Trump says he’ll leave if Electoral College seats Biden

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will leave the White House if the Electoral College formalizes President-Elect Joe Biden’s victory — even as he insisted such a decision would be a “mistake” — as he spent his Thanksgiving renewing baseless claims that “massive fraud” and crooked officials in battleground states caused his election defeat.

“Certainly I will. But you know that,” Trump said Thursday when asked whether he would vacate the building, allowing a peaceful transition of power in January. But Trump — taking questions for the first time since Election Day — insisted that “a lot of things” would happen between now and then that might alter the results.

Such defeatism is unbecoming.

Keep drawing them in.

Then strike when they believe their victory is sure.

We listened for OURSELVES, and he did not whatsoever use that wording in context! He had both hands up toward victory, stating that we know “Fraud is widespread.” Separate from his legal team file

It should not be if the electoral college on Dec 14 selects Biden. You have many states that are rushing through their certifications even though the state legislatures want to hold hearings. so it could come that electors are chosen though the state legislature objects. It isn’t until the electors vote are opened in Congress on Jan 6 that counts. Then all it takes is 1 senator and 1 congressman to object to a states electors. It may end up that those electors won’t be seated. If nobody gets the 270, then it goes to a vote in the House which Trump will win. So Trump should clarify that if Congress certifies the electors votes on Jan 6, he will leave.

Correct! They cannot parse words more. The teams are separate, so they can not go after him directly with “Russia, Russia Russia” garbage. It was a warrior, hands held high onward speak!

And patience and tact he used simultaneously. Before coming to the point of hauling these arrogant questions/ers out for obstruction. THEY ARE THE ONES OF OBSTRUCTION FOR FIVE YEARS.

Trump was so Strong & True in his Presser today. It gave all of us so much continued hope to work through all the fraud. I'm still baffled at how one reporter referred to Biden as "President Elect". My Gosh reporters are the most clueless new breed of bias.

That sums it up. I keep hoping there is enough evidence to change the results.

Not allowing republicans to watch and throwing them out is huge I would think. Rudy just showed a very small part of what he has.

Trump shouldn’t clarify anything giving a road map to the ENEMY. He will win... well before the timeline.. far more than 270, and Biden will properly lose due to FRAUD.

Amen! I, too, believe that Trump is God’s man. I’m also praying to see His mighty hand reveal His Truth which is The Truth. That Truth includes Nov 3rd election results based only on legal ballots with the duplicate/multi-votes and all other fraudulent ballots excluded.

If Biden is inaugurated, he will be known as the Commander-in-Thief.

I hear you. Unkike many on here who get that Chris Matthews tingly feeling every time they read an “explosive” blog posted on hear that gives “undeniable” proof that the election was stolen etc.... I am a realist and grasp that most likely, Biden will be the next president.

The “House” always wins and the cards are stacked against him. The fix is in.

Is it all over? Not a chance in hell. He will fight and continue to fight because like most on this board, he knows whats at stake.

But people have to be real and the odds are slimmer by the day that he will be reinaugurated. It sucks, but it’s the facts and reality on the ground that we have to deal with.

I’m not holding my breath on krakens and obscure executive orders.

My gut tells me that Trump will get a small victory in one of his legal fights in SCOTUS, Perhaps in PA, but not enough to swing the election his way.

Good point.

Also, President Trump is unlikely to lose the electoral college, because it is highly likely that truth and justice will prevail. The preponderance of evidence is unquestionably on his side, and also the Republicans have more state senators.
