That was Trump's message pre-election. Now he says he can't guarantee anything. Donald Trump says this is the reason he won last month's presidential election excerpt: "Grocery prices have skyrocketed," Trump said during an August news conference, as he stood by tables stocked with packaged foods. "When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one," he vowed.
Trump follows through on his threat and sues the Des Moines register and pollster Selzer over the poll that showed him losing to Harris by three percent. Trump won by 13%. Trump sues Iowa pollster Ann Selzer and Des Moines Register newspaper excerpt: It attacks Selzer’s reputation as a standard-bearing pollster, alleging that the polling miss showing Harris with a lead in Iowa that never materialized was intended to sway the race. The suit argues a pattern by Selzer of attempting to influence political races in favor of Democrats and that her large platform offers "a significant and impactful opportunity to deceive voters."
Trump furious about Merchan not vacating the NY hush money conviction. Trump rails against judge who refused to overturn hush-money conviction excerpt: “In a completely illegal, psychotic order, the deeply conflicted, corrupt, biased, and incompetent Acting Justice Juan Merchan has completely disrespected the United States Supreme Court, and its Historic Decision on Immunity,” wrote Trump, who returns to the White House on 20 January. In a fulminating broadside, he denounced Merchan – an experienced judge who has tried multiple complex cases in 17 years on the bench – as a “radical partisan” and accused him of writing “an opinion that is knowingly unlawful, goes against our constitution and, if allowed to stand, would be the end of the presidency as we know it”.

Trump is trying various legal options to try to stop the sentencing in his hush money criminal case and, more boldly, to vacate the conviction itself. An attempt by Trump to vacate it failed this week. Trump lost on immunity. What's next for his New York hush money conviction? excerpt: "However, Trump is also arguing that sentencing can't take place anytime soon, even if Merchan rules against tossing out the convictions. In a motion earlier this month, Trump argued Merchan would need to let him fully pursue an appeal to move the case out of Merchan's hands and into a federal court before sentencing could take place. That's another unprecedented argument for courts to address, at least when it comes to an ex-president and president-elect. It all amounts to a lot of uncertainty about the fate of Trump's hush money case."
