Why I believe Trump will leave quietly a few days before, and no problem at all..

[Stuart G]

...Here is why: Trump being carried out of the White House by force will be forever his legacy. He can argue he
tried to stop the pandemic, but he cannot argue that he was correct not to leave the White House...
...Those live pictures about being carried out will be the key to Donald Trump..played everywhere in.............. the world. More important, questions about being carried out will be what he is asked forever. No that is not what Trump wants..
So, it is clear he is already preparing to leave without a problem and get he is getting his talking points
together for his post president interviews. Yes, he wants and needs those interviews and the book that follows because that is his total nature and his personality

. Donald Trump doesn't want every interview to start with, "Why didn't you leave peacefully?"
....So, he will leave peacefully, and perhaps he will go to Florida ahead of time, and just stay there. Not New York but Florida where he is comfortable...

....Warning:...I could be completely wrong and it wouldn't be the first time or the last time. Today is mid-December, so this is what I think will happen on Jan 20...as I have said before:

"Who knows what evil lurks within the hearts of men, The Shadow Knows."..............................

1. Not only is he going to leave the WH, he will flee the country. nt

[Stuart G]

2. A friend and I have speculated that Trump will move to Russia forever..and not come back.

I don't think so, but wouldn't be surprised at all, if that is what he does.....
.....To be honest...................................................................................................................

....nothing surprised me more than Trump being elected President of the United States...

9. Do you realize what a positive step this is?

Not long ago, a lot of us were talking about fleeing the country.

3. Does Trump do anything quietly?

serious question.

[Freddie]

4. I'm honestly surprised that his darling daughter

Hasn’t tried to talk some sense into him (or maybe she has). She is the only person he will listen to.

[Hoyt]

5. Agree, he'll go. But he'll move right into promoting himself, maybe

as a commentator on FOX or some new outlet. Maybe he’ll even host the inauguration on RUBE TV.

[William Seger]

6. There's a report tonight that he's talking about rebooting The Apprentice

Where does this map lead?

Failed businessman -> successful conman -> successful "reality TV" host -> successful presidential candidate -> failed president -> failed presidential candidate -> ???

[unblock]

7. Frankly I don't think he'll "leave" the White House. He will simply not go back.

No scene of him walking out of the White House "for the last time".

No scene of him waving goodbye.

He will go to some rally somewhere on January 17 or so, with a calendar suggesting he'll return to the White House, but he simply won't return there. He'll go to another rally or to mar-a-lago and that will he that. Other people will pack up his belongings.

He'll never be seen "leaving" the White House, but he will be gone.

8. I figured he might instruct

That the heat be cut off and dishes left in the sink.

10. Stuart G.....

I hope you're right. I'm inclined to agree with Michael Cohen who said he thinks dt will go to Mar Lago over the holidays and just not go back to the White house.....

[Still Sensible]

11. I think he's going to fully explore the Martial Law idea

that Michael Flynn is spouting. At this point all reports indicate that he really has convinced himself that he won. I am hopeful that level heads in the military--or elsewhere in the "deep state" he so fears--will disavow him of the notion... but to date he is still lying to himself.

I don't think he gives a shit about how he will be interviewed in the future, nor do I believe he gives a shit about his legacy. It's strictly about winners and losers and perhaps about certain financial and legal liabilities. Certainly there are indications that he or some around him are preparing to vacate, but until 12:01 on January 20, we all should be on edge.

But, it's Donald Fucking Trump, so your guess is as good as mine or anybody else's.

12. He will go to FLorida for Christmas and not return. That way

there will never be pictures of him leaving "his" White House.
