Statement from National Security Advisor Robert C. O’Brien

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 11, 2020

Statement from National Security Advisor Robert C. O’Brien Beijing's recent actions disqualifying pro-democracy legislators from Hong Kong's Legislative Council leave no doubt that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has flagrantly violated its international commitments under the Sino-British Joint Declaration and its promises to the people of Hong Kong, including those under the Basic Law.  "One Country, Two Systems" is now merely a fig leaf covering for the CCP's expanding one party dictatorship in Hong Kong.  The United States will continue to utilize all the powers granted under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, and the Executive Order on Hong Kong Normalization to identify and sanction those responsible for extinguishing Hong Kong's freedom.

Proclamation on Veterans Day, 2020

 

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 10, 2020 Veterans Day, 2020   - - - - - - -   By the President of the United States of America   A Proclamation          America's veterans have fought to defend our country, its values, and its interests since the first days of our founding.  They have defeated tyrants, eliminated terrorists, and secured freedom at home and abroad.  Their courage and fortitude in the face of adversity serve as an example for all Americans.  On Veterans Day, we pause to pay tribute to all who have proudly worn our Nation's uniform.  These Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen selflessly placed lives, well‑being, and security of others before their own.  We enjoy the privileges of peace, prosperity, and freedom because of our veterans, and we are forever indebted to them beyond measure.           For their love of country and dedication to duty, America's veterans have endured adversity, loneliness, fatigue, loss, and made other incredible sacrifices.  Many sustained life-altering physical injuries and disabilities; others bear the burden of emotional scars for the remainder of their lives.  Our Nation's veterans fully understand liberty's high and precious cost, for they have paid it every day since the formation of our Republic.      As Commander in Chief, I have relentlessly fought to support America's veterans.  For far too long, our Government had not fully met its obligation to provide for "him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan."  I recognize that this country and its people are duty-bound to care for our exceptional veterans, their families, and their survivors.  That is why, throughout my time in office, I have worked tirelessly to improve the health, welfare, and economic prosperity of these treasured people.  In just a few short years, my Administration completely overhauled the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), removing employees who were not giving our veterans the care and attention they deserve and making the agency more accountable to the heroes it serves.  I also signed into law the VA MISSION Act, which gives eligible veterans the choice to receive timely care from providers in their own communities.  In 2018, I also signed the largest funding bill in the history of the VA, and the VA has since benefited from record budgets every year.  In addition, I signed a Presidential Memorandum to ensure that veterans who are totally and permanently disabled receive the Federal student loan forgiveness to which they are so justly entitled.  We will continue to build on these efforts and work to create an economic environment that fosters growth and prosperity for veterans, ensuring all of our veterans have the opportunity to live productive civilian lives.      The mental health and welfare of our veterans is of critical importance, and addressing this issue has been a top priority.  Tragically, an average of 20 veterans and service members die by suicide each day.  We are striving with all our effort to end this alarming and unacceptable reality.  Last year, I launched the largest whole-of-government program in history to end veteran suicide, the President's Roadmap to Empower Veterans and End a National Tragedy of Suicide (PREVENTS).  I also recently signed the Commander John Scott Hannon Veteran Mental Health Care Improvement Act which is strengthening VA mental health, supporting suicide prevention efforts, and developing pilot programs dedicated to ending veteran suicide.  I have also bolstered the Veterans Crisis Line, so that its around-the-clock operators can deliver the best possible intervention services to vulnerable veterans.      Our veterans represent the best of America, and they deserve the best America can provide them.  To recognize and respect the contributions our service men and women have made in defense of America, and to advance the cause of peace, the Congress has provided, as outlined in 5 U.S.C. 6103(a), that November 11th of each year shall be set aside as a legal public holiday to recognize America's veterans.  These heroes served faithfully, humbly, and valiantly in times of war and peace, and they carried these admirable traits into the civilian workforce when their military service was fulfilled.  Our precious liberty has survived and thrived because of generations of brave Americans -- from every background and walk of life -- who have answered the call to support and defend the United States.  The gravity of their contribution is immeasurable and so is our debt to every single one of our Nation's veterans.      NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 11, 2020, as Veterans Day.  I encourage all Americans to recognize the fortitude and sacrifice of our veterans through public ceremonies and private thoughts and prayers.  I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to display the flag of the United States and to participate in patriotic activities in their communities.  I call on all Americans, including civic and fraternal organizations, places of worship, schools, and communities to support this day with commemorative expressions and programs.      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.                                    DONALD J. TRUMP

Presidential Message on the 245th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps

 

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 10, 2020

Presidential Message on the 245th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps   As Commander in Chief, I proudly join our Nation in wishing the United States Marine Corps a happy 245th birthday. Officially established by the Second Continental Congress on November 10, 1775, the Marine Corps has protected our sovereignty in the air, on land, and at sea.  Our Marines have led the charge for freedom and justice in defense of our constitutional republic and its founding principles. Since they first shed blood for the cause of freedom during the Revolutionary War, Marines, true to their creed, have never wavered in their faithfulness.  The distinct scarlet and gold Battle Colors of the United States Marine Corps symbolize its history of both unmatched prowess on the battlefield and solemn sacrifice in service to our Nation.  Every brave man and woman who dons the Marine Corps uniform carries this legacy forward. With steadfast honor, courage, and commitment, Marines have swiftly and decisively risen to the occasion to secure victory, no matter the task.  This January marks the 30th anniversary of Operation Desert Storm, in which Marines successfully carried out one of the most consequential offensive attacks in the history of modern warfare.  Throughout the Gulf War, these brave warriors never faltered, a reflection of their long-standing devotion to pressing forward until every battle is won. Today, as we celebrate the men and women who valiantly defend our country as United States Marines, we also honor our heroic Marine veterans, and we solemnly remember those Marines who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom.  We will always cherish and honor their memory. The First Lady and I send our thoughts and prayers to all members of our Armed Forces and their families.  May God bless the Marine Corps, and may He continue to bless the United States of America. Semper Fidelis!

Presidential Message on the National Day for the Victims of Communism

 

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 7, 2020 Presidential Message on the National Day for the Victims of Communism   On National Day for the Victims of Communism, we solemnly remember the more than 100 million lives claimed by communism in the 20th century.  We commit ourselves to stopping the spread of this oppressive ideology that, without fail, leaves in its wake misery, destruction, and death.  As proud Americans who cherish the blessings of freedom and democracy, we promise to support the more than one billion people currently captive within communist regimes and denied their unalienable rights to life and liberty.          This year marks the 100th anniversary of the decisive Polish victory against Vladimir Lenin’s Bolsheviks in the Battle of Warsaw.  Known as the Miracle on the Vistula, the Polish heroes of this battle halted the spread of communism in Europe for decades.  Sadly, the Soviet Union erected an Iron Curtain around Poland and spread communism to neighboring countries and around the world.  Since then, the United States and the free world have borne witness to the horrors of communism, including Chinese prison camps and Soviet gulags.  Over the last century, communist regimes from Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge to Ethiopia’s Derg have confirmed the soul-crushing oppression inherent in Karl Marx’s philosophy.   Still today, we observe the irony of “People’s Republics” that belong not to the people, but to one-party and that exist only for the benefit of a select few.  Over and over, communism and socialism have proven to be irreconcilable with the unalienable and fundamental rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  While Marxism promises equality, peace, and happiness, in practice it results only in inequality, violence, and despair.   On this National Day for the Victims of Communism, we commit to standing against this insidious ideology, and pledge with great pride that the United States will never be a socialist nation.  We memorialize all those who have lost their lives to communism and recommit to promoting freedom so that future generations can flourish.

Proclamation on World Freedom Day, 2020

 

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 6, 2020 WORLD FREEDOM DAY, 2020   - - - - - - -   BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA   A PROCLAMATION          On World Freedom Day, we commemorate the historic fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, which liberated the people of East Germany from the grip of tyranny.  This watershed event marked the triumph of freedom and liberty for hundreds of millions of people who rejected the oppression of Soviet communism and its Marxist-Leninist ideology.  Today, we celebrate the blessings of freedom in Germany and across the world, and reaffirm our Nation's support for all who wish to be free.      Following World War II, the Soviet Union built an Iron Curtain between the East and West, isolating the city of West Berlin and shutting off the free flow of goods and people.  Determined to prevent the light of liberty from being extinguished, our Nation stood with the United Kingdom and France against the Soviet demand that the West withdraw from Berlin.  To defeat this demand for surrender, the United States Air Force and our allies fearlessly airlifted food, fuel, and supplies to the starving people of West Berlin, and together, we were resolved to restore freedom to the German people.      For almost 30 years, the Berlin Wall symbolized the divide between the free world and communism.  On its eastern side, the rights that democratic societies hold dear -- the fundamental freedoms of religion, speech, the press, association, and petition -- were replaced by forced secularism, oppressive censorship, monolithic propaganda, and inhumane division.  Hundreds of brave Germans died attempting to escape this brutal fate, as the Stasi used landmines, armed watchtowers, and barbed wire to intimidate those who dreamed of freedom and to kill and harm those who braved any attempt to escape.  Those whose escapes failed, those who facilitated successful or attempted crossings, and those who crossed the Stasi in some other way were tortured, imprisoned, and executed in horrifying violations of human dignity and rights.      The United States always stood resolutely with the victims and survivors of the evil ideology that controlled East Germany and East Berlin.  Our valiant response to Soviet oppression in Germany defined the Cold War, from President John F. Kennedy's declaration, "Ich bin ein Berliner," in 1963 to President Ronald Reagan's momentous call, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" in 1987.  Our founding principles of individual, God-given unalienable rights, human dignity, and equality of opportunity were embraced by the millions held in Soviet bondage, and ultimately won the ideological battle of the Cold War.  As a result, we are able to celebrate Germany's reunification today, reaffirm our alliance, and recognize German contributions to modern day peace and prosperity.      This World Freedom Day, we honor all those who fought for freedom, endured injustice, and bravely resisted totalitarianism before the fall of the Berlin Wall.  We also reassert our longstanding commitment to combat tyranny, uplift the voices of those held captive by communist regimes, and halt the spread of this brutal ideology at home and around the world.      NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 9, 2020, as World Freedom Day.  I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities, reaffirming our dedication to freedom and democracy.      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.                                    DONALD J. TRUMP

Proclamation on National Apprenticeship Week, 2020

 

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 6, 2020

NATIONAL APPRENTICESHIP WEEK, 2020   - - - - - - -   BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA   A PROCLAMATION          Apprenticeships provide American workers tangible skills and an industry-recognized credential.  They strengthen our Nation's economy and help millions of men and women provide for their families without taking on the financial burden of student loans and other related debt.  During National Apprenticeship Week, we celebrate the American workers who create a brighter future for themselves and their families through apprenticeships, and we further our commitment to bolstering opportunity as we continue our economic comeback.      For decades, politicians and bureaucrats in Washington neglected workers, shipped jobs overseas, and abandoned essential manufacturing industries.  When I took office, I reversed these policies and pledged to always put the American economy, labor force, and worker first.  Under my leadership, we have cut taxes, removed burdensome regulations on businesses, and renegotiated our trade deals, all of which led to historic job creation and economic growth.  Apprenticeships are a pillar of our effort to continue this trend, and my Administration remains committed to supporting initiatives that empower Americans and prepare our workers to compete and thrive in a 21st-century economy.      Since taking office, my Administration has worked tirelessly to empower more Americans with the benefits of apprenticeships and the skills they provide.  In June of 2017, I signed an Executive Order on Expanding Apprenticeships in America.  Under my leadership, the Department of Labor has awarded $80 million across 42 States and territories for occupational skills education for American students and workers, 800,000 Americans have joined apprenticeship programs, and we are well on the way to meeting my goal of 1 million new apprentices by September of next year.  In Fiscal Year 2019 alone, we registered more than 250,000 new apprentices in vital industries, including advanced manufacturing, financial services, educational services, transportation, healthcare, and informational technology.  My Administration also recently launched the Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Program model, which provides opportunities for industry-led, market-driven training that expands workforce development and opens windows to well-paying jobs in high-demand industries.  In recognition of our Nation's obligation to our military men and women, my Administration has also expanded the United Services Military Apprenticeship Program across all branches, providing apprenticeship opportunities to our service members while they are still on active duty to help them prepare for prosperous and fulfilling lives after their time in uniform.      My Administration will also continue to work with industry partners to provide workers with the skills they need to succeed in today's economy through the Pledge to America's Workers.  This initiative recently proved essential as our Nation confronted the unprecedented challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.  As part of our ongoing response, we launched the largest industrial mobilization since World War II, and thousands of new apprentices answered the call for skilled labor in key sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, cybersecurity, and information technology.  These efforts demonstrate that, when government allows the free market to respond, the spirit of the American worker and the strength and resolve of America's economy will overcome any challenge.        This week, we recommit to bolstering economic opportunity through apprenticeships.  I encourage individuals, business leaders, and government officials to support hardworking Americans and their families through expanding apprenticeship education and training, recognizing the essential role apprenticeships play in sustaining our national economy.      NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 8 through November 14, 2020, as National Apprenticeship Week.      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.                                    DONALD J. TRUMP

REMARKS BY PRESIDENT TRUMP ON THE ELECTION James S. Brady Press Briefing Room

 

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 5, 2020 REMARKS BY PRESIDENT TRUMP ON THE ELECTION   James S. Brady Press Briefing Room     6:48 P.M. EST        THE PRESIDENT:  Good evening.  I’d like to provide the American people with an update on our efforts to protect the integrity of our very important 2020 election.  If you count the legal votes, I easily win.  If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us.  If you count the votes that came in late -- we're looking at them very strongly.  But a lot of votes came in late.         I've already decisively won many critical states, including massive victories in Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, to name just a few.  We won these and many other victories despite historic election interference from big media, big money, and big tech.         As everybody saw, we won by historic numbers.  And the pollsters got it knowingly wrong.  They got it knowingly wrong.  We had polls that were so ridiculous, and everybody knew that at the time.  There was no blue wave that they predicted.  They thought there was going to be a big blue wave; that was false.  That was done for suppression reasons.  But instead, there was a big red wave.        And it's been properly acknowledged, actually, by the media.  They were, I think, very impressed, but that was after the fact.  That doesn't do us any good.         We kept the Senate, despite having twice as many seats to defend as Democrats.  And in a really --  much more competitive states, we've -- we did a fantastic job with the Senate, and I think we’re very proud of what’s happened there.  We had many more seats to defend.         They spent almost $200 million on Senate races in South Carolina and Kentucky alone -- two races -- and hundreds of millions of dollars overall against us.  At the national level, our opponents’ major donors were Wall Street bankers and special interests.  Our major donors were police officers, farmers, everyday citizens.  Yet for the first time ever, we lost zero races in the House.  I was talking to Kevin McCarthy today.  He said he couldn't believe it: zero races.  Very unusual thing.  Zero.  And actually won many new seats with, I think, many more on the way.         This was also the year of the Republican woman.  More Republican women were elected to Congress than ever before.  That's a great achievement.  I won the largest share of non-white voters of any Republican in 60 years, including historic numbers of Latino, African American, Asian American, and Native American voters -- the largest ever in our history.  We grew our party by 4 million voters, the greatest turnout in Republican Party history.        Democrats are the party of the big donors, the big media, the big tech, it seems.  And Republicans have become the party of the American worker, and that's what's happened.  And we're also, I believe, the party of inclusion.        As everyone now recognizes, media polling was election interference, in the truest sense of that word, by powerful special interests.  These really phony polls -- I have to call them phony polls, fake polls -- were designed to keep our voters at home, create the illusion of momentum for Mr. Biden, and diminish Republicans’ ability to raise funds.  They were what's called “suppression polls.”  Everyone knows that now.  And it's never been used to the extent that it's been used on this last election.        To highlight just a few examples: The day before election, Quinnipiac -- which was wrong on every occasion that I know of -- had Joe Biden up by 5 points in Florida, and they were off by 8.4 points.  And I won Florida easily.  Easily.  So, they had me losing Florida by a lot, and I ended up winning Florida by a lot.  Other than that, they were very accurate.  They had him up 4 points in Ohio, and they were off by 12.2 points.  And I also won Ohio -- the great state of Ohio -- very easily.         The Washington Post had Biden up 17 points in Wisconsin, and it was basically even.  They were off by about 17 points, and they knew that.  They're not stupid people.  They knew that.  Suppression.         There are now only a few states yet to be decided in the presidential race.  The voting apparatus of those states are run, in all cases, by Democrats.         We were winning in all the key locations by a lot, actually.  And then our number started miraculously getting whittled away in secret, and they wouldn't allow legally permissible observers.  We went to court, in a couple of instances, and we were able to get the observers put in.  And when the observers got there, they wanted them 60, 70 feet away, 80 feet, 100 feet away -- or outside the building to observe people inside the building.         And we won a case -- a big case.  And we have others happening.  There are a lot of -- lots of litigation.  Even beyond our litigation, there's tremendous amount of litigation generally because of how unfair this process was, and I predicted that.  I've been talking about mail-in voting for a long time.  It’s -- it’s really destroyed our system.         It's a corrupt system.  And it makes people corrupt even if they aren’t by nature, but they become corrupt; it's too easy.  They want to find out how many votes they need, and then they seem to be able to find them.  They wait and wait, and then they find them.         And you see that on Election Night.  We were ahead in votes in North Carolina by a lot -- tremendous number of votes.  And we’re still ahead by a lot, but not as many because they’re finding ballots all of a sudden.  “Oh, we have some mail-in ballots.”         It's amazing how those mail-in ballots are so one-sided, too.  I know that it's supposed to be to the advantage of the Democrats, but in all cases, they're so one-sided.         We were up by nearly 700,000 votes in Pennsylvania.  I won Pennsylvania by a lot, and that gets whittled down to -- I think they said now we're up by 90,000 votes.  And they'll keep coming and coming and coming.  They find them all over.  And they don't want us to have any observers, although we won a court case.  The judge said you have to have observers.         Likewise, in Geor- -- and they’re appealing.  Actually, they're appealing.  We won a case that we want people to watch and we want observers, and they're actually appealing, which is sort of interesting.  I wonder why they’d appeal -- that all we want to do is have people watch as they do the vote tabulations.         Likewise, in Georgia, I won by a lot -- a lot -- with a lead of over -- getting close to 300,000 votes on Election Night in Georgia.  And, by the way, got whittled down, and now it's getting to be to a point where I'll go from winning by a lot to perhaps being even down a little bit.         In Georgia, a pipe burst in a faraway location, totally unrelated to the location of what was happening, and they stopped counting for four hours, and a lot of things happened.  The election apparatus in Georgia is run by Democrats.         We also had margins of 300,000 in Michigan.  We were way up in Michigan; won the state.  And in Wisconsin, we did likewise fantastically well.  And that got whittled down.  Every -- in every case, they got whittled down.         Today, we're on track to win Arizona.  We only need to carry, I guess, 55 percent of the remaining vote -- 55 percent margins.  And that's a margin that we've significantly exceeded.  So we'll see what happens with that, but we're on track to do okay in Arizona.         Our goal is to defend the integrity of the election.  We’ll not allow the corruption to steal such an important election or any election, for that matter.  And we can't allow silence --anybody to silence our voters and manufacture results.         I've never had -- I've been doing a lot of public things for a long time; I've never had anything that's been as inspirational by people -- calling, talking, sending things to us.  I've never seen such -- such love and such affection and such spirit as I've seen for this.  People know what's happening, and they see what's happening, and it's before their eyes.         And there are many instances which will be reported very shortly.  There's tremendous litigation going on.  And this is a case where they're trying to steal an election, they're trying to rig an election, and we can't let that happen.  Detroit and Philadelphia -- known as two of the most corrupt political places anywhere in our country, easily -- cannot be responsible for engineering the outcome of a presidential race -- a very important presidential race.         In Pennsylvania, Democrats have gone to the State Supreme Court to try and ban our election observers, and very strongly.  Now, we won the case, but they're -- they're going forward.  They don't want anybody in there.  They don't want anybody watching them as they count the ballots, and I can't imagine why.  There's absolutely no legitimate reason why they would not want to have people watching this process, because if it's straight, they would be -- they should be proud of it.  Instead, they're trying, obviously, to commit fraud.  There's no question about that.         In Philadelphia, observers have been kept far away -- very far away -- so far that people are using binoculars to try and see, and there's been tremendous problems caused.  They put paper on all of the windows so you can't see in, and the people that are banned are very unhappy and become somewhat violent.         The 11th Circuit ruled that, in Georgia, the votes have been in by Election Day -- that they should be in by Election Day, and they weren't.  Votes are coming in after Election Day.  And they had a ruling already that you have to have the votes in by Election Day.  To the best of my knowledge, votes should be in by Election Day, and they didn't do that.        Democrat officials never believed they could win this election honestly.  I really believe that.  That's why they did the mail-in ballots, where there's tremendous corruption and fraud going on.  That's why they mailed out tens of millions of unsolicited ballots without any verification measures whatsoever.  And I’ve told everybody that these things would happen, because I've seen it happen.  I watched a lot of different elections before they decided to go with this big, massive election with tens of millions of ballots going out to everybody -- in many cases, totally unsolicited.         This was unprecedented in American history.  This was by design.  Despite years of claiming to care about the election security, they refuse to include any requirement to verify signatures, identities, or even determine whether they're eligible or ineligible to vote.  People are walking in that they have no idea; they’re just taking numbers.  They're writing down things -- the workers -- and doing a lot of bad things.  And we have a lot of information coming and litigation that you'll see that will shake even you people up, and you've seen it all.        The officials overseeing the counting in Pennsylvania and other key states are all part of a corrupt Democrat machine that you've written about -- and, for a long time, you've been writing about the corrupt Democrat machine.  I went to school there, and I know a lot about it.  It hasn't changed.  It’s a long time ago, and it hasn't changed.  It's gotten worse.        In Pennsylvania, partisan Democrats have allowed ballots in the state to be received three days after the election, and we think much more than that.  And they are counting those without even postmarks or any identification whatsoever.  So you don't have postmarks; you don't have identification.  There have been a number of disturbing irregularities across the nation.  Our campaign has been denied access to observe any counting in Detroit.  Detroit is another place.         So you don't have postmarks; you don't have identification.  There have been a number of disturbing irregularities across the nation.  Our campaign has been denied access to observe any counting in Detroit.  Detroit is another place -- and I wouldn't say has the best reputation for election integrity.         Poll workers in Michigan were duplicating ballots.  But when our observers attempted to challenge the activity, those poll workers jumped in front of the volunteers to block their view so that they couldn't see what they were doing, and it became a little bit dangerous.         One major hub for counting ballots in Detroit covered up the windows, again, with large pieces of cardboard.  And so they wanted to protect and block the counting area.  They didn't want anybody seeing the counting, even though these were observers who are legal observers that were supposed to be there.        In Detroit, there were hours of unexplained delay in delivering many of the votes for counting.  The final batch did not arrive until four in the morning and -- even though the polls closed at eight o'clock.  So they brought it in, and the batches came in, and nobody knew where they came from.  We've also been denied access to observe in critical places in Georgia.         In multiple swing states, counting was halted for hours and hours on Election Night, with results withheld from major Democrat-run locations, only to appear later.  And they certainly appeared, and they all had the name “Biden” on them, or just about all -- I think almost all.  They all had the name “Biden” on them, which is a little strange.        I challenge Joe and every Democrat to clarify that they only want legal votes.  Because they talk about votes, and I think they should use the word “legal” -- “legal votes.”  “We want every legal vote counted.”  And I want every legal vote counted.  We want openness and transparency -- no secret count rooms, no mystery ballots, no illegal votes being cast after Election Day.         You have Election Day, and the laws are very strong on that.  You have an Election Day.  And they don't want votes cast after Election Day, and they want the process to be an honest one.  It's so important.  We want an honest election, and we want an honest count, and we want honest people working back there because it's a very important job.         So that's the way this country is going to win.  That’s the way the United States will win.  And we think we will win the election very easily.  We think there's going to be a lot of litigation because we have so much evidence, so much proof.  And it's going to end up, perhaps, at the highest court in the land.  We'll see.  But we think there'll be a lot of litigation because we can't have an election stolen by -- like this.         And I -- I tell you, I would -- I have been talking about this for many months with all of you.  And I've said very strongly that mail-in ballots are going to end up being a disaster.  Small elections were a disaster.  Small, very easy-to-handle elections were disastrous.         This is a large-scale version, and it's getting worse and worse every day.  We're hearing stories that are horror stories -- absolute horror stories.  And we can't let that happen to the United States of America.  It's not a question of who wins -- Republican, Democrat; Joe, myself.  We can't let that happen to our country.  We can't be disgraced by having something like this happen.         So it will be hopefully cleared up, maybe soon; I hope soon.  But it'll probably go through a process -- a legal process.  And, as you know, I've claimed certain states and he's claiming states.  So we can both claim the states, but ultimately I have a feeling judges are going to have to rule.  But there's been a lot of shenanigans, and we can't stand for that in our country.         Thank you very much.                                 END            7:04 P.M. EST
