President Donald Trump has drawn comparism between the U.S election system and the ones obtainable in third world nations in the global south.

On Saturday, Trump cast aspersions on the American institutions in multiple posts, blaming them for his election loss to President-elect Joe Biden.

From the U.S judiciary to the intelligence community and the American media, Trump carpeted them all. However, he continues to make repeated claims of electoral fraud as he has lost all efforts to reverse the November 3 presidential election outcome.

“Courts are bad, the FBI and “Justice didn’t do their job, and the United States Election System looks like that of a third world country”, Trump tweeted.

“Freedom of the press has been gone for a long time, it is Fake News, and now we have Big Tech (with Section 230) to deal with. But when it is all over, and this period of time becomes just another ugly chapter in our Country’s history, WE WILL WIN!!!”, he added.

In an earlier tweet, Trump had rallied Republican senators to upend Joe Biden’s election by the electoral college in early January, something that political commentators have described as day-dreaming.

“Time for Republican Senators to step up and fight for the Presidency, like the Democrats would do if they had actually won. The proof is irrefutable! Massive late night mail-in ballot drops in swing states, stuffing the ballot boxes (on video), double voters, dead voters.” Trump wrote.
