more embarrassing for Trump in the

Wisconsin Supreme Court

.

There

judge Jill Karofsky

made

the point of view of the court clear in drastic words.

"What you want is to overturn this election so that your king retains power," she held

before

Trump attorney James Troupis

in a virtual hearing on Saturday: "This is so un-American!" The request is "not normal" and an

attack to a legitimate choice

that did not produce a single case of fraud.

Karofsky also raised

accusations of racism

against the

Trump team

, as reported by the

Huffington Post

,

among others

.

The two

counties of

Wisconsin *

targeted by the lawyers

are the "most urban, non-white, largest" constituencies.

They were apparently chosen because of their "diverse populations" and because they had voted democratically.

"This lawsuit, Mr. Troupis, has the taste of racism," said the judge.

In this case, too, Trump's lawyers had

criticized

the

postal ballot *

- they were nevertheless not only used in the affected areas, but throughout the state.

"This case is not about electoral fraud," said Karofsky. "This case is not only about sowing doubts about a legitimate election, but also about watering and nourishing it".

2020 US election: Electoral College will decide on Monday - Trump defiantly gives himself up to Fox News

Trump

was defiant on Sunday.

"It's not over," said Trump in an interview broadcast by Fox News on Sunday.

There are still "several local cases" in states in which his lawyers have taken action against the election result.

Previously, Trump had also lost a

lawsuit in the Supreme Court

*.

The

US president also continued his campaign for alleged - but never proven - election fraud

on

Twitter

.

MOST CORRUPT ELECTION IN US HISTORY!

, the winner gets all the votes from the local electorate. According to the certified results,

Democrat Joe Biden has

306 electors and 232 Republican incumbent Trump. The result will be officially announced in Congress on January 6th. (
