Trump returns to White House amid jeers and taunting songs

Trump has defiantly refused to concede to President-elect Joe Biden

Nov 7, 2020

After losing his reelection bid, President Donald Trump returned to Washington, D.C. where jubilant citizens were celebrating his defeat.

Thousands gather at Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House to celebrate the announcement that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will be the 46th President of the United States on November 7, 2020 in Washington, DC.

On Saturday afternoon, the president’s motorcade returned from his golf club in Virginia, traveling along roads that had been cleared of other cars and people. But as he drew closer to the White House, Trump was greeted with boos and raised middle fingers. The crowd chanted, “Loser, loser, loser,” and they sprinkled in a mixture of profanities as the president’s motorcade rolled past.

After losing his bid for a second term, Trump has defiantly refused to concede to President-elect Joe Biden, and is threatening court action to challenge his Democratic opponent’s win. Trump is the first president to lose reelection since George H.W. Bush lost to Bill Clinton in 1992.

Twitter users wasted no time in reacting to Trump’s unusual homecoming.
