“We’ve already won” – Trump says he’s won and wants all vote counting to stop

“Frankly, we did win this election.”

Donald Trump has once again, without any evidence, pushed the accusation of “fraud” in the presidential election and declared victory in the election despite not having the results to reaffirm that.

He has described the election as a “fraud on the American public” and said he wants all vote counting to stop now.

“This is an embarrassment to our country,” he said.

Trump added, “We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election.”

He said that he wanted all voting to stop and said he plans to go to the Supreme Court.

Election officials in key swing states continue to count valid ballots, and that process could continue for days as the US counts an unprecedented number of absentee ballots.

“Most importantly we’re winning Pennsylvania by a tremendous amount of votes,” the president said at the White House.

Breaking the normal procedure, Donald Trump spoke from the White House on election night and  declared that “millions and millions” of Americans had voted for him but his opponents were trying to disenfranchise them.

“A very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise that group of people. And we won’t allow it,” Trump said.

Experts have said he has no evidence to back up the claims and suggested it’s an attempt to muddy the waters.
