2020年美國總統大選早成定局，但落敗的川普總統卻遲遲不肯認輸，更拒絕配合政權交接工作。不過川普15日在推特首次及「他（拜登）之所以獲勝，是因為選舉被操縱了」，讓各界一度誤認川普終於願意承認失敗。不過川普兩小時後發推澄清「我什麼也不認」，他還在半天之內連發二十多則推特，強調贏的是自己、美國憲法已被破壞、指控民主黨人的種種選舉舞弊—看來想讓白宮釘子戶認輸，恐怕還早得很。
He won because the Election was Rigged. NO VOTE WATCHERS OR OBSERVERS allowed, vote tabulated by a Radical Left privately owned company, Dominion, with a bad reputation & bum equipment that couldn’t even qualify for Texas (which I won by a lot!), the Fake & Silent Media, & more! https://t.co/Exb3C1mAPg

川普15日凌晨在推特轉推一則福斯（Fox News）主持人瓦特斯（Jesse Watters）的推文時大吐苦水：「他（拜登）之所以獲勝，是因為選舉被操縱了。監票員和觀察員不得進入（計票中心），選票由激進左派私人公司Dominion統計，這家公司名聲不佳，設備不合格，甚至沒資格進入德州（我大勝！），造假與沉默的媒體等等！」雖然川普的指控都是老招數，但他首次提及「拜登獲勝」一事，讓外界紛紛猜測，川普是不是終於願意傲嬌地認輸了？
當然不是！
其實川普在相隔沒有幾分鐘的下一則推特裡，又開始指控郵寄投票的種種問題。像是投票設備在投票日的種種故障，其實都是民主黨人試圖偷走選票時被抓包，不過沒被抓到的舞弊舉動還是有一大堆。雖然推特在川普的推文底下強調「這種選舉舞弊的指控是有爭議的」，但仍有26萬人按讚、5.8萬人轉推，川普也繼續指控郵寄投票就是一場「噁心的笑話」。
All of the mechanical “glitches” that took place on Election Night were really THEM getting caught trying to steal votes. They succeeded plenty, however, without getting caught. Mail-in elections are a sick joke!

He only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA. I concede NOTHING! We have a long way to go. This was a RIGGED ELECTION!

Watch @RudyGiuliani interview on @MariaBartiromo this morning at 10:00. Doing a great job exposing the Rigged Election Hoax!

川普同時也繼續在推特上稱讚他的律師朱利安尼（Rudy Giuliani），認為他接受福斯採訪時揭露了民主黨人操縱選舉的騙局。或許是發現了媒體對他推文「表態認輸」的解讀，川普一小時後在推特上強調「他（拜登）只是在假新聞的眼裡贏了。我絕不認輸！我們還有很長的路要走，這就是一場作弊的選舉！」
