TRUMP HAS GIVEN UP...

being potus.

TRUMP HAS GIVEN UP being potus.

He's been sulking and pouting and hiding since Joe Biden won the election and America said "YOU"RE FIRED!" to Trump.

Where is the CiC and his words of condolences to the families of the American soldiers who lost their lives?

5 US soldiers among 7 peacekeepers killed in Sinai helicopter crash


Trump is too busy tweeting and blubbering about non-existent fraud everywhere he lost.

COVID-19 is raging through the US, and Trump is too busy licking his malignant narcissistic wounds to talk to the American people about the pandemic that's killed almost a quarter of a million Americans.

However he KNOWS he in big trouble with the State of NY. He also has Uuuge outstanding loans due soon to unknown people. Putin comes to mind. Sadly, not, he has lost his usefulness to Putin. That is not going to end well.

It's tea time and I am not talking about his golf game.

Also, I believe he's doing anything and everything in his power to try and not be shown the door. But, in the end, no matter the damage he does on his way out to our democracy or the nation, he's leaving.

So, you're with me he's not exiting the building and heading to Russia? I've said for sometime now Russia has no real use for him post January 20th 2021. Beyond leaving him here spewing his hate and division and miking him for any intel he's withheld, he's useless to them after that. There's no off ramp there for the twit.

what intelligence? fellow DUers are asking here)...

trump wouldn't understand any 'secrets' or 'technology' anyways, and thus wouldn't be able to give away any coherent details of any such 'secrets' away anyways (enough for foreign adversaries to figure out what in the heck he's talking/ranting on about).

Besides, I strongly suspect that such secrets that are so sensitive etc. never made it into his presence, if I were guarding such a sensitive secret...

Now that's also waning. At least the flurry of post election coverage is by and large, here and abroad, mocking him as being a petty little sore loser. Add to that the international leaders reaching out to President-elect Biden. He's feeling his power being wretched from his tiny little orange hands even as I type this. The walls for Donny are closing in more and more every day.

will find himself at the bottom of a birdcage.

He's royally screwed. he can't leave the country for good, unless he goes to a place with no extradition. His Secret Service will not be able to provide him with protection at the level they can here. He can't stay here and live comfortably because he will always worry about indictment.

He won't be able to wheel and deal like he did before his presiduncy. Even if he resigns and Pence gives him a pardon, that is only good for federal crimes he has committed. Next year, when he files taxes the IRS can start anew. He will no longer be able to hire the "brightest." He is toxic to one's career and they won't risk it.

The bright spot, Winkin, Blinkin, and Nod will no longer have Secret Service protection.

26. Trump says he will pardon himself. What a bunch of horse dung
Sat Nov 14, 2020, 12:04 AM
Nov 2020

And his kids, and his cohorts, ad infinitum.

Constitutional provision
The pardon powers of the President are based on Article Two of the United States Constitution (Section 2, Clause 1), which provides: The President ... shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of impeachment.

Why are Republicans administrations always having to pardon their own administrations for major, high crimes. Not a Democrat problem ever just (R)s.

Even if they had let him 'win' to begin with, he would never have survived this long. He knows this, too, as does Alex Jones and most of the conspiracy mongers. They're all milking people's paranoia, just like tv evangelists milk people's uncertainty and their sense of guilt.

that he got real looking people to stand around him to make the charade look plausible. Without GOP supplied/approved props he doesn't have a chance. Maddox, Sessions, DeVos etal, (ultimately even Barr) were only there for the scenery. If he'll stay on script, they might keep him around as part of the furnishings for a few months. Probably on a trial basis (no intended pun). He'll fail at that trial, too. I'm betting they don't sponsor or condone his commentary for the 2022's. Fox may but the GOP money won't.

If Democrats ceaselessly rub republican's noses in this deadly serious buffoonery, simply providing the facts, which are plenty damning, requiring no flourish, we can run this country in the next election. If the republicans intentionally use Trump as their front man for the 2022's they're toast. The 70 mil+ votes he received are the REAL election fraud. 20% of those people won't be back. Some won't vote unless they can support their Trumpy. They'll go back in the trailer, play AGT reruns and sleep like they usually do.
