After Donald Trump’s comments during the final presidential debate on Wednesday, his son Eric Trump clarifies what he thinks his father meant about the future election results, reports NBC.
In response to the question asked on debate night on if he would accept the results of the election if it turned out that he lost to Hillary Clinton, Trump would only say that that he would decide at the time, and would keep America in “suspense”. Clinton’s response included the entirely correct observation that his words were “horrifying”, and was the response felt by many. The United States has had enjoyed one of, if not the, longest runs of peaceful transitions of power. When Trump does not give a direct answer on if he will accept the results of the election, it results in an apprehension for some that we may not have the peaceful transition that we have come to expect.
The younger Trump stated in an interview with ABC’s “This Week” his own interpretations of what his father meant:
“I think what my father is saying is ‘I want a fair election’. If it’s a fair outcome he will absolutely accept it, there’s no question about it.”
This was stated among his, his father’s, and some of his father’s followers’ own beliefs that the only way that Clinton could win is through a rigged election. Allegations that Clinton, or at least the Democratic party, is behind the women coming forward with claims of sexual assault against Trump have been brought forward by Trump himself, and that the “mainstream media” has a bias against him. Evidence for both accusations have not been revealed.
With election day on November 8, there isn’t a lot of time before the results will be in and the country will see how each presidential candidate will react to the results. Eric Trump says about his father that, “He’ll fight for this country and he’ll always fight for himself and he believes in a right and a wrong.”
