“ . . . to a second Trump Administration.“ Get it?
So, this happened: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo battled reporters over President Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the presidential election, predicting “there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration” despite the fact that former Vice President Joe Biden is the projected winner of the race. The comment from Pompeo, a top ally of the president, came during a combative news conference at the State Department on Tuesday when the Cabinet member was asked whether the agency is prepared to engage with President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team. “There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration,” Pompeo replied with a smile. Now, it was clearly intended to be jocular.
