The United States (US) incumbent President Donald Trump is yet to come to terms with the fact that he has lost to Democrat Joe Biden in the presidential election.
Trump’s wife Melania is said to have since joined the president’s inner circle advising him to accept Biden’s victory and concede defeat.
A source told CNN on Sunday, November 8, the First Lady, who is yet to publicly comment on the election results, advised her husband the time had come for him to accept defeat.
Trump’s refusal to accept the results had reportedly created a rift in his inner circle.
Apart from Melania, Trump’s son-in-law and his chief advisor Jared Kushner also urged him to accept the results.
On the other hand, his two sons Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump advised him to refute the results and urged the Republicans to also publicly reject the results.
As was reported by earlier on Wednesday, November 4, Trump had earlier taken to Twitter to allege there were irregularities in the presidential election.
The president alleged that Biden and his party were trying to “steal the election” and threatened “we will never let them do it.”
Sensing a possible defeat, Trump said he would never allow Biden to win the election claiming there was vote-stealing.
The Republican leader who was seeking a second and final term in office said he will challenge the results in the Supreme Court.
