Ivanka Trump celebrated her father ‘winning’ in Alaska and it backfired spectacularly
As Donald Trump continues to refuse to concede the election which he lost to Joe Biden, his daughter Ivanka Trump went on Twitter to celebrate projections that he would win Alaska (and the three electoral college votes that come with it).
Ivanka Trump retweeted the Associated Press, which made the call, and you can probably see what’s coming.
BREAKING: President Trump and Senate Republicans win Alaska, overwhelmingly and by a massive 20 point spread!
Put AK in the books for @realDonaldTrump! Congratulations Senator @DanSullivan_AK!
Thank you Alaska! 🇺🇸 https://t.co/pr7Gz0S7q1

The Associated Press has called election results since 1848 but it was precisely them doing that – in Biden’s favour – that so angered Trump.
Since when does the Lamestream Media call who our next president will be? We have all learned a lot in the last two weeks!

And the takedowns came thick and fast.
So the media *can* call elections. https://t.co/p4xz76c0J0

Wait…only 75% of the votes have been counted in Alaska.
So….the media *can* call elections?
But only in states your dad wins in.

To conclude …
Trump logic: If the media calls it a Trump win, then it's okay.
If the media calls it a Trump loss, it is the result of
FRAUD
DECEPTION
DECEIT
THE RETURN OF ELVIS PRESLEY
AND ALIENS LIVING AMONG US. https://t.co/24uGp3Yg68
