If he would have pulled something like the Palm Beach speech from October 2016, that would have been interesting. Theres still a few things about the system, a man with nothing to loose could call out for crash and burn purposes.

But alas Trump isn't the guy for that.

Trump isn't a man with nothing to lose. Quite the opposite, holding onto the presidency is the only hope he has for getting out of his massive debts and avoiding being held to account for his many crimes.


I still like the theory that Trump *likes* losing.
Or at least the attention he can get with claiming he lost unfairly and how everyone is so mean etc. Gives him attention without responsibility.

I still have a bad feeling he will just flee the country and live the rest of his life in exile.

He is expected to try to flee to his golf course in Scotland.

Can't even flee right.

The UK is in lockdown. Coming to visit your golfcourse is not on the list with exceptions.
In addition, Scotland is planning to sue Donald for some tax-issues.

Well, not him specifically, but Scotland has travel restrictions and "I need to flee the bonfire I lit" isn't enough of a reason for Scotland to make an exception for him.

They haven't barred him specifically, but don't allow non-essential travel during the pandemic, and "I would like to find a quiet place off the 5th fairway to cry in private" isn't essential travel.

Considering that the storming of the capitol seems to have been planned including the pipe bombs and the planning of the kidnapping of various liberal politicians in various parts of the country by Trump supporters...some of them yes.

Well, if that's the case, when the liberals call antifa for help, I hope they at least make an apology for all their "both sides" rhetoric before the armed leftists come to their aid lol

But of course. I could add a litany if Trumps crimes but I doubt Kex would suddenly start regretting his support fro Trump.

Given that there are heavily armed militia organizations across the country that support the president and have been identified by intelligence and law enforcement as posing serious violent threats... yes, if they’re given the chance, which they nearly were on the Capitol if Congress hadn’t escaped. Have you missed all the guys in flak jackets with assault rifles who show up to these things, or all the people talking openly about killing liberals?

No, I imagine such images are a dime a dozen though. More seriously, there’s the fact that a number of police departments, federal law enforcement forces, and military units appear to have been infiltrated by Trump-sympathizing supporters of the coup, who would seem to stand in stark opposition to Aureum’s apparent amusement at the idea that the Trump movement could field effective paramilitary forces ever again moving forward.
