While CNN does not specify when Trump falsely decided the election had been stolen, in its on-air report Monday morning it included a November 4 clip of Trump infamously saying, “We were getting ready to win this election, frankly, we did win this election. With the push of a red button placed on the Resolute Desk that presidents have used for decades, a White House butler soon arrived with a Coke for the president.
Haberman writes that he quizzed nearly everyone about which options would lead to success – including the valet who brought Diet Cokes when Trump pressed a red button on his Oval Office desk.”Īnd to Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel, Trump was overheard saying, “Why should I leave if they stole it from me?” “How can you leave when you won an election?”ĬNN adds that “Trump couldn’t decide which path to follow after his 2020 defeat. “We’re never leaving,” Trump told another aide. “I’m just not going to leave,” Trump told an aide, Haberman writes, CNN reports. Immediately after losing the 2020 election, Donald Trump at first seemed to recognize Joe Biden’s historic win, but as time went on he became convinced that the election had been stolen and “repeatedly” told aides he would not vacate the White House, according to a new book by the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman.
