How will Trump leave the White House

i think he is just going to sulk away

Innocence tube

FWIW, in Jane Mayer's recent Trump piece in the New Yorker (pre-election)

Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney, told me, “He will not concede. Never, ever, ever.” He went on, “I believe he’s going to challenge the validity of the vote in each and every state he loses—claiming ballot fraud, seeking to undermine the process and invalidate it.”

...

Cohen is so certain that Trump will lose that he recently placed a ten-thousand-dollar bet on it. “He’ll blame everyone except for himself,” Cohen said. “Every day, he’ll rant and rave and yell and scream about how they stole the Presidency from him. He’ll say he won by millions and millions of ballots, and they cheated with votes from dead people and people who weren’t born yet. He’ll tell all sorts of lies and activate his militias. It’s going to be a pathetic show. But, by stacking the Supreme Court, he’ll think he can get an injunction. Trump repeats his lies over and over with the belief that the more he tells them the more people will believe them. We all wish he’d just shut up, but the problem is he won’t.”

Michael Cohen pretty otm?

I’m not sure this will come to anything though. In the end I doubt he’ll put himself in a position to be dragged out of the white house.

Oh, he won't. But he will drag this on and on and never concede.

They key question is whether the Republican Party will go along with the idea that this was a “stolen” election. So far they’ve always gone along with him, but when he is out of office the political calculus might be different.

He'll go meekly, leaving a mess and inadequate tips for the hired help.


iirc for his faults Trump is a big tipper

My friend's exgf worked at his golf course in Scotland and still had a £50 note Trump had tipped her as a souvenir some years later

I would have spent it

Innocence tube

It's an Innocence tube
It's just an Innocence tube
It's a put-on

it doesn't matter if no networks call the race or Trump never concedes because all that's required to close an election are the states certifying their results, which will all happen by early Dec

voted "other" since "kicking and screaming" is missing

he will be carried out kicking and screaming and wearing a comedy mustache that he demanded so people wouldn't know it was him being carried out

Sad!

i'm jackin it

Look they’re already digging his grave in the White House lawn.

The possibilities are delicious, I can't wait for this. However it goes down, it's gonna be ugly.

He will move out secretly a month early ... but still covered in feces.

that's why he's leaving early

In all seriousness... I can’t see any way he is going to be able to even pretend to engage with the job or the appearance of the job these next 2.5 months

This is bound to be the weirdest lame duck period in US history

He is gonna golf and ragetweet 94/7.

He will leave it in a car
He will leave it in a jar

he's going to rage and golftweet

I DO NOT HAVE A HANDICAP I AM NOT A SCRATCH GOLFER

No perp-walked by at least one police force?

poop-walked

i think he'll be spending most of the lame duck period at mar a lago and bedminster

he's not going to help prepare for the transition

Faeces makes sense I guess, he’s been rubbing them on his face at every appearance since he had the rona

xp
Is he aware taht is a convention. I think he fired everybody who was going to be ion his transition team , at least from thsoe roles didn't he?

I'm sure he's aware, he came out of his handover from Obama saying what a good guy he was...

Totally missed the “carried by 6 people” option and now I think I made a bad choice

I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!

it would be hilare if this were his last tweet ever

it's funny what a lunatic he is

poor chap he must be cacking himself even more than usual now that he knows he doesn't have an undeserved role to hide behind when his creditors come to call.

yeah i know. he might have to move in with ivanka and jared.

separate cells surely?

Now that he's toast I can fully appreciate his hilariousness. Rudy G today likewise.

i think his business empire will collapse but i don't think he'll go to jail. that's my prediction.

KM, I bet you could do some magic with that pic.

Make him roll the window down and have liquid thrown on him

Or just turn his face into a butt

Always has been.

He looks like he just flooded his zone with shit

i don't even understand what is going on here https://t.co/Jz7V7028WR

A friend of mine lives in Sterling and is the guy who reportedly held up a "GOOD RIDDANCE" sign at him this AM

I am begging you to please read the whole thread from @fredbenenson

Still time for the percolator.

Sure doesn't feel like he left sometimes

Pretty sure they are still finding grease on doorposts at the White House

How will Trump leave prison

in a laundry basket with no laundry in it and he's totally visible

Shawshank redemption by accident

I was thinking he'd go the Malcolm X route, and leave as a devout Muslim.

Hopefully in a body bag full of piss.

that’s how he’d have wanted it

Bag of piss is his codename in Russia

Mark get out I'm piss

Can’t leave the White House if there isn’t a White House. Are we sure there’s really a ballroom on the way?

He will leave it a complete ruin.

Diet coke cans, poop

Ketchup stains and gold leaf flaking off everything

he'll just sell it off to Qatar or something

not much conversation about this over in the rolling U.S. politics thread, but i feel a tiny glimmer of hope that *this* is going to turn into a real problem for DJT - with Rs in Congress, right-wing pundits, and even a chunk of his supporters.

those people do not care about liberal cities or foreigers in boats, but i do think they might care about patriotic symbolism, and they may be taken aback by this. i feel like it could have legs.

anyone else?

I think there is almost no chance of that whatsoever

he could order the Grand Canyon to be filled in and Mike Johnson would just shrug and say that's his perogative

Yeah, unfortunately I don't think this will be the final jenga piece. Folks mistake the Capitol building and White House pretty frequently.

Weak American government stronghold demolished in seconds by Swedish heavy power equipment.

Mt Rushmore's Roosevelt bust, you're next

the entire Republican party is about one thing and one thing only and that's fealty to Trump they do not care that he's a pedophile or a Nazi and whatever he wants to do to the White House is his God-given right

although who knows, the photos of the White House being demolished while Trump demands the taxpayers give him $230,000,000 all during a government shutdown may be too much for some people, plus his approval rating is worse than ever now, maybe this is having some effect

https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3m3uo5zcw7h2t

this poll was taken before that for what its worth, just saying Trump's numbers are capable of moving a little

what a fun three more years we have in store!

Approval ratings are more a measure of performance evaluation than vote intention. I know there's overlap but I think there's a fundamental difference, and they get conflated

I think it's similar to how "policy x" polls well
