Donald Trump Says ‘Losing Is Never Easy’ For Him As He Claims He Hasn’t Written Concession Speech – By Kristine Lofgren (Inquisitr) / Nov 3 2020
On Tuesday, Donald Trump told reporters that “losing is never easy” for him and that he hadn’t prepared a concession speech to give in the event that he loses to his opponent Joe Biden, The Washington Examiner reported. He said that he hadn’t prepared an acceptance speech either.
The comments came during an appearance at the Republican National Committee’s headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. Trump thanked his campaign staff and spoke about the expected outcome of the night.
“I’m not thinking about concession speech or acceptance speech yet,” Trump said. “Hopefully we’ll be only doing one of those two. Winning is easy. Losing is never easy. Not for me, it’s not.”
