President Donald Trump is facing a deluge of criticism and calls regarding his refusal to concede to President – elect Joe Biden. His obsession to discredit an election which is viewed as his loss by people is assuming graver proportions now. The spike in the COVID – 19 cases in the country and the new onslaught of the pandemic has raised urgent pleas from inside his administration to facilitate lifesaving transition talks between Joe Biden- incoming President- elect and Trump’s team of health care officials .The alarming figure of a loss of more than 1,000 US Lives a day have surfaced. It is claimed that more than 246,000 Americans have succumbed to COVID -19.
Trump has ignored the warning of health experts and refused to mobilise resources to curb the spread. He has instead, spent the weekend delving into the “ifs “and “buts” of his election loss. The USA meanwhile surpassed 11 million infections during the weekend. He took to his social media account on twitter recently to acknowledge the victory of Biden then immediately backtracked defiantly.
