I was hoping we could arrange a swap. Trump holes up in the Oval Office, so Biden nationalizes Mar-a-Lago.

It's a win/win. Biden gets better weather, and Trump loses some weight.

Nothing to do with the inauguration but, actually, Trump is not allowed to reside at Mar A Lago, something to do with planning permission to change it to a resort means he can only spend something like 3 months of a year there by law.

So he'll need an alternative.

He use to split time between there and properties in New York. Though, if he remains rich he can fuck off to other places every three months or, more likely, in Trump fashion he'll just stay there and go "Make me" and just file endless lawsuits that have no merit to drag that shit out.

Though he might not have that kind of scratch in the near future. Who knows.

Actually, I think he should move to Seattle just to upset the left-wingers there and make some of them spontaneously combust from the anger they would have if he chose to live there.

They did not require them to register, only to become verified. But the system used was indeed pretty insecure.

Did you, like, just tune in to this whole thing like three months ago or something? How do you know this little about Trump?

This is Trump we're talking about. Anyone who doesn't want him there should move.

This is Trump we're talking about. Income tax rate makes no difference to him.

I doubt ex-Presidents ever go sit in a coffee shop. And not just for security reasons. They're like movie stars except that people who don't like them will get a bit more personal than "how did a mothers boy like you get a role in Bad Boys for Life?"

It's a shame really, but you can probably still meet an ex-President for a chat if you go to a party convention or pay to sit down with them.

I wonder if the court case against the former Governor of Michigan is a preview of what awaits Trump. If he's held liable for the deaths in Flint, Trump might then follow with his shitshow handling of COVID...
