We're far from out of the woods, Trump will try to burn it all down on his way out

I fully expect him to do everything in his power to leave the country as an utterly unfixable wreck so the Republicans can blame joe in two years when it's not fixed. He'll veto any further stimulus and do everything he can to hinder the covid containment effort.

Everyone will blame Biden when it’s not fixed by February. And by March expect the cries of:

“Isn’t it time for Biden to own this pandemic/economy/etc. ?”

I hope Joe has a plan. Because trump and the gop do, and it’s to repeat 2008-2010 and get everyone to forget that Trump fucked things up, and instead blame democrats for not cleaning up the mess fast enough.

Same m.o. as always. It’s never the republicans fault for making the mess, it’s always Democrats fault for not cleaning it up fast enough.

His team is excellent and they've thought of everything. They threw EVERYTHING at him and he still won!

He'll continue to win going forward.

Sure, he can be a nuisance for a bit, but he can’t do any worse at COVID than he’s already done (or not done)

I won’t be surprised if the government shuts down Dec 11.

He's too incompetent to do anything all by himself.
