WH2020 passes another milestone making Trump’s effort to discredit the results even more challenging – Safe Harbour Day

WH2020 passes another milestone making Trump’s effort to discredit the results even more challenging – Safe Harbour Day

Tuesday was “Safe Harbour Day” Tuesday saw another important key date for Donald Trump as he desperately tries to deny the results of the presidential election and somehow cling onto power. For it was what is known as “Safe Harbour Day” which last became an issue at WH2000 when Bush squeezed victory over Gore following the very tight race in Florida. NBC News explains it in this way: The Electoral Count Act was passed in 1887, after four states sent…

A Trump branded TV channel being by the end of next month?

A Trump branded TV channel being by the end of next month?

I expect on the day of Biden’s inauguration Trump will do something spectacular, whilst I wouldn’t rule out Trump nuking Iran just before power transfers to Biden, I do expect something political. One of these things might be Trump announcing his intention to run for the GOP nomination in 2024 but if he might (also) announce plans for a Trump television channel. You can imagine Trump ranting about the fake news, lamestream media that hasn’t investigated Biden’s cheating, so that’s…

Screen grab ABC news A month after the presidential election in the US in which the controversial President failed to secure a second term a big issue now is whether he’s going to sack his Attorney-general, Bill Barr who until this week has been a staunch Trump loyalist.

History isn’t going to be kind to Trump because of the manner of his departure

History isn’t going to be kind to Trump because of the manner of his departure

The term “Trump” will be used forever to describe a poor loser Trump’s continuing denial of the outcome the 2020 Presidential Election looks set to continue right through to January 20th when Joe Biden will be inaugurated. No doubt there will be more antics from the White House in the weeks that remain but all the avenues that he’d sought to overturn the result appear to be blocked. This isn’t surprising. For really it was quite ridiculous for his team…

There has been no concession by Trump and I doubt if we will see one. But surprisingly for UK punters the Betfair market on the election remains open – the total…
