Trump May Hold Rally During Biden's Inauguration

Trump May Hold Rally During Biden’s Inauguration

"SNIP.....


“In the twilight of his presidency, Donald Trump is discussing different ways to disrupt the impending Joe Biden era, chief among them by announcing another run against him,” the Daily Beast reports.

“According to three people familiar with the conversations, the president, who refuses to acknowledge he lost the 2020 election as he clearly did, has not just talked to close advisers and confidants about a potential 2024 run to reclaim the White House but about the specifics of a campaign launch. The conversations have explored, among other things, how Trump could best time his announcement so as to keep the Republican Party behind him for the next four years. Two of these knowledgeable sources said the president has, in the past two weeks, even floated the idea of doing a 2024-related event during Biden’s inauguration week, possibly on Inauguration Day, if his legal effort to steal the 2020 election ultimately fails.”

All 3 major networks and the Cable shows will be showing the inauguration before and after events. It will be different due to COVID, but a lot of people will be watching.

a few days ago and added that he will probably charge his cult an attendance fee to pay for his campaign, lawsuits, RNC, etc. That is what he is going to do when he is out of office to scam $$$ from them and they are all too happy to pay big bucks to see their dear leader. His ego and his pocketbook need it, especially to distract from the attention paid to Biden. He will be a no show and have a rally instead.

classroom management for children like him is separation from the group. They hate that. They desire attention and normally this works really well. How do we separate Donny from the group? Prison in solitary confinement would destroy him.

As of Noon on Jan 20th, the taxpayers are off the hook and he no longer has access to AF1 or Marine1. Everyone who helps to put together a rally will have to be hired independently. Also, the networks are not going to cover him while the inauguration is taking place.

That money might be better spent on defending himself from all the lawsuits that will be coming his way.

Jan/Feb, 2021. Dislike of Trump is extreme in those who see him unfavorably. A lot of DOJ/prosecutor types relish the opportunity to throw everything AND the kitchen sink at him. That Trump insists on staying in the public limelight makes him hard to ignore. Even prosecutors who want to give him a pass would pay for that mistake.

So, go Donnie, go! Keep making messes.

And see what it's like trying to put on a rally when you're no longer the media's bright, shiny new object or president of the United States.

Among other things, you won't even merit a split-screen, you can't make the taxpayers foot the bill,and your drastically scaled back Secret Service detail might actually let the fans you despise and look down on get closer to you than you like.

This should be fun to watch - if only you get an coverage.

This is just another way for him to play victim. January 20, is a Wednesday. The amount of people attending would be minimal, and the networks are going to devote all their time to the inauguration. Yet, he'll turn around and complain the media didn't cover his event that was "hugely attended." He's irrelevant.

The resident of the White House couldn't be gracious for a few hours if his life depended on it. He's the very model of a sore loser.

If he does throw himself a pity party - who's going to pay for it? He won't have Air Force 1 to use after noon, no government funds, Secret Service protection goes down to a minimum, the Mall in DC is probably already booked, and any event planners that he hasn't screwed over yet are probably busy. He may be able to boast that he'll have a bigger crowd than at Biden's inauguration, but only because Biden and Harris, being sensible people, will be limiting contacts and crowd size.

One little hitch: stadium management, City Parks and Rec, & the shuttle bus company all want payment up front, and they want the checks to clear before you get your permits.

So long, sucker!

Pretty close to none is my guess.
Especially with his history of sticking municipal locales with all the bills.
He might get one of the wack-a-doo universities to bite, like Bob Jones or Liberty.

I'm confident Washington's city government and National Parks Service would try to thwart Trump in selecting a same-day rally location, but you know Dolt 45 wants to see the Red Hats and his homegrown terrorists mix it up with the inauguration crowd.

"Illegitimate Biden stole this election from you and me, and now you no longer have stand back and stand by!"
