Trump finally hints at leaving White House

The United States President, Donald Trump, may have finally realized that his days in the White House are numbered as he Friday hinted about leaving the stage for an incoming president, Joe Biden, who won this month’s presidential poll under the Democratic Party.

Trump addressed the nation from the Rose Garden of the White House on Friday, breaking the longest absence from the cameras since January 2017.

In his speech on Friday, the president said his administration was not going to lockdown the economy, but added that “hopefully… whatever happens in the future, who knows which admin; it will be, I guess time will tell.”

That will be Trump’s first admission of a possible White House exit since the elections were called for Biden.

Analysts say this is the longest Trump has gone without a verbal address to the media in over 44 months — his silence lasted seven days and 17 hours.

According to a Twitter account set up to track every word from Donald Trump, @FactbaseFeed, Trump did not address the media for six days — as of November 12, 2020.

The Twitter account said Trump has been tweeting about four issues in the last week — election, COVID-19, and Fox News.

The 2020 presidential election was called for his challenger — Biden — following his win of 290 electoral college votes.

Trump has not conceded the election. His campaign has claimed voter fraud, while the president said 2.7 million of his votes were taken away from him.

The major news agencies in the US oppose Trump’s claims. Trump is on his way to becoming the US president who took the longest time to concede an election in recent history.
