In what he had billed as a “big announcement” at the White House at 2:22 am Wednesday, President Trump could have chosen to highlight some of what he had achieved in his race for reelection. He could have boasted about having won more popular votes this year than in 2016. He could have talked about his campaign giving Republicans a strong showing in U.S. Senate races, where the GOP has a good shot at retaining its majority.
Trump could have talked about flipping possibly as many as six Democratic seats in the House. He could have gloated about his impressive appeal to Hispanic voters, especially in Florida, and his having helped some women Republican candidates secure House seats.
Finally, the president could have scoffed at predictions by the media, pollsters, Democrats and even some Republicans that the election would produce a blue wave similar to that in 2018, or as Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas feared, “a bloodbath of Watergate proportions.”
Trump declined the opportunity to toot his own political horn. Rather, he falsely declared an election victory that he had not yet achieved and vowed to petition the Supreme Court to demand a halt to the counting of ballots - ostensibly to prevent “fraud” in late-counted mail-in ballots. This was the latest twist of an evidence-free narrative that the president has echoed in tweets for weeks.
Yet again, Trump accused Democrats - calling them a “sad group of people” - of trying to steal the election.
What Trump really meant was that he wanted the courts to help him exclude millions of valid mail-in and early votes from the Midwestern and other battleground states where the winner of the presidential race remained undetermined, but which seem likely to go to for former Vice President Biden.

I’m tired of people trying to get Trump to “be nice” after how he has been treated the last 4 1/2 years; we didn’t vote for “nice”.
This whole “COVID election” was carried out in the most haphazard fashion, and opportunities were presented for theft of an election. Start recounts now, and validate every ballot - there is roughly a month to certify results. The same pandemic excuse given for loosening the requirements can be used to justify a massive effort to ensure an accurate result.
I just wanted to see what the punchline was.
what the **** is it with these people who say if Trump was nicer or not as combative he would be more likable and wouldn’t be crucified by the mainstream media.
That’s a lie.
Who is Trump trying to win points with?
No matter what he does they’re going to **** him.
So he should just **** them right back.
Everybody’s got somebody, whether it’s some family member or some local tough guy at the bar or whomever that no matter how nice you are to them, they are going to hate you.
And eventually you wise up and stop acting the fool by being nice.
I love what Trump does. I want him to always be taking shots at his enemies and punching for 3 minutes each round.
That’s why I voted for him.

Judith maintains her position within the media and touts her self worth on the work and back of others... she’s no more than a leach ! I’ve personally seen her comment on issues that others have already solidified - but she props herself up there as if it was her own idea or is giving worth to someone’s work - just because she is saying it...
Perhaps had the Democrats not cheated, lied, and purposely committed voting fraud - all this would be mute.
Re-do of the 2000 election hanging chad catastrophe?
No..what is sad is you hacking for the dumblecrats.
This is naked theft. They don’t even bother to hide it well...
I would demand recounts and validation of every single vote as well as a court order to not reset any voting machine.
This is much worse.
Who the f*co is Judith Miller?
We are talking about the very survival of our nation and the biggest robbery in election history and all she can do is spewing out garbage about niceties?
What hole did she crawl out of and on what planet is she living on?
We won this election.
Trump set the Dems up. The real ballots can be identified. As can the fake ones.
Not only will we win, the criminals and foreign actors will be arrested.
Fox News like Drudge is aligned with the globalists in the post theft attempt to demoralize us.
Won’t work.
We won this election and these crooks won’t be around to try to steal another.
Women...
95 percent of the GOP is compromised and want Trump gone. Fortunately, they can't beat Rudy and Trump.
She has provided me yet another validation as to why I stooped watching Faux sPews 4 years ago.
Please.. That’s “LEECH”. :)
A fox colluder
Get rid of her.
Judith Miller,
Go f**k yourself with a pine cone.
Same to all you “Fox News Contributors.”
You are absolutely right....For one whether he gets it or not for one Fox is on my sh*t list. I’m tired of talking dummies. It’s Trump who showed the swamp and all their dingbats. Sponsors beware what networks you support as well. The silent majority will no longer be silents and join together take away the evil from our country.
Faux News...”We distort, you deride”
AMEN to that! Terrible mindset liberals (bullies) have.
