A.F.B.
President-elect Joe Biden announced yesterday that America has "returned" to the international arena, expressing "confidence" in his ability to restore international "respect" for his country, and affirming that nothing will stop the transfer of power in the country, while he considered that the outgoing President Donald Trump He "embarrasses himself" by refusing to acknowledge his defeat in the presidential elections, which will negatively affect his political legacy, but he downplayed the billionaire's Republican position.
In detail, Biden said at a press conference in Wilmington, that he spoke by phone to six leaders of the countries and "told them that America is back and is no longer the only America", pointing out that their response was "enthusiastic, and I am confident that we will succeed in regaining the respect that America enjoyed Previously ».
He added that nothing will stop the transfer of power in the United States after his victory in the elections, and stressed that the transition is proceeding in full swing, despite President Donald Trump's refusal to accept the election results.
Biden made these statements from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, and said, referring to Trump's refusal to acknowledge his defeat on November 3rd: "I honestly believe that he is embarrassing himself."
He added that he was "tactful" by saying, "I think this matter will not serve the president's political legacy."
A week after losing the presidential election, Trump continued the day before yesterday by trying to promote an alternative truth that he was about to win, but the winning Democrat, Joe Biden, ignored him and received a series of congratulatory calls from a number of world leaders.
On the position of Trump and his supporters, Biden said that "their lack of intention to acknowledge our victory does not affect much at this stage on our planning."
The leaders of countries allied with the United States held telephone conversations with the US president-elect, hoping for cooperation with him.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin congratulated Biden on winning the US presidency.
Biden said, "I told them that America is back and is no longer the only America," noting that their response was "enthusiastic, and therefore I am confident that we will succeed in regaining the respect that America previously enjoyed."
And the leader of the Democratic minority in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, said that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who supports Trump, is separate from reality.
"Biden won, he won the elections, he got over it," Schumer said, heading to Pompeo.
"We have a rampant Covid crisis ... we do not have time for this kind of games," he said.
Trump's attempt to remain in power has become exhausting for the man who used to openly mock his opponents, describing them as "losers."
Trump tweeted: "We will win."
Then he added early on Tuesday: "Watch for massive abuse in the vote count."
Since the date of maturity on November 3, Trump has been so dismissed in his public appearances and activism that he appears to have shelved his regular presidential duties.
The only known activity he did outside the White House was playing golf during the weekend after the results.
As for the daily briefings he received from the security services, they were outside his daily schedule, and he did not mention the escalation of Covid-19 cases across the country.
Suddenly his near-daily press conferences, interviews with Fox News, and impromptu chat sessions with White House reporters disappeared. Instead, Trump spent most of his time tweeting, often about what he claimed were stolen elections, and sometimes he would retweet supportive comments from right-wing presenters from Fox News »The quotes from the daily programs of the channel.
The only significant presidential action Trump took was the sudden dismissal of Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Monday, which he also announced on Twitter.
At this point four years ago, Trump had won his surprise victory over Hillary Clinton and toured the White House for the first time at the invitation of outgoing President Barack Obama.
This courtesy of elected presidents is a long-standing tradition that emphasizes an almost sacred respect for the peaceful transfer of power.
Trump, who took office pledging to topple what he called the "deep state", is now breaking another tradition. He not only refrained from inviting Biden to the Oval Office, but even prevented him from obtaining a package of funding, expertise and facilities designed to help the president-elect prepare for taking office.
This package is controlled by President of the Public Services Administration, Emily Murphy, who has been appointed by Trump and is responsible for its release.
But Biden, who won a record number of votes while admitting nearly half of voters support Trump, has apparently chosen to ignore the chaos.
He rarely mentioned Trump. Rather, he hastened to create a special task force to combat the Corona virus, and on Tuesday he gave his latest speech in which he addressed the fate of the "obamaker" healthcare plan that Trump asked the Supreme Court to dismantle.
And there is a lot of speculation in Washington about who will act from within Trump's narrow circle to persuade him to admit defeat, if such a person is found.
The only Republican president still alive, George W. Bush, congratulated Biden on his victory, but is distancing himself from his Trump-dominated party.
And last Monday, Congressional Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that Trump was "100% right" to legally challenge the elections.
But it remains unclear how long this level of support will last, or even how long Trump will hold on to the presidency.
None of the lawsuits appear to have the power to alter the outcome, and even a recount in states like Georgia or anywhere is unlikely to change the basic calculation.
But Trump added a potential new weapon to his campaign, last Monday, after US Attorney General Bill Barr agreed to conduct investigations into possible election irregularities.
Nevertheless, Barr conceded his decision with a warning that "allegations that are deceptive, speculative, fanciful, or far-fetched should not form the basis for the initiation of federal investigations."
Barr's unusual interference raised concerns that Trump might go further in his efforts, prompting Justice Department election crime chief Richard Pilger to resign in protest.
Biden will be installed in 71 days on January 20.
President Trump, who took office pledging to overthrow what he called the "deep state" is now shattering another tradition.
Much speculation rages in Washington about who will turn from Trump's narrow circle to persuade him to concede defeat.
