just watched Robert Shrum on TMZ . . .

and he suggested that the next three months will be the most dangerous of the Trump presidency . . . among other things, he said that:

- Trump will never concede, but will spend the rest of his term trying to delegitimize the election . . .
- He won't have a sit-down with Biden (like all other outgoing presidents have done with their successors), and likely will not attend Biden's inauguration . . .
- He will continue to create as much chaos as possible by firing people and by issuing reams of executive orders . . .
- He will try to complete his campaign to obliterate environmental protections, doing things like opening areas off the Carolinas and Georgia to drilling; since he hates California, he'll especially want to open their coastal areas . . .

he had a lot more to say, but I just caught his interview while channel surfing (don't watch TMZ) and wasn't taking notes . . . apologies for not being more thorough . . . his remarks will probably end up somewhere on the net in the next few days; I'll keep an eye open and post whatever I can find . . .

1. I don't want Biden to meet with him. Maybe he can meet with Pence but I don't really want anyone

from the Biden team to meet with Trump.

We know he has no love for this country and he only wishes Biden and others harm. There is no point to it . ANd we should stop expecting it.

3. And, what could Trump possibly tell Joe that would be helpful information?

Joe already knows more about how Government works than Trump could ever learn and the career civil servants from the various agencies can bring Biden up to speed much better than Trump. All Trump would do is talk about himself and what a great job he has done. It would be a joke.

and doesn't really know anything...witness his bungling of the covic crisis where there still isn't a national policy to control it, nine months later with record new cases dalily now.

Court cases will extend beyond January and then dropped when Joe takes over. Maybe.
