Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump called the refusal to recognize the victory in the election of the head of state of Democrat Joe Biden as revenge for an investigation into his ties with Russia in 2016. This is reported by CNN, citing a source from the president's entourage.
It is noted that Trump is aware of his loss, but deliberately postpones the process of transferring power to Biden. Thus, he wants to take revenge on the Democrats for initiating an investigation into Trump's collusion with Russia, which allegedly could lead to his victory in 2016. The American leader believes that this largely blurred the beginning of his presidency.
At the same time, the president is “healing mental trauma” from defeat, continuing to miss important events, in particular, the first briefing in six months by a special group to combat coronavirus. On November 20, Trump is to take part in the virtual APEC summit.
In April 2019, US Special Attorney Robert Mueller published a report stating that Moscow did interfere in the American electoral process, but suspicions about the connection between the Russian side and Trump could not be confirmed.
Earlier it was reported that Trump may try to change the results of the past presidential elections by persuading state legislatures when appointing electors. It is noted that Republican leaders of the Michigan legislature are due to visit the White House on November 20. They are ready to listen to what the president wants to tell them.
On November 3, 2020, the next presidential elections were held in the United States. The counting of votes and the proceedings on this issue are still ongoing. According to the media, the candidate from the Democratic Party of the United States, Joe Biden, received the necessary number of electoral votes to win, thus beating Trump. He has already proclaimed himself US President-elect. Trump, in turn, said that Biden was quick to call himself the country's new leader.
