The Trump Presidency 14

Not open for further replies.
Here's someone who thinks, quite seriously, that if Trump loses in 2020, he will refuse to leave the White House, and the Repubs will aid and abet him:
But as soon as that happens, if it happens, the next nightmare will begin. It may be minutes, hours, days or even weeks, but at some point between Election Day in November 2020 and Inauguration Day in January 2021, odds are strong that Trump will declare that the election was "fake news" and refuse to leave the White House.

I don't see him refusing to leave. Claiming he was cheated and really won? Wouldn't surprise me one bit. But I don't think he'd refuse to leave. I think Melania would be packed and outta there the morning after the election.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “I think we have a very real risk of losing the Presidency to Donald Trump.” I agree, and that is the only reason they play the impeach card, which cannot be legally used!

AOC's response -

Mr. President, you’re from Queens. You may fool the rest of the country, but I’ll call your bluff any day of the week. Opening an impeachment inquiry is exactly what we must do when the President obstructs justice, advises witnesses to ignore legal subpoenas, & more. Bye 👋🏽

The Koch brothers are planning to fund Democratic Party incumbents to protect them from Progressives

@FoxNews Polls are always bad for me. They were against Crooked Hillary also. Something weird going on at Fox. Our polls show us leading in all 17 Swing States. For the record, I didn’t spend 30 hours with @abcnews, but rather a tiny fraction of that. More Fake News @BretBaier

If something weird is going on at Fox, I'm encouraged. Chris Wallace, Shep Smith (sp?) and apparently now Bret Baier? The "And Friends" crew sometimes are desperate to get him off the phone. Andrew Napolitano had strong words to say about obstruction. I'm sure I'm missing someone.

I absolutely see him refusing to leave.

He's facing an obvious problem, though. He has no actual input in the election and swearing in of a new president, and once that happens, he has no further legal authority to stay in the White House. End result: he gets dragged out looking like a fool. I's say "kicking and screaming", but he's more the type that would just go limp and whine.

I'd be far more concerned with him using his goons to interfere before the election, eg. ordering Barr to scrape up fake charges against the dem nominee and the like, than anything else.

My guess: weeks before the Inauguration, Trump will move out of the White House to Mar-a-Lago, forcing everyone who needs to do business with him to come there and spend money there.

And he will declare the place to be "The True White House in Exile", and continue to hold court before running again in 2024 - because it is so lucrative.

FTFY

The Koch brothers aren't particularly Republican, they just played a huge role in twisting the Republican Party's objectives and policy to be in line with their own desires via a variety of schemes. Ever seen the Libertarian Party platform for the election that one of the Koch brothers was on the ticket as VP? It was apparently widely regarded as extremist even for Libertarians and was, effectively, a path to anarchy, in the end.

Michael Cohen was warning of much the same, for that matter. And Bill Maher, to add another somewhat recognizable name.

Thousands of people are already lined up in Orlando, some two days before tomorrow nights big Rally. Large Screens and food trucks will be there for those that can’t get into the 25,000 capacity arena. It will be a very exciting evening! Make America Great Again!

The story in the @nytimes about the U.S. escalating attacks on Russia’s power grid is Fake News, and the Failing New York Times knows it. They should immediately release their sources which, if they exist at all, which I doubt, are phony. Times must be held fully accountable!

He's crediting the NYT with his attention! Must be because there's "something wrong" at Fox today.

Neil Cavuto has not been as vocal in criticizing Trump, but will point out where he goes astray on economic matters.
