Trump attends ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day, while transition chaos continues

President Trump attended a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday in honor of Veterans Day — but stayed mum about his refusal to concede the election.

Trump swayed visibly as he stood next to Vice President Mike Pence in a heavy rain and saluted a wreath honoring fallen heroes.

The president did not speak at the brief event that marks his first public appearance since last Thursday.

Instead he’s been airing his grievances on Twitter, casting doubt on President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

The Wednesday ceremony came just two hours after Trump blasted a Philadelphia GOP election leader who dismissed his claims of fraud as “completely ridiculous” in a CNN interview.

“He refuses to look at a mountain of corruption & dishonesty. We win!” Trump tweeted about City Commissioner Al Schmidt.

Trump has tweeted similar claims about widespread fraud in other battleground states that he lost like Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin.

The Associated Press called the race for Biden on Saturday, with the Democratic candidate winning 290 electoral votes.

There was no sign Wednesday if Trump planned to address the nation anytime soon. He has also sowed worries with the military by abruptly firing Defense Secretary Mark Esper and appointing loyalists to key positions.

Trump’s campaign has filed several lawsuits in various states, but the courtroom battles have fizzled so far. Election officials from both parties insist that the election was free and fair.

Despite the reality of Biden’s win, most Republican lawmakers are backing Trump’s effort to claim the election was stolen from him.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Cal.) are both backing Trump’s push to cling to power.

Some Republicans say they are waiting for states to certify the results of the Nov. 3 before they will accept Biden’s win.

But Trump has showed no sign whatsoever of backing down and accepting defeat.
