“As President-elect Joe Biden accepted congratulations from world leaders and a former president on Sunday, the man he defeated continued to deny the reality of a transition that was taking place despite his unwillingness to participate. President Trump traveled to his Virginia golf course for a second straight day Sunday, declining to concede the presidential race more than 24 hours after Biden had been declared the victor. As Trump continued to make conspiratorial allegations of voter fraud without providing any evidence, Republican officials and allies splintered between nudging him to accept defeat and encouraging him to fight.”
“The president appeared fixated on doing the latter, using social media to cast doubt on the election process rather than prepare for a peaceful transition of power. ‘Since when does the Lamestream Media call who our next president will be?’ the president wrote on Twitter. “We have all learned a lot in the last two weeks!’ Media companies have made projections of expected winners in presidential races for decades, including after Trump’s 2016 victory. For the fifth consecutive day, Twitter flagged several of Trump’s tweets as potential misinformation about elections as he made specious claims of vote rigging” – Washington Post.
