If realDonaldTrump believes, deep down, that he has any realistic prospect of serving another four years in the White House, he didn't act like it when he fronted the cameras on Saturday, writes US correspondent KnottMatthew

Trump didn't talk about the election at all, except for a moment where he appeared to be on the verge of acknowledging an incoming Biden administration. But he caught himself at the last moment, saying only: "Whatever happens in the future, who knows which administration it will be. I guess time will tell."

Trump, who relishes ad-libbing, largely stuck to his script about the development of a coronavirus vaccine. He left without taking any questions from reporters, a departure for a man who delights in sparring with the members of the "fake news".The reason for holding the press conference appeared to be two-fold. Firstly, to show the public that Trump is still fulfilling his presidential duties. And secondly, to claim credit for the eventual rollout of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Trump took shots at Pfizer for dissociating itself with his administration and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for criticising his vaccine strategy. But it felt pretty half-hearted.

realDonaldTrump KnottMatthew First public address in 8 days. Definitely not the act of someone being triumphant, rather, the display of a loser. Someone who has lost by a lot no less. No legacy with this loss.
