Donald Trump Jr urges dad to 'fight to death and go to war' to expose vote fraud, slammed for 'gaslighting'
Donald Trump Jr has urged his father and President Donald Trump to 'fight to the death' over the election while pointing to unfounded claims of voter fraud and cheating after seeing Trump's voting leads in Pennsylvania and Georgia slip even more. The eldest son of Trump made the comments while speaking at a news conference taking place at the Georgia Republican Party Headquarters in Atlanta on Thursday, November 5. Trump Jr said, "I think the number one thing Donald Trump can do in this election is fight each and every one of these battles to the death so that we get full transparency in the process."
"And everyone on the Democrat side should welcome this unless they are actually cheating," he added. He had cast his doubt on the counting process and called out Democrats for ignoring election deadlines. He also claimed that boxes of invalid ballots had 'magically' appeared in Democratic states after the voting had ended.
He added, "We know that's against the law but you get in front of a Democrat judge and a Democrat city with Democrat control and it's okay. I think the Democrats are used to this from a Republican party that hasn't had a backbone - you're not going to see that this time around."
He also claimed that it was a "statistical impossibility" for his father not to receive a single vote in certain counties where an estimated 123,000 ballots were counted in the favor of Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden. He asks the crowd, "Does anyone believe that this is possible?" to which they respond saying "no".
"Because it's not, it's a statistical impossibility. It's happened not just once, it's happened over and over again. Americans need to know that this is not a banana republic and right now very few people have faith that's not the case," he continued.
He had also taken to Twitter to make the same comments. His tweet read, "The best thing for America’s future is for @realDonaldTrump to go to total war over this election to expose all of the fraud, cheating, dead/no longer in state voters, that has been going on for far too long. It’s time to clean up this mess & stop looking like a banana republic!"

Many social media users took to the comments section to slam Trump Jr for his comments. One such user had written, "At what point does one of these trumps get punished for enticing violence?" Another user commented, "Can’t wait to see this POS in handcuffs."
"How long have you had the Banana Republic comment in your back pocket Jr.? Stop with all this ridiculous carrying on. There's no fraud, no cheating. Y'all are just going to have to accept the fact that @JoeBiden will be our 46th President of the United States. Happy job hunting!!" shared yet another. "They’re literally gaslighting their followers and idk if we can snap em out of it," one said

We had earlier reported that Trump had declared a premature victory. On Wednesday morning, November 3, Trump addressed the nation, falsely claiming victory in the presidential polls despite millions of votes yet to be counted. Within minutes of his speech, several people took to social media to denounce the president's attempt to disenfranchise voters who voted by mail, and many saw the speech as "a call to action" to his base to not accept the outcome of the current election.
