Trump asked if he is 'sore loser' by CNN reporter Jim Acosta after baseless rant

about election fraud

Donald Trump was asked if he is a “sore loser” on Thursday night after the president’s 17-minute rant about being “cheated” out of an election victory – by a reporter who has been involved in multiple spats with Mr Trump in the past.

CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta directed the question at Mr Trump’s turned back, after the president walked off without taking any follow-ups from the assembled media. Acosta twice called out, “Are you being a sore loser?” before Mr Trump disappeared down a corridor.

In the briefing, announced at short notice, the president claimed the election had been “rigged” against him, again raising doubts over the mail-in ballots which are contributing to delays with the results. Mr Trump and Mr Biden remain neck-and-neck, though the Democrat has said he believes he is winning.

Claiming that there was “no blue wave”, Mr Trump said: “We won by historic numbers. And the pollsters got it knowingly wrong, they got it knowingly wrong. We had polls that were so ridiculous and everybody knew it at the time. There was no blue wave that they predicted.”

With trump, I think it's part of his mental illness that he's delusional and doesn't see reality.

Rudy is with him at the WH. Trump is having trouble understanding he was losing.

Ben Ginsberg, Republican Attorney said his lawsuits are baseless. He asked the Surpreme Court to make them separate that ballots that were received after Nov. 3rd. The PA Attorney General said they were already doing that.

Melania is at MarA Lego. Wonder why?

Some bad people might treat him badly. But he always wins. Politics, golf, business, relationships, he's the best.

I almost hope he gets psychiatric help. Almost.
