Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[zorkuus]

I’m a bit suprised he doesn’t have any scheduled now... as fucked as it sounds, I expected him to take his voting conspiracy on the road.

Well... that is exactly what the media is reporting. That will be the topic of his next tour. So the rumor goes anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be true. He can't live without the attention and rush he got from those demented rallies.

I’m a bit suprised he doesn’t have any scheduled now... as fucked as it sounds, I expected him to take his voting conspiracy on the road.

I'm 85.33333%, repeating of course, surprised. Yes, Team Trump is both demoralized and also distracted by all that golfing. I mean, completely legitimate lawsuits they're filing. Yeah. And it's not like a couret case will be swung by a rally.

But:

1) I don't think Trump knows that. I think he believes court cases are decided in the court of public opinion. I think he believes all things are decided there.

2) He needs to keep his base riled up and angry if he's going to start terrorist riots, which is still an option for him.

3) Rallies are therapy for him. Trump loves nothing more than to stand before a (cough partially) packed crowd and hear people cheer how much they love him. You'd think he'd need a dose of that like an extra-large order of fries right now.

4) It would be another way to funnel what's left of his campaign's money into his pockets before paying outstanding debts to other places.

The problem with his rallies as ‘sue to the presidancy’ being the topic, is sort of insurrection. He can’t go back on the road, before he conceded.

George Conway is throwing some spicy shade.

so I'm thinking maybe the solution is we get Sheldon Aldelson or somebody to build a fake Oval Office at the Doral with rubber walls and a TV with a 24/7 simulated OAN feed telling him what a great president for life he is

and a smartphone with just Parler on it (we give him a fake EO to sign banning all other TV networks and Twitter) all with attendants in white coats bringing him medicated Cokes and Big Macs


The Leftist in me is super jelly at the Lincoln Project!

No. You cannot “both sides” this.

Yeah actually I can because it’s true. The left likes to go after the right about social distancing, but the left has protests, riots, and parades. I definitely can “both” sides this. Everyone on both sides of the aisle is responsible for Covid running rampant.

[Thepersona]

Come Jan. 20, there won't be an Airforce One waiting to whisk him away.

And cities will be much more willing to sue for the money he owes them.

He still has a private jet, right? I could paint it blue and white and become a bastardized version of air force one.

No, the left does not "have" riots, nor parades. And while the protests were largely attended by people on the left, they were not some planned rally created by the establishment.

And the relative precaution taken by the protestors vs. the utter lack of concern exhibited by the typical Trump rally attendee shows a stark difference in the two sides, as well.

There's no "both sides" to this, and any attempt to claim so will justly be met with derision.

No you can't.

1. The left hasn't rioted.
2. There's been no left parades.
3. The protests haven't been planned. I mean if you cannot see the difference between a planned massive biker rally/a large donor gala with an unplanned visceral reaction to ANOTHER unarmed black person being killed by the police, then you're likely not seeing it purposely.

And Ben Carson is now positive for Covid. Wonder if he'll be the only cabinet secretary to fall to Covid.

[Kathandira]

Since the election, has there been a Trump concession speech?

I haven't seen one yet.

The "left" wears fucking masks and passes them out at their OUTDOOR EVENTS hence why there have been no spikes tied to protests but tons of strikes tied to fucking trump rallies where people don't think Corona virus is a thing...

No, it wouldn't be. Fauci isn't a Trump appointee, he has been serving for decades throughout multiple administrations. Getting rid of Fauci just because he advised Trump would be asinine, just like Trump tried to get rid of literally anything Obama had touched.

Biden isn't an idiot like Trump who will seek to destroy everything related to the previous administration. Biden will, like a sane person, get rid of much of Trump's cabinet (because most of them are corrupt or incompetent) and proceed to roll back Trump policies that are harmful to the USA. On the policies that aren't harmful he won't arbitrarily get rid of them out of pure spite, because Biden isn't an narcissistic egomaniac. We will rejoin the Paris Climate Accords, cease our withdrawal from the WHO, and continue to negotiate with China on trade policy. I doubt he'll just end the trade war, he'll find places to compromise on and hopefully leverage places where we are in an advantageous position. Because, I cannot stress this enough, Biden is not a man-child that is fueled by spite.

nothing to do with spite, its just anything trump touched was infected and damaged. He would be a semi liability to the team even if the reasons why are not anywhere close to being realisitic.

Fauci has been an advisor for 6 presidents. He's not really part of "Trump's stink".

Not part of the stink, was stuck with the stink cause he tried to make a difference.

The other party and its supporters would just try to use him as a wedge and detrimental effects would occur with his participation

- - - Updated - - -

What? Hell no.

Fauci has been the Director of NIAID since 1984, through Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush Jr., and Obama, before finally getting to Trump. Biden has zero need to get rid of Fauci.

Yes and after all that he is now damaged goods thanks to trump

- - - Updated - - -

I would definitely make an exception for Fauci. If anything, elevate his stature as he knows more about fighting the pandemic than just about anyone. And he fought with Trump more than anyone on earth should have to.

at best he should be a quiet advisor to the new team behind the scenes.

So apparently the orange clown intends to keep on doing "campaign" rallies.
It was ever all about the attention for this narcissist.

A- He's got tons of debt in the campaign to pay off.
B- He can use the extra money by transferring a lot of it to the RNC for the GA fight coming up.


Its actually a smart thing to do. Grifter thing, scummy thing....but hey fools and their money right?

What does he have to fear when he has access to things the rest of us dont!!

Carson, 69, “is in good spirits and feels fortunate to have access to effective therapeutics which aid and markedly speed his recovery,” HUD deputy chief of staff Coalter Baker said in a statement.

I wonder if he’d be treated with the same fervor as trump was though...

Thoughts and prayers.

Whats really sick is I can see these new rallies being way worse. He knows he lost so who cares about mask now? All the optics can go away and he can say whatever he wants because he does not have to pretend to care about anyone but his base. And you know the crowds are really turn out now because hes been gaslighting them for years.

hmm so that makes what, 100% of his non white administration whom have tested positive for Covid?

Looks like Esper is gone. Replaced by Christopher C. Miller from the NCC. "Acting" positions until the end!

What did Trump want Esper to order, that Esper refused?
