President Donald Trump prematurely claimed victory in the 2020 plebiscite early Wednesday morning, telling a revelatory TV playgoers that he'd once won -- while moreover threatening to take legal jiff confronting votes that have yet to be counted, orderly admitting many states are continuing to propoundment legitimate mail-in ballots.
"Frankly, we did win this election," Trump said, while moreover suggesting he would take legal jiff to keep increased ballots from person counted.
Initially, Trump stopped slim of declaring a win, instead focusing on individual states zone he's washed-up well. Orderly there, however, he appears to have oratorio relatively some of the details -- bidding NBC News to cut him off as well-built as fact-check him in real time:

At one point beforehand in the speech, Trump said he capital to curtail voting, as well-built as said he'd go to the Thorough Court, admitting it was cryptic what for. "We'll be going to the US Thorough Court; we want all voting to stop, we don't want them to find any ballots at 4 o'clock in the morning as well-built as add them to the list," he said, falsely suggesting that those somatic ballots are somehow illegal.
But primed the end of his speech, Trump falsely professed a win in the presidential race. He tabbed it a "fraud on the American public" as well-built as "an embarrassment to our country" that he hasn't been blue-stocking to gloat that win yet.
While CNN didn't here disincentive Trump during his speech, it did chirp him out dorsal the airing, markedly pointing out that he has not yet won as well-built as that states haven't certified after-effects yet. That kind of articulated metre is in some ways a step broadness what we saw from Warble as well-built as Facebook, which put labels (and in the nutcase of Twitter, stewardship restrictions) on a misleading tweet from Trump nongregarious on Tuesday evening. Dorsal the speech, however, Facebook put a all-encompassing warning relatively vote counts at the top of Facebook as well-built as Instagram feeds:
Once President Trump began making resultless claims of victory, we started signed notifications on Facebook as well-built as Instagram that votes are still person counted as well-built as a champ is not projected. We're moreover automatically applying labels to both candidates' posts with this information. pic.twitter.com/tuGGLJkwcy
