Trump Will Leave White House If Electoral College Votes For Biden

Donald Trump has confirmed that he will indeed voluntarily leave the White House should the Electoral College vote in Democratic president-elect Joe Biden. The president stopped short of conceding defeat, but this is the closest he has come since losing the Electoral College by 306-232.

So far, Trump has taken the rare route of refusing to concede defeat after a considerable Electoral College loss, instead choosing to continue his agenda on mass mail-in voter fraud and launch baseless legal claims to challenge the outcomes in several key states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania. However, any efforts by Trump or his staff to overturn results have so far been fruitless, with state legislators refusing to help or lawsuits being thrown out.

Now however, Trump’s stubbornness seems to be softening as he admitted to reporters on Thanksgiving that he would indeed depart the White House if Joe Biden was certified as the winner of the election by the Electoral College. However, it took reporters multiple attempts to get Trump to answer if he would leave and Trump said he would not be conceding even if Biden was voted in by the Electoral College.

“It’s going to be a very hard thing to concede because we know there was massive fraud,” Trump responded when asked for the first time if he would concede. Trump then had an uncomfortable back-and-forth with a couple of the reporters before finally admitting that he would leave the White House in such a case, before adding “if they do, they made a mistake, because this election was a fraud.”

“This was a massive fraud. This should never take place in this country. We’re like a third world country,” Trump said as he launched into a tirade.

“We have machines that nobody knows what the hell they’re looking at. You take a look at all the mistakes they made. Look at even Georgia. Look at all the mistakes they made, and all that was is a simple you press a button. Look at Georgia. All the votes they found just by going… And I said they shouldn’t even do it because it doesn’t mean anything. They’re doing a recount right now in Georgia that is meaningless.”

This week was the first time Trump had faced questions from reporters since election day at the start of November and at times it devolved into something more akin to an outright argument as the president called one reporter a ‘lightweight’ before telling him ‘don’t talk to me like that’.

“I think that there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20th of January, a lot of things. Massive fraud has been found. We’re like a third world country. We’re using computer equipment that can be hacked,” Trump continued.

“They talk about glitches. How many glitches did they find? A glitch, oh gee, we had a glitch, 5,000 votes. In all cases, right? In all cases, the votes went from Trump to Biden. They didn’t go from Biden. The glitches were never from Biden to Trump. They had many glitches, and they said, “Oh, we had a glitch.” A glitch is like the equipment is a little broken; we’ll fix it up.

“No, a glitch is, in this case, we caught them cheating, we caught them stealing, we caught a fraudulent effort to get votes, and they said, “Oh yes, it’s true, there was.” And there were many of them. But here’s the problem. There were probably 10, 20, 30 times that didn’t get caught. We just got lucky and caught numerous of them,” Trump said.

Despite the fact that Trump’s administration has already been given instructions to start the process of a formal transition, the president bemoaned his victor Joe Biden moving forward and making decisions as if he were to be president. Trump said that he believed that Biden was wrong for trying to pick a cabinet now, despite the fact that officials from both sides are already working together to adequately prepare Biden’s team.

“When you look at the massive discrepancy that we’ll be revealing, that’s already been revealed, everybody knows it, they just don’t want to play it. Between big tech and the fake news media, you just put out like this little railroad trade,” Trump said.

“Now, I think it’s not right that he’s trying to pick a cabinet, but I can’t imagine whether it’s courts or legislatures. If you’re going to catch hundreds of thousands of false ballots, and I’m talking in each state. Just so you understand, many, many more votes that we’re talking about that we need, you understand, I’m not saying we caught 23 dead people, but we were short 20,000 votes. No, no. We have tens of thousands votes more than we need in all cases.”
