With his re-election chances fading as more votes are counted in a handful of battleground states, US President Donald Trump launched an extraordinary assault on the country’s democratic process from the White House on Thursday, falsely claiming the election was being “stolen” from him.
Offering no evidence, Trump lambasted election workers and alleged fraud in the states where results from a dwindling set of uncounted votes are pushing Democrat Joe Biden nearer to victory.
“This is a case where they’re trying to steal an election,” Trump said, who spoke for about 15 minutes in the White House briefing room before leaving without taking questions.
As the world awaits results, Twitterati has witnessed some top-notch content over the last few days. Pakistanis, particularly, have been practising (and excelling) the meme game, along with some rib-tickling videos. We bring you some of the best!

And some thoughts:
It's weird for a state that's basically the capital for gambling and casinos being slow in counting. Just bring in the poker table dealers for counting those damn votes. #Nevada

I have seen Donald Trump's face more than my own face in the last two days. I don't feel okay about this.
