January 10, 2021 at 8:07 am EST By Taegan Goddard
Banned from social media and abandoned by some staff after inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol, President Donald Trump and a dwindling circle of advisers plan a defiant final week in office, Bloomberg reports.
Trump is confident Vice President Mike Pence and members of his cabinet wont attempt to remove him under the 25th Amendment, the people said. Pence is dismissive of the idea of trying to use that authority to drive Trump from office.
The president and some allies also believe Democrats are overreaching by trying to once again impeach him One adviser called Democratic consideration of impeachment a political gift to Trump.

(16,616 posts)1. From the Bloomberg article:
Trump plans to run out the clock on his four years in office by highlighting what he believes are his biggest accomplishments, including the barrier his administration built on at least part of the U.S. border with Mexico. A trip to Alamo, Texas, near the border is expected on Tuesday, a White House spokesman said.
Trump is also preparing at least one more round of pardons, and will try a final time to advance his administrations effort to bring Big Tech to heel, the people said, though it isnt clear what he may do.
