Trump tweets for the first time since loss, claims he won US election with 71 million votes

Shame, Trump is not having a good day. Joe Biden is the projected winner of the US Election and Trump’s use of ALL CAPS just makes him sound like a sore loser now.

The 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, took to Twitter earlier today and shared two tweets since losing the election to Biden. It’s clear that Trump considers the election far from over.

Donald Trump takes to Twitter

In the first tweet, he said observers weren’t allowed in counting rooms, despite NBC News visiting several counting facilities on 5 and 6 November, showing observers on duty.

Trump also claims that he “won the election, got the 71 000 000 legal votes,” and added that “bad things happened which our observers were not allowed to see, never happened before”. He concluded, in all caps:

“Millions of mail-in ballots were sent to people who never asked for them”. Needless to say, both Twitter and Facebook and flagged his posts in inaccurate.

Claims of voter fraud

Twitter added a disclaimer stating that “this claim about election fraud is disputed, along with a link to see the facts for yourself. In a second tweet, Trump simply reiterated:

“I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES”.

Facebook added a link to the Election Results, along with a disclaimer that reads: “Joe Biden is the projected winner of the 2020 US Presidential Election”.

Ladies and gentlemen and everyone on the binary, may we remind you that social media giants had to flag the president’s posts, the person who holds nuclear launch codes. But I digress.

US election ‘far from over’

In a longer statement following Biden’s win, Trump said the “election is far from over”, and that Biden was “rushing to falsely pose as the winner” because Biden and his “media allies” didn’t want that truth exposed.

He went on to say that Biden “has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts”. Trump added:

“In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.”

Trump’s rantings doesn’t change the fact that Biden was pronounced winner of the US presidency on Saturday 7 November, thus ending an era that convulsed American politics and shocked the world.
