Donald Trump's closest Wall Street ally Blackstone billionaire Steve Schwarzman tells president to give up doomed legal fight and says 'country should move on'

Steve Schwarzman, the billionaire businessman who's been a long time supporter of Donald Trump's, now says the election is over and the president needs to move on in a sign of dwindling support for Trump's doomed legal battle.

In the immediate aftermath of the election Schwarzman, the CEO of the Blackstone Group, defended the president's right to pursue legal battles and told the business community Trump had the right to pursue all avenues.

But now he's recognizing Joe Biden's victory.

'I'm a fan of good process,' Schwarzman told Axios. 'In my comments three days after the election, I was trying to be a voice of reason and express why it's in the national interest to have all Americans believe the election is being resolved correctly. But the outcome is very certain today, and the country should move on.'

'I supported President Trump and the strong economic path he built. Like many in the business community, I am ready to help President-elect Biden and his team as they confront the significant challenges of rebuilding our post-COVID economy,' he added.

Seriously.. we need to tabulate EVERY single person with current or former positions of power who are urging Trump to fold.

THEY DONT WANT THE TRUTH coming out for some reason.

I no longer buy the argument that we must maintain public trust in the process... because it’s obviously already gone!!!

Best bet is to find the pockets of real America that still exist and move there and forget politics.
It’s over if they succeed in cheating Joe in.

Of course they are telling Trump to give up! The evidence is mounting that there has been illegal counting, statistical anomalies and witnesses being threatened. That means the opposition to Trump is squirming and Trump is being THREATENED TOO!

ALWAYS the Republicans who must move on!!!! NEVER the democrat!

Bush v Gore was ONE STATE!... and went on for 37 days!

We have over 8 states with obvious fraud now sitting at 2 weeks?

They do not want this going to court.

See Stacy Abrams . I think she never conceded

“You see, I’m supposed to say nice things and accept my fate. They will complain that I should not use this moment to recap what was done wrong or to demand a remedy,” she said. “And I will not concede because the erosion of our democracy is not right.”

Not sure why that keeps floating around. Tilt-o-Meter site says 77 deaths in Texas yesterday and only 24 in El Paso County. Weekend data is usually slower but I doubt it is that much higher. Seems like the whole state of Texas has been averaging 150 per day.

Trump doesn’t need their money or backing. He just needs the lawyers and courts to do what they do. All else is hand wringing.

If people think they can push Trump into giving up, they don’t know Trump. He’s made a fortune proving everyone else wrong. And won his first election that way. He doesn’t know the meaningof “quit.”

And. Neither. Should. We.

To the doubters: stfu.

And I’m being nice.😁

A billionaire’s life does not change no matter who is president. Neither does a Republican congressman or Senator. They all still have their seat at the trough er table.

...dwindling support for Trump's doomed legal battle.

Gee, why do you sound so worried, DailyMail, if the legal battle is, as you say, "doomed?"

So I will say this to you.

Don Jr is saying what L Lin Wood is saying about refusing to vote is crazy and counterproductive

You should think why Don Jr may be saying it...because I would bet money that Trump really believes Kemp is dirty

Trump does not want to alienate the machine..for whatever reason.
