The Trump campaign's efforts to overturn the election results are widely seen by Wall Street as a desperate sideshow destined to fail. But CNN reports JPMorgan is telling clients, 'Not so fast.' After all, this is 2020. According to CNN, JPMorgan Asset Management's Michael Cembalest says there's still a chance that this process could descend into chaos. The chairman of market and investment strategy warned in a report Wednesday of the "remote risk of an American horror story" and "constitutional mayhem." The Market and Investment Strategy chairman pointed to President Donald Trump's Tuesday night firing of the top US election security official. He also noted Attorney General William Barr's decision to authorize prosecutors to probe alleged voter fraud. Bottom line: a LOT of very unorthodox things have to happen for Trump to be reelected. Even so, I'm not ruling anything out. Michael Cembalest Chairmain, Market and Investment Strategy, JPMorgan Asset Management

Doubtless salt to his wound, Trump's favorite network--Fox News--and media outlets across the board have also declared Biden the projected winner of the election. Business Insider reports that as a whole, EU leaders and even Israel and Turkey have congratulated Biden. Only Russia's Vladimir Putin, China's Xi Xing Ping, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro have yet to join in.
Eight days before his inauguration, Donald Trump staged his first press conference since July. The president-elect was grilled by on his potential conflicts of interests regarding his business ties, his friendliness towards Vladimir Putin, and his tax returns. Could these criticisms be grounds for impeachment on Day One? And with Trump hitting back hard at reporters and singling out “failing news organisations”, how will the press cover a President who undermines them to such an extent?

It's time to make the iPhone great again! A gold plated Donald Trump-inspired iPhone 7 was unveiled by luxury-goods company Caviar in Moscow as part of their Supremo Collection of customised iPhones dedicated to world leaders. The Trump iPhone costs 197,000 roubles or about $3,200, but it's still somewhat cheaper than their best-selling Vladimir Putin iPhone, which sells for over $4 thousand.
