Trump needs to 'stop recklessly claiming' he's been beaten out of a win

05/11/2020|12min

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says he hopes Donald Trump will stop “recklessly claiming” he’s been beaten out of a win, because “I can’t see any evidence of fraud” and Democracy must win. “I hope Donald Trump will leave the White House with dignity. I hope he will leave office without trashing faith in democracy. I hope he will stop recklessly claiming he's been cheated out of a win,” Mr Bolt said. Mr Bolt said as the results currently stand, it is almost certain that Joe Biden will become the next president of the United States. He said Trump “shook faith” in America’s democracy with an “explosive claim, with no proof”. The President on Wednesday morning said on he had won the election but the Democrats were going to cheat him of his victory. “Americans and Australians have got to back off this hyper partisanship, where there only thing that counts is that your side wins,” Mr Bolt said. “Here, democracy must win. Faith in democracy. “And democracy is not just a system when people choose their own leaders. It is also a system where leaders agree to leave peacefully when their time is up. “I cannot see the evidence of fraud, enough to change the election result.” Mr Bolt said what was really at play was Trump’s great vanity which prompted him to look for a excuse to justify his losing. “He needs his supporters to think he was robbed - not beaten,” Mr Bolt said. “That's also because he wants them to feel a rage that will motivate them to get behind any political plans or media empire he has in mind for the next four years. “That's good for Trump. “But it's not good for democracy.”
