Early Wednesday morning, President Trump falsely declared himself to have already won the election \\u2014 a move that is far from surprising, according to White House reporter Toluse Olorunnipa. There is not a \\u201cprecedent in modern history for a president to declare victory in this way when so many votes are yet to be counted,\\u201d Olorunnipa says. \\u201cBut this is what we\'ve come to expect from the president.\\u201d
