President Donald Trump broke his uncharacteristic silence yesterday during the final stages of the US election to affirm that he believes he will still “easily win”.
Despite claims that the US election has fallen prey to illegal voting yet being unverified, he appeared to continue that line of thought, suggesting there had been vote tampering and illegal counting.
To that end, the POTUS explained yesterday that if people ‘count the legal votes’ then he will emerge victorious over Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
Trump said: “In Georgia, I won by a lot, with a lead getting close to 300,000 votes on election night in Georgia and by the way you got whittled down and now it is getting to a point where I go from winning by a lot to perhaps being even down a little bit.
“To highlight some examples. A poll wrong on every occasion wrong, they were off by eight points and I won Florida easily, easily. They had me losing Florida by a lot and I ended up winning Florida by a lot.
“They had him up four points in Ohio, the great state. The Washington post 17 points in Wisconsin and it was basically even. They were off by about 17 points.”
Not only that, but Trump accused his Democratic rivals of trying to steal the US election through tampering with votes. We must stress that there’s been an absolutely no evidence to suggest this it the case.
Trump said: “People know what is happening and they have seen what is happening. Incidents reported shortly. A tremendous investigation going on and this is a case where they are trying to steal an election, to rig an election and we cannot get that happen.
“We think there is going to be a lot of litigation as we have so much evidence, so much proof and it is going to end up perhaps at the highest court in the land. We will see. But we think there will be a lot of litigation.
“I have a feeling judges are going to have to rule but there has been a lot of shenanigans and we cannot stand for that in our country.”
As things stand at the time of writing, Joe Biden holds the lead over Donald Trump with 264 electoral votes to Trump’s 214. The outcome will be decided by the votes registered in Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia.
