President Donald Trump says he'll leave the White House if the Electoral College formalizes President-elect Joe Biden's victory, while insisting such a decision would be a mistake. Trump took questions on Thanksgiving for the first time since the election.

President Donald Trump speaks with reporters after participating in a video teleconference call with members of the military on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 26, 2020, at the White House in Washington.

Trump spoke to reporters in the White House’s ornate Diplomatic Reception Room after holding a teleconference with U.S. military leaders stationed across the globe. He thanked them for their service and jokingly warned them not to eat too much turkey, then turned to the election after ending the call. He repeated grievances and angrily denounced officials in Georgia and Pennsylvania, two key swing states that helped give Biden the win.

“I think it’s not right that he’s trying to pick a Cabinet,” Trump said, even though officials from both teams are already working together to get Biden’s team up to speed. As for the Electoral College, Trump made clear that he will likely never formally concede, even if he said he would leave the White House.

Trump is in dead space. Approaching a black hole.

linmp1031 Dec 13th? Hooray!

Diaper Don did a tiny desk interview- riveting!DiaperDon

Trump's departure is not negotiable. He's aware if he doesn't leave he'll be removed. Looking forward to Biden Harris taking office followed by Trump indictments.

He leave when the secret service drags his pathetic ass and his family out January 20 at 12:01 pm

Trump is the President of 🇺🇸 that’s all and the rest is gang wants to destroy America 👌🏼

Dump realDonaldTrump. Elections2020 over.

If the Electoral college did vote trump that would literally mean the death of democracy. Then the Russians really would have won. And it would all be trump and his supporters fault.

Is Donald Trump aware that the election is over and he lost electoral vote, he lost the popular vote for the second time; that Joe Biden is the President-Elect? Someone needs to tell him it is over and the nation is moving on.

No one cares what he thinks. He lost. He’s leaving by noon on January 20th. Stop giving him any oxygen.

He acts like he has a choice.

That's a very big IF. The lawsuits are not over.

Of course (below-average President) Trump will leave. Of course he will be replaced by (below-average president) Biden. Of course the only change for ordinary people will be that the media will pretend Biden is on our side instead of pretending Trump is Hitler. We lose.

BETTER START PACKING YOUR BAGS BIG FELLA!

Stop acting like he has a choice

Is this a bit like he’ll release his taxes if he wins the 2016 election?

DBChirpy What amazes me is that the is reporting on what should not be news. All Presidents have not only conceded and left the White House. ap has played right into narcissist ego game. Reuters AFP bpolitics wsj abc cbs nbc cnn foxnewsradio

The first time the One-Term, Russia-Installed POTUS has taken questions since his election loss.... ... And DiaperDon allowed himself to do a presser behind that TINY DESK? realDonaldTrump even tried to do his tough guy bit BEHIND THAT WHITTLE DESK!!! LOFL!!! GOP DNC

What else can he do ?!?

Hey kid, let me see your answers, I got none.

He will do what's necessary but ALL lawsuits need to be followed through to the end. We can not allow this perversion of our election. This isn't Cuba nor China!

Like, immediately?

When has Biden taken questions? 🧐

About his vaccine comment: Instead of pleading or hoping that Biden doesn’t mess up or change the rollout of the vaccines like any normal outgoing President would, Trump gets all pissy that Biden will possibly get credit for the vaccines instead of him. Unreal man

For those worried about this news, please know that in most states, it is illegal for electors to change the vote of the people. As distrusting as I am of the orange turd, I have exhaustingly researched this and it’s not possible.

Trump always lies. He will leave kicking and screaming like the 5 year old he is.

Trump was defeated in the election why does this continue? Wasting money in a time of the pandemic and many in need! Why is it continually being covered?

liar

If only this rant at this tiny desk had taken place at Four Season’s Total Landscaping... therealfstl1992

He will leave ? Duh. Yeah, you will leave and the whole country that is not mentally deranged will breathe a huge sigh of relief that our democracy is intact

I am needing to leave the White House as well

Oh no, Trump might follow the constitution. What are journalists and democrats going to do with themselves?!

Time to call for a total Red 🔴 Out! Begins on January 20th, 2021 at Midnight. National 🇺🇸 Boycott of the Joe Biden Inauguration. (Presidency TBD) ... Runs till 8 a.m. on January 21st.

SoreLoser TreasonousTrump BiggestLoser DonTheCon NoMoreTrump

He can’t be outta here fast enough

It’s nice not hearing from him. We’ve moved on. Just waiting on him to get off his ass and leave for good.

Can’t wait for the drama to end!

The window of gleaning his followers for cash is going to close. They are making as much noise as they can to keep the money coming in. Every dollar they take will hurt the next GOP candidate for president. This is a coup attempt for the GOP now.

Who cares. It’s not really up to him.

Stop the steal..

regarding Trump leaving the White House: we're not asking, we're telling.

That’s one more press conference than Biden held the entire campaign!

cc: Bill Maher the Annoying

This means more voter fraud litigation for days to come! It's almost a guarantee that the Trump Campaign will fight well after Biden's inauguration.

You are just twisting the FACT!

In other words NOTHING HAS CHANGED no news here.

Why we are listening to this clown !! Send him to bed early so he can watch fox !!

Like...immediately....or....

I haven't felt this good since Captain Sisko & the Federation fleet kicked Gul Dukat & the Jem'Hadar out of Deep Space Nine. They didn't want to go either and didn't believe they lost.

'If' Is he signalling to the ECs to do him a favour? The US is no longer a democracy. Smh. USElections2020

I will believe it when I see it

He’s nuts! Frighteningly delusional!

Damn I was looking forward to the military dragging his fat ass out

-why haven’t you called t/5 New York House races, where t/smallest margin is 11K? T/seats are NY1 -R by 65K /100%; NY2 -R by 40K /100%; NY11 -R by 37K /100%; NY22 -R by 11K /100%; & NY24- R by 43K /100%. By Yr own g/lines,these races should have been called. Is there a bias?

I hope that once T**** leaves our WhiteHouse and slinks back into his hole, mainstream media never speaks of him again. WeThePeople would be the better & grateful for this favor.

Well that’s a matter of course. Is there anything else he’d like to drop onto the “no sh*t” pile as he re-enters the atmosphere of reality?

This is the very first Thanksgiving since the election. Just clarifying an otherwise syntactically challenged statement. :)

Another step closer to living the dream of seeing the serial rapist cult leader getting bodily dragged out of the WH in international news. 🤣

Biden has assured him that he won't prosecute.

BASELESS CLAIMS if you are a BRAINDEAD DEMOCRAT!

Can realDonaldTrump at least pretend to worry about the Health of Americans...how many more people need to die from Covid...

4AnimalLife He's a Pathological Liar.

Can we do it tomorrow?

How many ways does that guy have to lose the election before he finally believes it?

This is trash. Please report to the American public useful and relevant information. Do your jobs.

Well, the media is wrong again with his coup plans. Not surprising. 🙄

Would this mean that either on December 14th when the electoral votes are counted or on January 6th when congress okay’s the votes will he leave office.

Of course, we went from a 'fraud' to a 'mistake'.

The man is totally unhinged and should be removed from office before January; preferably in handcuffs, but a straight-jacket will work too.

And he bitched and moaned about his bullshit election fraud.

Trump acknowledges grass is green. Trump Acknowledges fish swim. Trump acknowledges birds fly. Breaking news!

It isn't an option. He has no choice. Please stop with the narrative that his opinion means something.

finally

Donald Trump will leave the White House.

I don't know which reporter wrote this paragraph, but yowza! Brilliant!

Trump is insignificant. He will fade into obscurity where he belongs, becoming a mere historical footnote among other corrupt yet ultimately forgettable presidents.

Why report this as news? Trump was not re-elected, therefore he will no longer be president January 20th whether the EC formalizes Biden's victory or not. Pelosi is the line of succession.

Truly I hope all ap employers knows it is a federal crime to mislead the citizens in a Presidential election We may form a class A lawsuit against every one media publisher and broadcaster, who has given false election results in this 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. In Jesus's name

2008 obama had a cult following, brought out historic young&black voters,so not even the left believes biden got more votes than him,much less more black votes in detroit? Lmao.Dont even need to be open minded to understand that, i saw maybe 5 biden car stickers IN A BLUE COUNTY

YAWN--- Trump is so TrumpCovid2020 and we are so over it....

If? My god journalism is so horribly broken.

WAIT, Does that mean he will leave on December 14th?

Color me shocked you guys actually reported this accurately. Typical narcissistic behavior though --- gotta sprinkle in a few truths so you can gaslight the hell out of us for your lies.

IDK why people ask him if he's gonna leave like he has a choice.

He doesn’t answer a single question for 3 weeks and then calls a press conference on thanksgiving. Just the most vain, petty, pathetic human being imaginable. He deserves no respect whatsoever, from anyone, at anytime.

idiot

Wouldn’t be great if some of the Republican electoral college members decided to vote AGAINST Trump like in 2016?

bah ha ha, you wish. Trump won and won't be going anywhere.

He's such a failed soul, always has been just so obvious now. He's a living embarrassment to himself, his family and sadly, our country. We need to move on.

Who? Jk? Fuck that dude.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu

All TRUMPS LAWYERS NEED TO LOSE THEIR LICENSE FOR FRAUD AND FALSE CLAIMS!

Of course he will he and everyone on the right loves the Constitution. That actual constitution. Not the made up one by leftist judges.

Trump doesn’t understand how any of this works. It’s not if, it’s when the Electoral College certifies the Biden victory. Trump has no say in the matter!

He doesn't have a choice.

More bad reporting. Amazing how stupid you choose to be. He’s leaving. No “if” about it. He lost. Stop being irresponsible.

He's leaving on January 20th whether he likes it or not. I hear the Borg are looking for drones.

How grand of him.

And he handled it in about as classy a way that this dumpster fire of a human could have.

Who is paying for it? Better not be the taxpayers. David and Kelly should be footing the bill. They have all of that stock $$ they made from COVID.

I’m missing the part where you make it clear that IT’S NOT HIS DECISION.

realDonaldTrump is the Commander in Whining ByeDon

He’ll leave or be carried out. The choice is up to him🤷🏾‍♀️

Negotiation with people who are not grounded in reality is not an option. Gaslighting the public , either intentional or otherwise, is emotional terrorism, and there’s no negotiations with terrorists.

INMP

Stop giving him the time of day. All you're doing is feeding his ego and base. He's really insignificant at this point. Why allow him a platform to undermine our election integrity?
