He might just bow out. Saying something like "I've decided to let things be, I didn't lose, but the deep state won..." blah blah blah. This only happens if Mitch and other leadership can promise him a spot in their party. This very likely won't happen, but the fact that he's golfing right now means maybe he's already at stage 5 and accepting that he lost. The other option, the more likely option, is that he drags this out for as long as he possibly can through court battles. The goal here is to just make a mess of things. Dragging out the game and hoping some thing breaks his way. Or he could just go nuclear. Doing everything he can to take power, this would be a more aggressive coup. Threatening any electors out there to vote for him, give him the votes, and mobilizing his supporters. I think the 2nd option is much more likely than the other two. Biden won't be confirmed president-elect for weeks until it is clear there is no legal pathway for Trump.
As curious as I am to see what he does, I’m also curious to see how all the R’s go about abandoning ship.
on this basis, Congress can impeach him again. this time, even Moscow mitch, just to distance the GOP from the dotard, would go along w the effort
I think Trump is mostly focused on himself and his own legacy. I think that means his focus will be on actions that protect him and his legacy primarily, then on actions that will make the next administration look worse than his. He'll probably won't be concerned with a stimulus package for people, he'll probably push states to not enact any sort of safety measures during this covid spike, and he'll probably fire anyone that isn't extremely loyal.
It could be either extreme, catatonic to starting WW3 To the narcissist, the rage is directed towards the person that they feel has slighted them; to other people, the rage is incoherent and unjust. This rage impairs their cognition, therefore impairing their judgment. During the rage they are prone to shouting, fact distortion and making groundless accusations.[21] In his book The Analysis of the Self, Kohut explains that expressions caused by a sense of things not going the expected way blossom into rages, and narcissists may even search for conflict to find a way to alleviate their pain or suffering.[22] He also noted how psychoanalytic treatment might itself be experienced by a patient as an unbearable narcissistic injury.[22]
trump is literally capable of anything. I think he will attempt to cause as much destruction within and without our government as he can. How I hope I am wrong. I'd much rather the b*stard played golf.
You guys overblowing this. He's not going do anything extreme because he wants to stay in politics. He'll come out with a tweet blaming the fake news fake media and he'll blame the china virus. He'll say he should have won even though everyone was against him and blah blah. He'll go out and start trump network next year and take fox news following. Trump is lowkey happy because of how Foxnews handled Arizona they showed alot of their base that their part of the "fake news." This will help him take alot of their viewership. Win win for everyone.
He will do what he did with covid briefings. Disengage. He won’t care. I bet the next two months Pence will be the one doing the actual day to day work of the president.
I think is a possibility. I think Biden wants to have a smooth transition and wants to get the country past Trump as soon and easily as possible.
I honestly think the best thing Trump can do for himself and the country is to resign and Leave it to Pence to handle the transition. Pence very well could pardon Trump and then Trump gets on a plane with his family and leaves the country to avoid state charges. He can go to Turkey, the UAE or some other country that looks up to him and he has business interests in. Trump staying in as a lame duck isn't going to appeal to him and that means that he could cause trouble. Trump staying in the US and staying and being relevant is going to be a reminder that he lost and will be a headache to not just the Biden Admin, but also to Republicans trying to move on. Further it will expose him to state liability and likely a host of lawsuits.
