STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.

Trump is most likely to be awarded a second term after Tuesday. Here are the reasons from least to greatest, with a single caveat:
1. The mainstream media has much less power to influence than it had four years earlier. Clever sophistry has devolved into outright and outlandish lies and omissions. With recent attempts to cover up or brush aside provable facts of corruption connected to Joe and Hunter Biden, CNN, MSNBC, et. al. have lost any last trace of journalistic credibility. Most polls are sponsored or otherwise connected to mainstream media.
