Donald Trump for President of the USA

Oh dear.

Trump has apparently spent $3 million on recounts in two parts of Wisconsin and an additional 132 votes were found - for Biden.
Not sure whose money he was spending though.

Trump's latest batch of regrettable tweets include attacks on the FBI, Dept of Justice, the Supreme Court and Republican Senators

Having gone to great lengths to put his own stooges in the FBI,and DOJ and then pushed through Supreme Court nominees to give him a majority the irony of this takes on a whole a new level. Surely there will come a time when he just f***s off?

Beyond belief.

I needed a laugh this morning.

I am glad that he made it clear that it was Donald J Trump he was referring to as we wouldn't want God to confuse him with any other Donald Trumps.

Now that Biden's victory has been ratified and Trump has suggested there will be a transition smooth or otherwise it will be interesting to see what happens next. It could go several ways ranging from banging him up to a total pardon, but there are obviously going to be ongoing issues with his "supporters".
I know they probably won't do it, but there is a lot to be said for dragging Trump through the courts and ensuring his lies are debunked publicly. That won't dissuade the conspiracy theorists but it will at least ensure there is no question over which side of the law he is on.

Trouble is with his money he would string it out to last years going through the courts. He definitely should be held to account for all his crimes.

There is a question over his money - he has massive debts apparently. Although he would get crowd funded for a court battle.
That said, a lengthy court drama would only provide more ammunition to bury his ideology.

Is Melania still on his side?

I thought the same, she'll be gone before long as it's obvious she hates him

Personally I believe Mike Pence needs to find some balls and invoke the 25th Amendment on this nutjob before we wind up in a massive war. I kid you not, every second this looney remains the Commander in Chief of the world's largest military is a second of extreme danger that's too much to allow. Impeachment has almost no chance of happening in the time remaining in his term but 12 days is plenty for him to do even more damage potentially on a global scale. Frankly I'm actually afraid of the consequences of leaving him in place any longer.

He’s had his Twitter account terminated for good.

I dunno if you've seen this but I just came across it on YT and couldn't stop laughing.

How many more days does he have control of the world's biggest nuclear arsenal?
Hope they take the button off him whilst distracting him with a new Tik Tok account.

lusty the new President takes office at 12 pm (5pm GMT) on the 20th of January. Until then Trump remains Commander In Chief of all US Armed Forces.

However, one small note of comfort from my reading of US law. The President cannot activate a nuclear attack by himself unless the USA is already under a nuclear attack. In order to initiate a nuclear war he would require a second person of cabinet level or a Director of a Federal Agency (eg CIA) to both support and confirm the order. What worries me is he can order a massive conventional attack by himself, say on Tehran without requiring anyone's approval. I think that's a much more likely and frankly more scary scenario because he could then try to argue that a State of Emergency exists under which a change of administration would be counter productive. Even if the US Congress and Senate failed to vote in his favour it's possible the Supreme Court would rule he has that power. The constitution, especially around war time powers is more than a little vague about who'd be in charge if a sitting president declared a national emergency due to 'foreign military action'.

Plans are still being made online for an armed march on or before inauguration day.

Some of the t-shirts worn by the protestors said a lot.
