Possibly A Way To Get Trump To Allow For A Proper Transition And Concede The Election......

Ignore him. Pay him no attention on any of the news shows. Don't mention his name for a week.

He so craves the attention - that he'd hold a press conference to concede and allow the transition - only to hear his name mentioned on the news again.

If you ask me - we should have ignored this guy years ago.

Maybe we should ignore him until Jan 20th, 2021 and then blast his name all around the media as he runs from the law and tries to avoid jail time.

He will go Mar-a- Lago before Christmas and stay there and not come back. That is the best case scenario,I think

They made him famous. They made him president.

They can't stop feeding his ego.

Our press is terrible.

If the media and the public had ignored this fool years ago, he would have never ended up in the White House. I remember more than once, major networks giving him airtime for no good reason and that was long before he decided to run for president. Everyone knew it was just a publicity stunt, but they went along with him anyway, trying to keep a straight face as he said the most ridiculous stuff.

This freak of nature craves attention more than money or sex. He is the out-of-control child who acts out in class just to get attention, because nothing is worse than being ignored. We've already seen that he would rather have negative publicity than no publicity. We also know that he watches television all the time, so let him turn on TV and not see his face or hear his name. Cut him off!

That's the problem with electing a sociopath for president. He'll do anything and everything to get attention.

Or a small army of brown shirts. .

I know it's fashionable to say that Trump has 70 million supporters, but only a fraction of them are Trump flag waving idiots, and a fraction of that fraction is willing to take to the streets. Compare the laughable turnout nationwide of the pro Trumpers to the anti police brutality protests. It is easy to see who has a real grievance.
That being said.... Trump is behaving like a child. A child with godlike power and no impulse control. I will ignore him when he's dead
