An extraordinary press conference from Trump, even by his standards, claiming he won the election easily. He has not taken one question from the press. He has not given one verified instance of fraud. This juvenile, grossly irresponsible claim could easily inflame tensions and violence. Historically, it's widely known that ballot papers take time to count and in a global pandemic there were always going to be more postal votes. It was widely known that Democrat leaning voters were more cautious about Covid-19 and were less likely to vote on the day.

Responsible Republican leaders should appeal to the public for calm and patience to let the officials and courts do their job.
