Trump Tries To Subvert Democracy With False Victory Claim
Speaking at 2:22 a.m., and with several key swing states still counting ballots, an angry President Donald Trump made the extraordinary claim that he had already won the election in the face of unspecified fraud.
“We were getting ready to win this election, frankly we did win this election,” he said from the East Room of the White House, in front of a cheering crowd and dozens of American flags.
With millions of votes still being counted, Trump claimed, “We were getting ready for a big celebration, we were winning everything, and all of a sudden it was just called off.”
