Several television networks pulled away from Donald Trump’s first in-person remarks in 36 hours, as the president delivered a 17-minute tirade floating conspiracies and amplifying baseless claims of election fraud as thousands of votes are processed from the presidential election.
He has signalled a premature and illegitimate victory, while claiming Democrats have led a fraudulent effort to deliver late-arriving mail-in ballots that tipped the balance in his Democratic opponent Joe Biden’s favour. The president also railed against what he claimed are efforts to block partisan poll watchers from reviewing the ballot counts in Pennsylvania, which they have been allowed to do.
Moments into his remarks, he said, “If you count the legal votes, I easily win If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us.”
Networks had regularly cut from in-progress remarks during coronavirus briefings to avoid broadcasting the president’s false and misleading claims.

I cannot say that everything Trump has done since being elected is wrong or bad. That would be a false statement. That being said, we all know he isn't a good president in terms of unifying a divided nation. His foreign policies are somewhat second nature to me as I want our US soil protected, and our citizens cared for. That being said, he in no way conducts himself as the leader of our great nation should. He's less mature than my 6 year olds when he doesn't get his way.
