In a sharp reversal of earlier comments to reporters, President Trump on Friday said that he'll only leave the White House if Biden can prove the election wasn't fraudulent.
"Biden can only enter the White House as President if he can prove that his ridiculous “80,000,000 votes” were not fraudulently or illegally obtained," tweeted Trump, adding "When you see what happened in Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia & Milwaukee, massive voter fraud, he’s got a big unsolvable problem!"

President Trump took questions from reporters on Thursday evening for the first time since Election Day. And after confirming a few days ago via Twitter that he would tell the GSA to formally begin the transition process, the president confirmed to a group of MSM journalists that he would formally surrender power to Biden should Trump's rival win the Electoral College vote.
During the scrum, Trump took about 25 minutes to rehash a series of allegations his legal team has so far made while saying flatly that Biden couldn't have done as well as he did without "fraud".
Reporters of course leapt at the opportunity to ask all kinds of salacious questions: Trump was asked if he’d physically leave the White House if the Electoral College affirms Biden’s victory - Trump replied "certainly I will, and you know that.”
After a round of antagonistic questions, Trump started lashing out at various states for dropping the ball and ruining his chances at a second term, while reiterating that this was "a rigged election...at the highest level".
Trump slammed Georgia’s Republican secretary of state - who penned an op-ed slamming Trump and his supporters - as an “enemy of the people.” He added that he would soon stage a rally in Georgia, where voters return to the polls in early January for a pair of runoff Senate races that will determine control of the Upper Chamber.
Finally, Trump repeatedly returned to questioning Joe Biden’s raw vote total, insisting the Democrat couldn’t have done so well as compared to previous Democratic candidates, although population growth historically drives growth in voting numbers while 2020 led to a particularly charged political atmosphere.
“This is not a candidate that can get 80 million votes,” he said of Biden. “The only way he got 80 million votes is through a massive fraud.”
Trump declined to say if he’d attend Biden’s inauguration, as is the custom for an outgoing president. “I’ll be honest, I know the answer, but I just don’t want to say it yet,” he said, before adding that it's "not right" that Biden has already started picking his cabinet.
Both Trump and Biden stayed close to home for the Thanksgiving holiday. The inauguration for Biden (assuming he does win the EC) would take place on Jan. 20.
If I’m not mistaken, there are 130,000 votes in either Michigan or Wisconsin, that showed up out of nowhere and there seems to be a question if there are actual ballots associated with them. Yes/No?
Trump has built a prima facie case that the election was conducted fraudulently.
Now Biden must rebut it.
President Trump is right.
The POTUS plays the pravda media like a fiddle....LOL
There are vote dumps all over the place, most of which are 90/10 % min in Bidens favour....which considering Trump was winning all day 60/40 ...is insane.
THAT’S MY PRESIDENT!!!
We must win this herculean fight to save our Republic and defeat our arrayed enemies!!!
There is no alternative!!!
600,000 votes in Pennsylvania:
See expert testimony:
The election process was intentionally opaque, and the results cannot be verified. It was meaningless.
Great to see the President laying down the rules and setting to standard that Biden must meet. Otherwise, President Trump has every right to remain in the White House and our nation has an obligation to make sure he remains our president long after January 20th.
For Biden, if it can be proven that just one illegal vote was cast for him, he will be disqualified as a candidate.
insane times, we’re living in.
Orders from POTUS to focus our energy just went out, hope everyone is listening...
And 700,000 extra votes in PA, 670,000 of which went to Biden.
AVE CAESAR! Do not surrender!
Bro your second paragraph was the most ridiculous thing I’ve read on here in a long time.
I am very excited that Trump announced this. It is not business as usual. This is for all the marbles. Because we are in a war.
But saying crazy things doesn’t help.
Good God, I love this man!
Trolling ‘the great pretender’. Judas Joe won’t be affected due to his mental state, but I’m sure Jill, the wannabe-first-lady, will be huffy.
YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a signal that President Trump has the backing of the United States military. He will NEVER allow communist China to install puppet Biden to take over the USA.
This is very big.
President Trump is throwing down on California and New York.
sleepy Joe MUST prove those legal vote counts!
Who has the burden of proof? The candidate who “won” or the candidate who claims the win was based on fraud?
What is the legal standard and who decides?
Is a certification based on fraud valid? What happens if states do so?
If Biden is certified and has enough EVs he will become Potus, but the legal fight over fraud will not stop. What if those allegations are ultimately proven to be true (weeks or months later) - what is the remedy then?
Since the constitution provides no way to remove a President that won fraudulently, either we are stuck with the result for 4 year or until he is impeached.
Since this is the case, there IS a compelling argument for NOT certifying election results when there are credible allegations of fraud: Following the constitutionally-prescribed process when neither candidate has a majority of electoral votes.
Thus there is a solution. Only if a candidate who won through fraud is allowed to take office does the problem become “unsolvable”.
And with his statement, liberal minds melt lol.
Watch the left best their chests and declare that they will force him out by using the military. Of course they have already said that, but watch CNN and Ilk hammer on and on about it now
