It looks as if Trump will win now

Trump took the USA out of the Paris Climate Change agreement, because he doesn't believe in climate change.

He also previously said "without the ballot, everything would be fine"

Erm, sorry Donald, it's not like the monarchy in that you stay in charge until you die, then your eldest child takes over.

Millions of dollars?

Oh, I hope Donald Trump doesn't get in for a second term! Not only is he a very dangerous man but he thinks he can change the rules to suit himself! Just looking at him gives me the creeps too, whatever did Melania see in him? ?

Still very close and some votes can’t continue to be counted until tomorrow?

I am pretty sure the president cannot have sole charge of the red button!! Nd trump would be just as much of a liability.

I always thought that the President did have total control of
‘The red button’ although any President would surely only go down that route as a reactive decision.

Courts..... nothing worse than a sore prospective loser....

Yes, Donald is certainly gracious in possible defeat!

If the results are close Trump will demand recounts so this could go on for a while before we find out who the new president is.

I find it terrifying that the Trump supporters are now out with their hand guns and assault rifles threatening to stop the counts in some areas.

I find the anti Trump brigade rather terrifying as well

Just what is going on in NY?

I’ve decided to come out and say a Biden win!???.

I reckon he’s going to get Pennsylvania.

Job done!

As Trump seems to be getting ready to involve the courts, I guess he thinks he's on a losing wicket.

Oh no Alishka I couldn't bear it if Trump wins; fingers and toes crossed that it doesn't happen. He has sunk to an even lower low, his behaviour since voting finished is disgusting. I wonder, if he won Pennsylvania, would he still say the counting of votes was fraudulent? The man is a complete embarassment; he has absolutely no morals.

I've been watching CNN live - can't get a fag paper between them.
Worrying times.

I agree with newnanny
Although there is much to dislike about Donald Trump as a person, his achievements as US President should be acknowledged.

Despite exchanging insults with Kim Jon Un Trump received an invitation to visit the leader, something no other President had achieved.

The US economy improved under his leadership.

I also think the doddery Biden would be a disaster, but it’s been said that his Vice President would be likely to take over should he win.

Somebody in the government has to say stop to the bullying and intimidation tactics.
He and his supporters are already winning by being allowed to behave like this without consequences.

Democracy is dead

Even if Biden gets the numbers (dont want to jinx it), the carrot will steal it.

How much trust is there in the vote counting?
I dont trust trumpers counting votes now are playing by the rules.

It is like the cheater accusing the spouse of cheating

I find it terrifying that the Trump supporters are now out with their hand guns and assault rifles threatening to stop the counts in some areas.

Compare a tired old man after a gruelling campaign with a slip of the tongue and an elderly bombastic egotist proven to have lied 20,000 times? Which is best?
Give me the tired old man with the excellent deputy every time.

I think Biden will win, but will be a lame duck president as republicans control the senate. Trump got over 3 million more votes than 4 years ago.

Although I think Trump is an unpleasant character I think he was a good president for USA. He is the first US president who did not get US involved in conflict in recent times. He has helped peace talks in middle East and even tried with Kim Jong Un. Before Covid the US was in good shape economically. Unemployment was low and wages had risen. He also does not let EU push US about.

I don't think he was a bad president. The ones that start start wars were far worse.

I think Biden is a liabilaty. He appears to be going senile calling Trump George and his own granddaughter his dead sons name. His wife keeps elbowing him when he makes mistakes. Not sure he is safe in charge of red button.

I heard on the radio this morning that, up until a date in the 19th century, it was expected that the loser in the US presidential election would be made Vice President.

Can anyone imagine what that would be like these days — Trump and Hilary Clinton 2016-2020, Trump and Biden 2020-2024?

They seem pretty (well totally) confident in the Biden camp.

Anyone seen or heard from a Trump recently?

He seems to have disappeared. Which reminds me, how many litigation cases against him are there btw?

But as you so rightly pointed out, this is about the US.

Biden currently has more than 3 million votes than Trump (as did Clinton).

Nothing odd about Head of State being elected by a minority,
it happens regularly in the UK. It’s the number of MPs that count, that’s the system

Have to laugh at Trumps decision any of Biden's wins are by fraud and he's getting lawyers on to it!! I suspected fraud when Trump got in - could have done with lawyers looking into fraud then!!
Trump is apparently not moving out of the White House, so i hope he and Biden will be happy ever after - Biden seems t need a nanny!
