US election: President Donald Trump vacillates between madness and anger

Donald Trump announces a peaceful handover, but continues to spread absurd theories. Is he working on his own stab in the back legend?

Americans actually celebrate Thanksgiving with their families.
Donald Trump urged on
holiday in public. And he was brushed on riot. “Don’t talk to me like that!” He snapped at correspondent Jeff Mason, who is well known in journalistic circles: “You are a lightweight. I am the president of the
United States!“

However, this statement is only valid for six weeks – and Trump can no longer accept the reality. For the first time since the November 3rd election, he answered questions from journalists on Thursday. “That was a rigged choice. One hundred percent, “he claimed, and talked about” massive fraud “. When Mason dared to ask for receipt, Trump was pissed off. He berated the reporter wildly and cut him off.

Donald Trump’s wave of lawsuits against the US election remains unsuccessful

It is true that the elected president later responded to the question of whether he would peacefully evacuate the White House if the electoral college won
Joe Biden Sealed: “I will certainly do that.” Before that, however, he emphasized that the electorate would then make “a mistake”. Biden “never got 80 million votes”. “Windy officials” and “public enemies” in Pennsylvania and Georgia had manipulated the result. With this unfounded assertion, Trump also justifies the wave of lawsuits that he has initiated – so far unsuccessfully. Of the 39 proposals, 38 were rejected by the courts or not accepted at all. The Republicans are now holding public bogus hearings on alleged election rigging.

“I think a lot will happen between now and January 20,” said Trump, contradicting any thought of giving in. In fact, according to the constitution, he still has seven weeks in office. The electoral committee meets on December 14th. There Biden seems to have a majority of 306 votes of the 538 votes. The result will be officially counted in the presence of both chambers of the US Congress on January 6th. Two weeks later the inauguration of the new president takes place.

Is US President Donald Trump pardoning himself?

Trump should not only use the remaining time to pardon political companions and possibly himself. He should also do everything possible to stir up further doubts about the legitimacy of the election and to delegitimize the Biden presidency. On Friday night he tweeted: “I won!”

“Trump vacillates between delusions and the furor of averting his massive experience of defeat,” analyzed Tony Schwartz, ghostwriter of Trump’s successful book “The Art of the Deal”: “He has become pathetic”. In fact, rational and irrational motives seem to mix in Trump’s denial of reality. For the former reality TV star, it makes perfect sense to keep his person in conversation and the Trump show going. This secures donations for him and gives him time to sound out his future role in the republican party, which he ties to himself through the stab in the back legend.

New York Times: “In the end, the president is chased by one word: loser”

His aggrieved narcissism is likely to play a stronger role. “In the end, the president is chased by one word: loser,” she analyzed New York Times on their front page. In it, the author Dan Barry traces how Trump in his professional career repeatedly tried to sell defeats with absurd lies as successes. In 1990, when his Taj Mahal casino opened in a rush with only a quarter of the slot machines, he claimed that the machines had gone up in flames because the guests had been playing so wildly. A year later, the casino went bust.

This moment threatens the President on January 20th. But he will probably never admit defeat. “That would be a very difficult thing,” confessed Trump.
