Rally-goers congregating in Washington DC in support of Donald Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud have swarmed the US president’s SUV as he drove past the event on Saturday morning.
Mr Trump waved at supporters as he left the White House, heading to his golf club in Virginia for the 282nd game of his presidency.
When he returned from golf he retreated into the executive mansion to tweet out thanks to his supporters in the streets and repeat debunked conspiracy theories regarding voter fraud.
This came the day after Mr Trump appeared to come closer than ever in admitting defeat to Joe Biden in the presidential election.
On Friday, he called the electoral college result in Arizona “a very close loss”, before telling reporters at a coronavirus vaccine briefing - in his first public comments since election day - that “time will tell” if his administration is replaced by a Biden one.
