Trump reminded of poll loss by Chris Evans, fans want actor to drag POTUS out of WH dressed as Captain America

Trump continued with the narrative that votes cast in favor of him were apparently not counted and also alleged that millions of mail-in ballots were sent to people who never asked for them

President Donald Trump and his campaign have been claiming that the Democrats were "trying to rig an election” and he continued to tweet about voter fraud. The POTUS claimed this despite lack of evidence and also maintained that the votes counted after the election day are "illegal". Trump also claimed to have registered a record victory that transpired for the first time in the country's history. Later, in more tweets, the president claimed his observers were barred from the counting rooms, and further said he won a record number of 71 million legal votes, "The most EVER for a sitting President!"

Trump first tweeted: "I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT." "THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!," he tweeted again. In a third tweet, the POTUS wrote, "71,000,000 Legal Votes. The most EVER for a sitting President!"

Trump continued with the narrative that votes cast in favor of him were apparently not counted and also alleged that millions of mail-in ballots were sent to people who never asked for them. However, these tweets were flagged by Twitter for being a disputed claim about alleged election fraud. ‘Captain America’ actor Chris Evans retweeted Trump’s first tweet and wrote, “No you didn’t. You lost.”

Frustrated with Trump’s baseless claims, fans took this opportunity to jump in with very creative ideas. “Petition for Chris Evans to be the one to drag Trump out of the White House dressed as Captain America,” said one tweet. “And I'm the next Captain America..tweeting it doesn't make it real l,champ,” wrote another.

Another user requested for “freedom against fascism” as it said, “there is a request all over social media for Captain America to drag trump's ass, possibly kicking & screaming, from the White House. He has declared he won't go quietly. What say you, Captain? #CaptainAmerica for freedom against fascism!”

“Y'know, after January 20th, Trump will legally be a civilian, which means that @ChrisEvans might actually be able to find a way to punch him in the teeth dressed as #CaptainAmerica,” read another tweet. While a Trump supporter had a contrary opinion as they wrote, “So sad to read the Captain America’s actor is against the one who was making America better. Very disappointing. I’m a worker, not a millionaire and even tho I’ve been doing better paying my bills and with my health care and at work since Trump became president.”

Another fan thanked Chris Evans writing, “I am grateful to @ChrisEvans for his vocal allyship. A straight, white man, aware of his privilege and using his platform to denounce Trump’s hateful rhetoric. Meant so much to me. Then launching @ASP to educate and bring folks together. No one more suited to be Captain America.”
