Nov 19, 2020 (Thessherald)–President Trump, who has been alleging voting irregularities, revealed this evening that there was a clear indication of voter fraud, as evidenced by the 20,000 dead people found on the Pennsylvania voter list.

“Evidence of voter fraud continues to grow, including 20,000 dead people on the Pennsylvania voters roll and many thousands all over the Country,” Trump alleged.

Adding that “now, there has been an artificial number of votes in favor of Joe Biden.”

Trump further claims that, “ thousands of uncounted votes discovered in Georgia counties. When the much more important signature match takes place, the State will flip Republican, and very quickly.”

Nov 10, 2020 (Thessherald)–The Incumbent President of the United States, Donald Trump, who recently failed to hit 270-threshold votes in the US election, is blaming the Coronavirus for undermining his efforts to secure a second term in the White House.

He also pointed an accusing finger at the US Food and Drug Administration for impeding and delaying in announcing a breakthrough in the Covid-19 vaccine as a way to deprive him of credit.

“The FDA and the Democrats didn’t want to have me get a Vaccine WIN, prior to the election, so instead it came out five days later – As I’ve said all along,” Trump Twitted on social media.

Trump claimed that if it were Joe Biden’s tenure, the administrative bureaucracy would have made it very difficult for vulnerable people to receive COVID-19 vaccines.

“If Joe Biden were President, you wouldn’t have the Vaccine for another four years, nor would the FDA have ever approved it so quickly. The bureaucracy would have destroyed millions of lives.”

Until now, Trump still believes that had it not been for the vote rigging in some US cities, he would have won by an overwhelming margin against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Europe’s leaders congratulate Biden-Harris on winning US election

Nov. 7, 2020 (Thessherald)–European leaders on Saturday congratulated US President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on their capturing the White House, as projected by major media outlets.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Twitter sent a congratulatory message to Biden and Harris saying: “We have a lot to do to overcome today’s challenges. Let’s work together!”

Angela Merkel, Germany’s first female chancellor, congratulated Biden as well as Kamala Harris, the “first female vice president,” her spokesperson said on Twitter.

“I look forward to working together with President Biden in the future. Our transatlantic friendship is indispensable if we are to face the greatest challenges of our time,” said Merkel.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also took Twitter to congratulate Biden and Harris on their “historic achievement.”

“The US is our most important ally and I look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities, from climate change to trade and security,” said Johnson, whose nation forms one half of the US-UK “special relationship.”

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo also said: “A record number of people have cast their vote in this election. This illustrates the vibrancy of the American political life and its democracy.”

Robert Abela, prime minister of the island nation of Malta, also congratulated Biden and Harris on their victory, adding that Harris “as first woman VP in the US – [is] so inspiring.”

“Congratulations to the American people and institutions for an outstanding turnout of democratic vitality,” said Giuseppe Conte, Italy’s prime minister.

“We are ready to work with the President-elect Joe Biden to make the transatlantic relationship stronger. The US can count on Italy as a solid Ally and a strategic partner,” he added.

While such congratulations from world leaders are standard, they carry added poignancy after nearly four years of defeated incumbent Donald Trump, who has strained US relations with most of its Western allies.

Trump has promised to challenge the race’s outcome, but messages to Biden by such major players as Britain and Germany also may put pressure on the outgoing president to concede.

Nov. 7, 2020 (Thessherald)–“I could not be prouder to congratulate our next President, Joe Biden, and our next First Lady, Jill Biden. I also couldn’t be prouder to congratulate Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff for Kamala’s groundbreaking election as our next Vice President.

In this election, under circumstances never experienced, Americans turned out in numbers never seen. And once every vote is counted, President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris will have won a historic and decisive victory.

We’re fortunate that Joe’s got what it takes to be President and already carries himself that way. Because when he walks into the White House in January, he’ll face a series of extraordinary challenges no incoming President ever has – a raging pandemic, an unequal economy and justice system, a democracy at risk, and a climate in peril.

I know he’ll do the job with the best interests of every American at heart, whether or not he had their vote. So I encourage every American to give him a chance and lend him your support. The election results at every level show that the country remains deeply and bitterly divided. It will be up to not just Joe and Kamala, but each of us, to do our part – to reach out beyond our comfort zone, to listen to others, to lower the temperature and find some common ground from which to move forward, all of us remembering that we are one nation, under God.

Finally, I want to thank everyone who worked, organized, and volunteered for the Biden campaign, every American who got involved in their own way, and everybody who voted for the first time. Your efforts made a difference. Enjoy this moment. Then stay engaged. I know it can be exhausting. But for this democracy to endure, it requires our active citizenship and sustained focus on the issues – not just in an election season, but all the days in between.

Our democracy needs all of us more than ever. And Michelle and I look forward to supporting our next President and First Lady however we can.”

Former President of the United States, Barack Obama.

Statement from Donald J. Trump

November 7, 2020 (Thessherald)– “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.

“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots.

This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room- and then fight in court to block their access.

“So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”

– President Donald J. Trump

Breaking: Joe Biden wins US election

November 7, 2020 (Thessherald)–Joe Biden secured enough votes in the US electoral college at 11.25am EST on Saturday and will become the next president of the United States.

The Democratic nominee crossed the 270-vote threshold by winning the state of Pennsylvania after a long and drawn-out counting process exacerbated by a large number of mail-in ballots.

It was a dramatic turnaround from early on election night, when Republican incumbent Donald Trump looked likely to sweep the race, taking the swing state of Florida. Mr Trump’s campaign is still set on a series of legal challenges over alleged irregularities in the electoral process in several states.

Mr Biden was also leading Mr Trump in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada, where votes are still being counted, but it was Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes that pushed him over the 270-vote threshold in the electoral college to win the presidency.Reacting to his victory, Mr Biden repeated his promise to work for all Americans.

“America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country,” the president-elect wrote on Twitter.

“The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.”

Trump’s Twitter account red-flagged for misinformation and hate speech

November 7, 2020 (Thessherald)–Donald Trump’s Twitter account has been red-flagged for posting baseless information and misleading content about the US elections as he lags far behind his opponent in the race for the White House.

Trump was accused of violating Twitter’s Civic Integrity Policy, which states that “You may not use Twitter’s services for the purpose of manipulating or interfering in elections or other civic processes.”

The 45th president of the United States blasted three social media giant companies for shielding behind Section 230 that protects them [Google, Facebook and Twitter] from potential lawsuits.

“Twitter is out of control, made possible through the government gift of Section 230,” said Donald Trump on Friday.

Under Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act of 1996, it states that there should be a shield for large social media companies from liability for the content posted on their platforms.

Amid allegations of irregularities in the election process, Trump has insisted that legal action be taken to recover stolen votes, a move rejected by Democrats on Thursday.

“I had such a big lead in all of these states late into election night, only to see the leads miraculously disappear as the days went by. Perhaps these leads will return as our legal proceedings move forward,” he claimed.

Observers described the ongoing presidential race as one of the chaotic elections in US history.

“If Biden somehow manages to win this election, you won’t see me again, I’ll simply leave the country,” said Donald Trump on Twitter.

“If Biden somehow manages to win this election, you won’t see me again, I’ll simply leave the country,” said Donald Trump on Twitter.

The Democratic Party nominee, Joe Biden remains optimistic – hoping to secure the top seat soon.

October 10, 2020 (Thessherald)–The United States President, Donald J. Trump, has claimed that his strong immune system had killed the virus shortly after testing positive for the coronavirus earlier last week.

“I am feeling much better. The doctors said they’ve never seen a body kill the coronavirus like mine. They said my body was made to kill virus’s,” said Trump on social media. They tested my DNA and they said it wasn’t DNA, it was USA.

Trump alleged that if his opponent Joe Biden had tested positive for coronavirus, he would have died seven times by now.

“They said if Joe Biden had the virus he would have died several times by now. They said there is no way anyone with a body like mine could lose an election.”

However, despite earlier announcement that the U.S. President is feeling much better, The Trump administration is under criticism from the public for consistently dodging questions on when Trump’s recent negative COVID-19 test was.

Asked when Trump was tested negative last, “I don’t want to go backwards,” replied White House physician Sean Conley in a brief statement to the media.
