Election 2020

Trump Attorney Freaks Out and Says We Mustn’t Call Biden ‘President-Elect:’ ‘Public Perception Matters!’

Well, as we’ve noted quite a bit in the last few days, our second-worst nightmare is coming true. Biden won by just enough that we’re in for six weeks of hearing about how he didn’t in fact win and that Trump won – obviously – and, of course, our regulars know exactly what we worry about.

For today, we’ll only note that these Trumpers refuse to give an inch or even act as though anything normal happened, as in a normal victory by a normal good man.

Jenna Ellis, one of Trump’s crazier blonde women attorneys is unhappy. She is sick of what she sees as an unfair perception being unleashed upon the American people – that Joe Biden won and is entitled to the normal title given to the person who won, “president-elect.”

They do not care that the media called Trump “President-Elect Trump” from the first couple days. They do not care that Joe Biden won by a bigger share of votes in contested states and won the popular vote by four million (or 3%), more so than Hillary. They know that perception matters and that every single day that the media talks about “President-Elect Biden” makes is that much tougher for them to convince you that Biden actually “lost” because Trump is Trump and Trump only wins – get it?

Jenna got some feedback, some helpful suggestions from Americans concerned about how she was handling all this:

He is a sore loser with a plan. Cast doubt over the entire election and ask state legislatures to step in – as readers here know.

Peace, y’all
