If Trump even breathes a suggestion that the General Election should be postponed, we should immediately counter it by suggesting that the election be held on schedule but the winner is immediately inaugurated and directed to go to the White House.
On Jan 20.2021 we still hold officially ceremonies, parade and late night parties.
