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.

Trump said say:

The only groups that you should expect to act in outlandish and inappropriate ways if the electoral college result does not go their way, is your friends on the left.

The media and other leftists are now spinning this headline as Trump falsely claiming that it’s up to him whether or not to leave.

But the false implication that leaving the WH after an EC defeat was a choice came from NOTHING Trump said.

It came from the reporter’s question.

And Trump’s response - “of course I will, but you know that” - basically refuted the reporter’s false implication that he had a choice.

So basically the correct headline should be:

Trump Refutes Reporter Who Implies He May Try To Stay In WH After An EC Defeat.

It does not work that way in congress. Constitution spells out exactly the procedure in congress to follow. And it is not up to the speaker of House to set up any different procedure.

People who refer to themselves as “we” are invariably 3rd string washouts.
