Bang on Dutch. That is what is coming next week. Let's see how strong American democracy is, when he loses by 10% of the vote and refused to accept it.
What is even worse in all of this is that if/when Trump loses he still remains in office for 11 weeks!!
The opinion polls would have to be out by historically unprecedented amounts for Trump to even stand a chance of winning. But I will guarantee you, there is no way he is admitting defeat on Tuesday night. This is likely to get very, very ugly.

Yes its not ideal to have an outgoing President in a position to continue to "rule" and have the nuclear codes ready to deploy . I am sure there are lots of steps to keep that under control - BUT there are people pointing out that Trump can do almost anything he wants including pardoning himselfI read an article where he Tweeted he "could Pardon himself - but why would I because I have not done anything wrong". However with the legal Constitutional experts split on exactly what is and what is not possible - if he does get voted out he may well decide he MIGHT have done something wrong and do it anywayhttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/12/can-trump-pardon-himself/578074/
He has claimed victory this morning. The votes are still being counted. Who the hell does this man think he is. USA’s 1st Dictator. Thinks he can do whatever he wants. This man needs stopping now as he is a danger to Democracy and to the World.I say this as someone who is no supporter of the Democrats as i don’t think Biden will be good for the American economy and that would not be good for the UK imo.
It's looking increasingly likely that Biden will win Arizona and Nevada, which will give him the 270. He might also get Georgia too, Trump's lead is shrinking at an alarming rate.
