Your support makes all the difference.Donald Trump was mocked after he complained about how the country is being run, even though he runs it.
The outgoing president took to Twitter and continued to whine about his election loss to Joe Biden more than a month after being defeated.
“If somebody cheated in the Election, which the Democrats did, why wouldn’t the Election be immediately overturned? How can a Country be run like this?” he wrote.
Mr Trump has refused to concede to Mr Biden despite his defeat in the critical battlegrounds he needed to win to return to the White House.
And his latest complaints on social media saw him derided by users.
“Sir, it you,” tweeted Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo.
“You should probably cry more, it's very dignified and presidential,” added designer Jeff Tiedrich
And author Rick Newman, added: “Many have been asking that for the last four years. How can a country be run like this.”
“Trump wants to speak with the manager of the country, which would be him,” tweeted @jennyrachelpal.
He has made false claims of voter fraud in states like Pennsylvania and Georgia that went for Mr Biden and which rejected his leadership.
But his lawyers have failed to present any evidence of such fraud in lawsuits filed across the country and have taken a string of defeats on the president’s behalf.
State officials in all the battleground states have rejected claims of fraud and have already certified the results.
Mr Trump has attached himself to a long-shot lawsuit filed by the Texas attorney general directly in the Supreme Court seeking to overturn the results in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin.
