The US presidential election happened on 3rd November. Incumbent President Trump to this date and to the best of my knowledge has still not conceded victory to president-elect Joe Biden. Well lets not forget that Hilary Clinton won the popular people's vote in the last election and Trump only got in due to the electoral college system. This time however, the electoral college system didn't vote in his favour and Joe Biden won more electoral college seats. These results have been certified. President Trump's pursuit of legal cases to change the results have not succeeded mainly because everyone else can see through them for what they are: "trumped up" is a very appropriate term under the circumstances. I don't know what trickery and machinations are left for Trump but I think he will do all he can to subvert the results, so it is not all over. In the meantime, he continues to be obstructive and only allow the cogs of government to conduct the most legally basic forms of transition. This is actually damaging the US and will affect the ability of Biden's government to get started tackling all of the many and extensive problems his administration will unfortunately inherit from the failure and frankly, the joke that has been the Trump presidency. Not least actually addressing the Covid-19 pandemic response instead of denying and obfuscating it.
