The Wrong Time for Stolen Election Talk

I have to agree with the New York Post when they say President T ump, your legacy is secure — stop the 'stolen election' rhetoric.

"The math is looking near-impossible for President Trump to win re-election. But he should take pride in what he’s done for the nation and the world these last four years." 

If this were any other year, this legal battle wouldn't look so bad. But the optics of refusing to admit defeat and issuing legal challenges while a pandemic rages in our country look very bad. Accept the loss, help Biden with the transition, and be as gracious as possible these last few weeks in order to go out on a positive note.

This is what he should be focusing on now.  From USA Today: "The upward trajectory of coronavirus cases in the U.S. continued Wednesday with the country setting a new mark with more than 136,000 new infections, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
That development came a day after the U.S. reached 1 million cases in November alone and COVID-19 hospitalizations surpassed 60,000 for the first time. Hospitalizations have more than doubled in less than two months, the COVID Tracking Project reported Wednesday.
The number of Americans hospitalized due to COVID-19 has risen almost 50% in the last two weeks. On Wednesday, the U.S. surpassed 240,000 deaths caused by the coronavirus, the largest number in the world. The U.S. has 4.3% of the global population but 18.8% of the reported coronavirus deaths."
