'Since when did the Lamestream Media decide who the President is?' Trump doubles down on refusing to

President Donald Trump pushed out more unsubstantiated claims that the election was stolen by firing off a series of angry tweets Sunday, even as the vote count continued to move against him and Joe Biden shifted into transition mode.

The tweet from Trump came more than an hour after George W. Bush issued a message telling him the election's outcome was 'clear' and that it was held with 'fairness and integrity' and Chris Christie, one of the president's most prominent allies, said it was time for him to show evidence or 'move on.'

With his political options narrowing and his hold on power becoming more tenuous by the hour, Trump also blasted the media for getting to 'call' who will be the next president.

After the broadcast and cable networks all called the race for Democrat Joe Biden, the race entered a new phase, with Biden giving a victory speech and laying plans for the transition, even as Trump and his legal team prepared lawsuits and made accusations of fraud on TV without yet providing evidence.

I'm not giving up: Donald Trump saluted supporters waiting for him outside his Sterling, Virginia, golf club, after tweeting a message of defiance to the TV networks and Associated Press calling the election for Joe Biden. Biden's lead in Pennsylvania is now above 44,000

NEVER in my life have my lips made that shape while speaking or trying to speak

The ONLY they've ever made that shape is when I made fish lips at my kids when they were like 3 or 4 years old!

1) No one has EVER said the media determines the winner
2) EVERY election, the media DOES project or "call" a winner based upon % splits, # of votes counted, # of votes remaining, location of that # of votes remaining

But his #Cult45 sheep will lap up anything that falls out of his orange mouth
