o, no landslide then, and America’s nightmare goes on. A nation so evenly and so bitterly divided looks set for much more anguish. It’s difficult to see this ending in a good place, whoever wins. Of course, Donald Trump didn’t help. Characteristically, when things don’t seem to be going his way, he lashed out, makes wild claims, accuses people of cheating: “They are trying to steal the election.”
As he himself warned the world at the end of the campaign, he finds losing difficult. You can say that again. We surely know that this particular tweet was his own work because of the (incorrect) reference to votes being cast after “the Poles” had closed.
When Trump claims that “a very sad group of people” is trying to disenfranchise the American people “and we won't stand for it”, we know what he is saying – “cry havoc”.
