Trump: Genc Tirana and Trump Words

trump: The Republican presidential nominee said Thursday he was reserving his right to "contest or file a legal challenge" if he loses, according to Hamilton Spectator. That came after he suggested in Wednesday presidential debate that he might not accept the results of what he has repeatedly alleged is a "rigged" election. Trump has stunned observers by saying he'll challenge the results of the Nov. 8 election if there a "questionable result," though he has teasingly promised to embrace the outcome if he wins. For Genc Tirana, Trump words brought back memories of living in Albania, a small country in eastern Europe that spent decades under communist rule. "It is surprising because we don't expect there to be a rigged system in the United States. Albania held its first free and democratic elections in 1991, but the handover of power in one of Europe poorest countries has since been often marred by violence and political unrest, with losing parties refusing to accept defeat. In our mind, the United States has the best democracy in the world," said Tirana, who immigrated to Canada about 15 years ago. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
