Trump says Biden won but refuses to concede

It looked like Donald Trump had finally given in when he tweeted that Joe Biden had won the election, although it was rigged. But the whole media world leapt on his words and pronounced that the president had at last accepted that his Democrat rival had beaten him. I can just hear Trump's reaction to the headlines. "No, I didn't accept anything of the sort. I never said that. How could they say I said that?" Because in very short order he had tweeted again, this time saying the election was totally rigged and it was fake media who had declared Biden the winner and that he would never concede. Not ever. So totally back to square one. That must have been a huge relief to his supporters who have been gathering in their thousands in Washington to demonstrate their faith in him. It just shows how risky it can be to tweet at all. Once you have thrown a few words together and pressed send, it can't be reversed. It's done, the damage is there for all to see. I'm sure Trump will be more cautious from now on. He knows that every word he utters whether verbally or by Tweet is read, interpreted, reinterpreted, analysed and retweeted by millions. He definitely said what he said and then definitely rowed back furiously. The next time he dares to mention the election we will all be watching and waiting and reading and wondering.
