Trump clings to power, denying the president elect access to messages of good will from around the world, now residing in the State Department Post box.

No access to top security briefings for Biden, no concession from Trump. No gracious acceptance speech. the President clings to office, as Biden's count in the electoral college increases to 306. Adding Georgia to the Democrat base this week, Trump for the first time on Friday came close to accepting, there would be a new administration in the White House on January 20th.

In his first official appearance in ten days since polls closed on November 3, Trump said “This administration will not be going to a lock down. Whatever happens in the future, who knows which administration it will be. I guess time will tell”.
