Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Literally not leaving the White House/presidency carries far to much person risk for Trump.

I tend to agree with those that think he'll move to Mar a Lago well before the inauguration and mad tweet about how the election was stolen. This would clearly be divisive and damaging to the Republic but isn't so obviously illegal that he'd be prosecuted.

Mostly Agree.

I'm not sure that Trump will play along on Inauguration Day. I think that there is a good chance he will just happen to be out of town that day. But I don't see any real chance of him trying to stay in the WH while the new POTUS is moving in. He is way too much of a coward to try something like that.

I think that his options are limited to ones that pose no risk to himself. That means lots of legal challenges, however baseless, as well as trying to manipulate the selection of electors. But a coup, where he might end up getting shot? Can't see Trump having he balls to try that.

Seems like a good day for him to have a HUGE rally outside of DC, then claim to have had a bigger crowd than sleepy Joe.

Three more White House Staffers tested positive for the virus today. Maybe we'll see a transition due to attrition. At this rate....

Man, i hope it's soon though, that place needs one hell of a disinfecting. Geez!

The election is not over. That being said- could you really see Trump being dragged from the WH. imagine Obama being dragged from the WH.

Warren Harding and Cal Coolidge, too?

That's right! They were the original Trump/Pence combo too

The sequel is always worse, in this case much worse.

Oh boy. “The election is not over”...

Can you interpret that then for us?

Fair enough. Although more work than I am really interested in investing here. But ok, you asked repectfully, so here goes. Here is my transcription of his answer to the first question:

Pompeo: “There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.” – (said while laughing). Laughing – hint – it’s a joke to those who are not in a state of hysteria.

Sure, it a joke, everything is a joke. He certainly didn't mean it to suggest Trump didn't lose the election, or add fuel to the conspiracy theories. Certainly no Trump supporter would believe this and take action, right? What's the harm? It's not like misinformation on this topic is a big deal.

Completely disagree real obvi. Sorry. Words and timing matter at his level.

You are wrong. And your hysteria helps the GOP.

Rubbish, complacency helps the GOP. Calling out their immoral behaviors does not help them at all.

We could all use a little laughter, but who exactly is sitting there laughing along with him? Both sides are fired up and looking for a reason to continue the useless bickering and pointless back and forth. Everything he said AFTER his little joke was fine. But, his timing, was poor at best.

Agreed that his timing was poor. And he should have understood his audience better.

My only point was that it was no big deal - nothing to justify such hysterics.

What you are calling a hysterical reaction is amazement and disapproval. The true dangerous hysterical reaction to these comments can come from the Trump supporters.

Why is Trump acting this way. He lost the election. The American people have spoken. It is hard to get 5 million (and counting) voters to conspire to beat Trump.

He should have never made fun of Arizona's native son, McCain. He should have never made fun of black lives matter, He should have never condoned white supremists, he should have more people of color in his cabinet.

He can whine all he want to, He was a very bad person and a less than average president.

Don't go away mad, just go away spoiled brat.

It is over

Took a scan of the last several pages. I didnt know how jealous so many of you are of flagpole. Racket and Sally Vix are the most jealous. Funny that any of you question how smart flagpole is. His writing is better than yours. The points he makes are better. He has owned people here for years on a variety of subjects. He is armed with a deep knowledge of the things he talks about and you jokers cant come close to competing with him. I do not know why you are so jealous of him. Flagpole is the best poster, the smartest poster letsrun has ever had. It's not even close. He's a meme here. He is letsrun. He is better and smarter than you or me, and I'm pretty smart. I laugh at Sally Vix trying to get his attention while flagpole ignores him. Racket is just pure jealous.

I think he is less and less likely to play along if the enabling continues. The next loyalty test comes when the courts shoot his allegations down. After that it's the official pledging of the EC votes. He doesn't quite understand what it means to have lost the election and the reality is it may help him to play this out until the bitter end (zip ties), as clearly laid out in the above post. Think about it - his whole strategy has been divisiveness and corruption. He just became one of the biggest political losers of all time while getting 9 million additional votes and his party keeping the Senate majority and taking scalps in the House. You think he's sore enough??? He believes from the bottom of his heart that he's been wronged and he's got people around him pretending he's still king. He's not going to do down without breaking everything on his way out.

Now do biff and Igy

As a WH staffer in these circumstances, it might be smart to fake a positive test

Nope, if he just slithers away to Mar a Virus the 70m will consider him a coward for not having fought for them. He won't burn his following. He will double down as he always has. He needs a much better out than just a "fake" loss to Biden. He has to look like the ultimate victim coming out of this, that's the only game he knows.
