I just meant he won't go to heroic measures to try to overturn a legitimate loss.

Where he declares bankruptcy and leaves.

He's too lazy to fight it out - his heart has never been in it.

I could see him playing the martyr, though, telling his minions something like, "For the good of this great country, the greatest country in the history of the universe, I will not cause any trouble, because as you can see I'm the greatest EVER." Another variation of "I was so great you didn't deserve me."

11. +1, Trump commands a floor of 5% of MAGA by county. There's NO WAY the kGOP ghost him that's like

... the DNC distancing themselves away from Obama right now.

That would be political suicide and kGOP needs Trump to play king maker

The KGOP made their beds with Red Don they're going to sleep in it until he goes to jail.

3. Disagree: He needs to have the "me against them" story for any future

endeavors for himself and his Crime Family. If they buy ONN or NewsMax or Sinclair Broadcasting they need the Fox model to make it work. Only "I was robbed" will keep his Cult glued to him. Slinking away will NEVER happen IMO.

6. Then he should stay out of NY.

That would be my (unqualified) legal advice to him.

The weather's better in Floriday anyway.

probably has to live. While his trial/s are going on, he can still give speeches to his followers. FOX "News" might not take him anymore, but OAN and the rest of the Quackpot sources would have him. Jarvanka and the rest of the collaborators should be terrified. I would not be surprised to see a few of them run.

9. I think there is a good chance of this

And I truly doubt he will suffer any jail time. He's gotten away with shit his whole life. As for his finances and debt he also has goi away with not paying his way his whole life.

10. I enjoy my imagined scene of Trump hiding out in the WH with hunters intent on a new kind of trophy

stalking him, trapping him, and then -

laughing at Trump as he cowers in a pool of his own piss, tears streaming down his face, and blubbering the name "Fauci" over and over again.

that he will no doubt play the "Oh, pity me" game.

In Trump's case, it will be more of .....

The fake media doesn't like me.
Democrats weren't nice to me.
I was not treated fairly.
The China flu had to pick a time when I was president.
Some of my own people turned against me.
It wasn't my fault.


Sociopath that he is, Trump is going to try his best to make everyone feel sorry for him. Fucking asshole.

flashing a victory sign from Marine 1, or being dragged out in cuffs, I don't care. There is nothing he can do to avoid the judgement of history.

I think Attorney General Leticia James is going to have a few things to say that may change his mind
