President Donald Trump is showing no signs of accepting reality and may never concede defeat. On Tuesday morning, The said that Joe Biden is “pretending” he won the election, and insisted that he was cheated of his “landslide victory”.
Trump’s comment came after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell acknowledged for the first time that Mr Trump had lost; the electoral college vote marking, for him, the end of Mr Trump’s hopes of clinging to the White House.
But Trump was still refusing to concede, insisting, without evidence, that there were “tremendous problems being found with voting machines.”
“They are so far off it is ridiculous. Able to take a landslide victory and reduce it to a tight loss. This is not what the USA is all about. Law enforcement shielding machines. DO NOT TAMPER, a crime. Much more to come!” he tweeted.
He also retweeted a conservative activist who said: “Election Status: Trump is in the process of proving he won, and Biden is pretending he did.”
As expected, Twitter users were quick to respond.
Election Status: Trump is in the process of proving he won, and Biden is pretending he did.

You lost in a historic landslide
You lost 55 law suits
You lost ‘the steal’
You’re a loser
A sore loser
The lamest lame duck
Biden is president

Trump seems to be an "expert" on voter fraud. Almost like he has firsthand knowledge of how it's done! Maybe it's time to investigate how he "won" PA, MI & WI in 2016?
What a joke that a man who TWICE lost the popular vote thinks he won in a landslide. Absolutely moronic.

Tight loss?
80 million to 74 million isn’t a tight loss.
