Of course Trump is trying to burn it all down. What else did you expect?
The days since former Vice President Joe Biden won the 2020 Presidential election have been intense, aggravating and long — but at least everyone is behaving exactly as expected.
President Donald Trump is refusing to concede, just like we all knew he would. He's golfing and seething and tweeting that the election was "rigged." At the same time his public presidential schedule is empty, and even though coronavirus cases are hitting record levels, he has not addressed the public in about a week. He doesn't have the guts.
Naturally, the Trump administration is recalcitrant as well. It is refusing to help Biden's team with the transition. It is reshuffling the Department of Defense in a way that is disturbing the national security community. And — just to add some pettiness to all of this — it is threatening to fire anyone on the inside who starts looking for a job. Harrowing, but again, totally expected from these people.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wants to win two special elections in Georgia in early January which will decide which party controls the Senate. So he's adding fuel to Trump's fire in an attempt to turn out the base, refusing to reject Trump's baseless legal challenges to the election, and further eroding America's faith in the democratic process. This could have a long term negative impact on our democracy, but that's fine for McConnell — which shouldn't surprise anyone.
