Trump keeps harping 'won this election by a lot', crowd outside White House chants 'you about to lose yo job'

As the news of Trump's poll defeat broke and Joe Biden was announced the 46th president on Saturday, November 7, a large number of people took to the streets in several cities in celebration

The only hit thing about outgoing President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign rallies is The Village People‘s ‘YMCA’ song that he danced on to a point where the president’s jig became a meme among his supporters online. As the news of his poll defeat broke and Joe Biden was announced the 46th president of the US on Saturday, November 7, a large number of people took to the streets in several cities in celebration playing the same song.

Outside the White House, they played ‘YMCA’. CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins tweeted a video writing, “The crowd outside the White House celebrating Joe Biden’s projected victory is blaring YMCA — the song President Trump closed out his latest rallies with.” While another tweet read, “People in front of the White House singing, “you about to lose yo job.”” The same trend continued in Washington as The Washington Post’s Hannah Jewell tweeted, “The Trump supporters are playing YMCA but the Biden supporters are the ones dancing here in Philly.”

Trump and his campaign had earlier claimed that the Democrats were "trying to rig an election” and he continued to tweet about voter fraud. This despite the lack of evidence, and the president maintained that the votes counted after Election Day are "illegal". Multiple tweets made by him were flagged down for misinformation by Twitter. “I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!” Trump tweeted. “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!” Trump wrote in an all caps tweet. “71,000,000 Legal Votes. The most EVER for a sitting President!” Trump’s last tweet so far.

With Biden’s future presidency, Kamala Harris will be the vice-president, the first woman and person of color in US history to take that position. When asked if Trump would attend Biden’s swearing-in, former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said everyone around him is saying “no”. “Everybody says that he will not do that, and that he's going to break every norm and he's going to break every tradition. And he hasn't gotten along with the past presidents. He didn't go to John McCain's funeral. He didn't go to George Herbert Walker Bush's funeral," said Scaramucci.

Trump was beaten by Democratic nominee Biden on November 7  after the 2020 US election was finally called after four days. After Trump famously closed his campaign rallies earlier this year by playing ‘YMCA',  The Village People then ordered the president to stop using their music. In a statement posted to Facebook, band leader Victor Willis said he was forced to act after Trump seemingly threatened to shoot Black Lives Matter protestors in Minneapolis. “I ask that you no longer use any of my music at your rallies especially ‘Y.M.C.A.’ and ‘Macho Man’,” Willis wrote. “Sorry, but I can no longer look the other way.”

In a short statement posted to Twitter, Biden promised to serve all Americans regardless of their political affiliations. Thanking the people of America, he shared a video writing, “From the bottom of my heart: thank you.”
