Oops, thought I’d posted this.

That's okay junior, just listen to your dad and drink some bleach or Lysol or something. He is the smartest man on the planet and knows more about the virus than anyone else and he says it's okay.

It’s been almost four years and it still seems completely insane to me that the words “President Trump” are used in regular media.

I felt the same way. I had a hard time when he was running that those words would be a regular thing.

I’m waiting for the day our M$M refers to that son of a fornicating bitch as Federal Prisoner Trump and leaves off that fuck face squatted in the White House. Course said media is too chickenshit to do so.

Just saw this

Barack and Michelle Obama are set to produce a new Netflix comedy series based on the "chaos", which ensued when Donald Trump became US president in 2016.

Called "The G Word," the series is due to start filming in early 2021 and is based on Michael Lewis' book "The Fifth Risk," the rights to which the Obamas bought in 2018, according to Deadline. 

"The Fifth Risk" is a non-fiction book that examines "the Trump administration's botched presidential transition," as per Goodreads.

I'm actually kind of two minds about all this.  I kind of like the idea of making fun of the Bonespur Buttplug but at the same time it's kind of painful still for me in the months after Weehands McNodick won.

Even if this is true, then production of this series is only starting next year. It will take some time before they can start filming (when exactly depends on the pandemic) and when that wraps up they can start editing. It takes a pretty long time for all the work on a series to actually be completed, and I don’t think it will be available for viewing in 2021 yet.

I brought up the idea of him having a fake inauguration in one of these threads as sort of a joke, I didn't think he would actually attempt to do it! It is a bit far even for him, but if he is really determined to pretend he won, I guess it makes sense for him to do something like this. Can they kick him out if he attempts it? And if he doesn't hold it, wouldn't it be asking for donations under a false pretense or something? 

[Botkinetti]

Once Biden is sworn in won’t trump be considered trespassing if he tries to remain in the White House.

[AmazonGrace]

It might be a fake email because how could Trump fit millions of magas in the Rose Garden. I'm sure his fake inauguration would be the biggest ever superspreader event. 

But it's saying a lot about Trump that it's totally believable he would do it.

I wonder if he’d try some government in exile kind of thing from Malware-a-Tugjob and be inaugurated there?  Or from Russia?

A good read: "A noisy president goes (relatively) quiet in wake of election defeat"

Quote

The president who likes to put on a show is mostly offstage these days.

Since President Trump was declared the election’s loser earlier this month, gone are blustery speeches and stemwinder White House news conferences about the coronavirus, which never disappeared like he promised — or any other topic for that matter. Gone are lengthy call-in sessions with favored Fox anchors that often stretched so long the hosts had to push to conclude the calls.

Gone, too, are regular White House jousting matches with the press, impromptu Oval Office appearances with random guests or any pretense of being interested in many of the duties of the job.

In the 19 days since the election, 12 have included no events on the president’s schedule. He has appeared at public events four times and has played golf at his own Virginia course six times. He has taken no questions from reporters.

Since Election Day, he has spoken 8,143 words over 18 days through Saturday, according to Factba.se, a website which tracks all of his utterances and movements. On average in 2020, he spoke 8,398 words daily, according to Bill Frischling, the website’s owner, but only 454 words per day since Nov. 3. On the last day of the campaign alone, he uttered more than 55,000 words.

He averaged about 48 minutes on camera every day in 2020, Frischling said. He has spent about 50 minutes on camera total since Nov. 3.

“Definitively, it is the quietest period of the presidency,” Frischling said. “It’s the longest stretch between events and it’s the least number. Everything is off from the average universe. He spoke more in 2020 than previous years, and he’s way down if you compare him to previous years or 2020.”

Trump has not left the Washington area since his loss, eschewing his annual trip to Mar-a-Lago for Thanksgiving, where an ostentatious dinner underneath the chandeliers of his gilded Florida club was usually part family gathering, part publicity event.

The president’s lust for ratings — he has sometimes defended events such as his coronavirus news conferences by citing how many people watched them — seems to have evaporated.

Trump — known for cannonballing on the global stage with moves such as threatening to pull out of NATO — participated minimally in the virtual Group of 20 summit this weekend, speaking to other world leaders for a few minutes, looking downward at his phone during the proceedings and leaving early both days, aides and diplomats said. He skipped the special session about handling the coronavirus pandemic on Saturday — even as cases surge in the United States — and went to the golf course. He went golfing again on Sunday.

“My speech is available (they said I didn’t make a speech),” Trump wrote on Twitter, attacking the news media. Asked for the speech, however, the White House did not provide it. The White House said he looked forward to working with the G-20 in the future “to achieve security, prosperity, and peace for all nations.”

Given a chance to brag about the successful development of a coronavirus vaccine in recent days, a historic achievement for his administration, the president attacked the company for not releasing it before the election.

“I won, by the way,” he said offhandedly during a brief Friday appearance. He did not elaborate.

It is a marked sea change from the past five years, during which Trump dominated the national psyche with a constant stream of bravado: provocations, cliffhanger events, firings, rallies, tweets and controversies that often blurred one into the next. The denouement of the Trump presidency is largely playing out without Trump. He is no longer pretending to embrace parts of the job that he never liked, some advisers say.

Sarah Matthews, a White House spokeswoman, said the president is “hard at work fulfilling the promises he made to the American people and building on his unprecedented accomplishments as he works to rebuild our economy, lower drug costs, end the endless foreign wars by bringing our troops home, and deliver on his ambitious goal to have a safe and effective covid-19 vaccine before the end of the year.”

Trump has deluged the Internet with a fusillade of conspiracy theories and falsehoods about the election — even as his lawyers decline to make most such allegations in court and lose case after case. He has taken brazen steps, such as meeting with Michigan’s top legislators in a bid to have new electors chosen that would pick him. He has railed against judges who have ruled against him.

Trump fired two high-profile officials, including his defense secretary, by tweet. Republicans who have said Joe Biden won the election have been hit by Twitter broadsides with Trumpian clockwork. He has called Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) a “RINO,” or Republican in name only, criticized Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) for hawkish views on the Middle East and attacked Sen. Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.) for his stance against tariffs — all after they criticized him or said that Biden won.

“Stop golfing and concede,” Hogan responded Sunday.

Advisers say he is trying to figure out what to say and what to do. Unlike 2016, when Trump doubted he would win, he is genuinely surprised by the defeat, advisers say. Over the past few weeks of the campaign, advisers on Air Force One repeatedly told the president he was going to win because of the large crowds at his rallies and showed him favorable polling. Trump mused about how he would mock the pundits and his critics after the election when he won again, advisers said.

Since then, he has vacillated between delusion that he actually won, anger and deflation that he lost and a desire to keep fighting. “I don’t think he knows what he wants to say yet,” said one official who has spoken to the president and who, like other aides and advisers, spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal private conversations. “It’s all over the place based on the day.”

“Yes and yes,” one adviser responded, when asked whether the president knows the election is over or believes it was truly rigged. Trump rails against Fox News and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) and dives into Wisconsin laws on some days, while plotting his 2024 campaign on other afternoons and pondering ways to sabotage Biden. One afternoon last week, Trump told advisers that he was going to win Michigan and Pennsylvania and that he could still win Georgia. No one seemed to challenge him.

Behind the scenes, he is on a stream of phone calls, quizzing a broad range of advisers — Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel, personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani, former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, Newsmax chief executive Chris Ruddy, former counselor Kellyanne Conway, son-in-law Jared Kushner, his adult children and his campaign team — about what he should do next. But many of his advisers have also largely disappeared from the public eye. The West Wing is increasingly empty these days, four aides say, as aides look for jobs and try to avoid the spreading coronavirus.

Trump, a prodigious television watcher even in happier times, is consuming many hours these days, complaining vociferously about individual Fox News hosts when they question his team’s claims. He has mentioned to advisers, several of them say, that ratings will go down when he is gone.

Aides say Trump is searching for positive information, calling advisers such as John McLaughlin, his pollster, to hear how well he performed and how he really won the election. “More people than would admit to you are telling him he actually won the election and giving him a false sense of hope,” a person close to him said.

Some other advisers are simply trying to cheer him up by repeatedly noting that he won more votes than any other Republican has ever won. Longtime Trump watchers say they are not entirely surprised by the relative silence.

“It’s about what serves his needs, not about what moves policy forward. He doesn’t have the appetite to stay in it now because he knows it’s over,” said Tim O’Brien, a longtime Trump biographer and frequent critic. “His only goal is to try and taint the election. So if he goes back to his base and runs again, so he can say Biden didn’t really beat me, that’s all he wanted out of this. He doesn’t want to have to do all the dirty work himself.”

On Sunday, Trump spent part of the morning retweeting supportive posts by Liz Harrington, an RNC spokeswoman, among others. “I’m not tired of winning yet,” she wrote in April 2019, a post the president resurfaced Sunday.

“And neither am I!” he wrote. He soon went golfing.

Yeah I would absolutely expect him to have a faux-nauguration but I'd think it'd be at Mar-A-Lago or one of his other properties. Because the crowds would be "too tremendously huge" for the normal inauguration venues, naturally.

Nothing to do with the facts that 1) he lost and 2) he profits more from them being at his own property. Nothing at all.

As much as I still kind of expect the resign/pardon/flee at the last minute, I wouldn't be surprised if he did that AT some sort of major event. Cram the ballroom full at Mar-a-Loco (pocketing as much money as possible) on the morning of the inauguration, announce he plans to "honor Pence" by giving him a few minutes as president, resign, Pence swears in, Trump and fam get blanket pardon, then real party begins - with the Trump fam slowly slipping away one by one to be whisked off to the airport.

Fuck Nugget was probably too mad to attend

Quote

First lady Melania Trump on Monday celebrated the arrival of the annual White House Christmas tree — without President Trump or their son Barron Trump, who have attended the event in past years.

“Merry Christmas,” she told reporters, ignoring a shouted question about how the president is doing

Probably too busy sulking in his office sucking down Mickey Ds and trying to see how to tweet some bullshit without twitter hurting his fee fees by slapping a warning label on it.
