He'll leave, he's just going to do everything in his power except violence to not to.

We'll leave the violence to others, he always does.

He seems more like a bully con-man than a violent thug.  I don't expect him to put up a physical fight.  It's possible his gun-toting followers might do...something, but i doubt it on any kind of large scale.  They haven't really done much since the election except blow hot air.

Inauguration Day is going to be very entertaining.  I'm waiting to see in what manner Trump strolls out of the WH.  He won't leave with his tail between his legs, he'll go out boasting.

Trump is promoting violence as he tries whatever way he can to overturn the election that kicked his sorry arse out of office. The morons, at least the totally brain dead portions could very well turn to violence at his direction. Let's hope donny rises a step up and simply **** off to his golf course so things can get back to a form of normal in the US.

He is already gone...  there is speculation that he won't go back to the White House prior to Biden taking over.

That's OK with you? It's not a LOL matter in case you need a wake up call.

For all he is actually doing, it would be better if he stayed in Florida.

The US not so long ago was a highly honored example of democracy, now ity has become the laughing stock of a tin pot dictatorship. Hopefully when they drag donny out of office whichever way they have to, they can start to rebuild back to their previous status.

It's the point in an empire's life when it grows so preoccupied with entertainments that it can't bear to pay attention to existential issues.  And the leadership can't exorcise itself from the culture of folly to make a sobering look at what is happening.

Economic, mental and physical health the those in the bottom half of earnings needs to be ameliorated.

Jeebus now congress is overturning Trump's Veto (with Republicans) and the Senate is shooting down his $2000 Covid relief.

He's mashing the buttons wrong.  I think this means Pence and maybe Newt Gingerich are the only ones still 100% behind him.

It's hilarious. The House helped Trump throw a stink bomb into the Senate and Republicans don't know which way to run.

Yeah, about Trump living there...

From: https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/in-mar-a-lago-some-revel-and-some-rebel-amid-trump-s-last-visit-as-president-1.5246586
Soon he also may be forced to face a brewing dispute over his Mar-a-Lago resort, whose neighbors have filed a grievance claiming Trump has no legal right to live at the storied property.... neighbors formally wrote the town of Palm Beach and the U.S. Secret Service asserting that Trump signed away his legal right to live at Mar-a-Lago when he converted the property from his residence to a private club in the 1990s. The dispute would put Trump in the highly awkward scenario of defending his choice of post-presidency residence.

I hope the residents are able to force him out.

(Now, Trump does have other properties in the area that he could live at. But not being able to stay in his resort, especially after spending money to renovate it, will be an irritation to him.)

Its always amazing hearing republican politicians complain about Trump when he does something foolish.

The GOP saw how petty and vindictive Trump can be (e.g. firing inspectors general). They saw he was willing to lie (everything from the size of his inauguration crowd, to Alabama being in the path of a hurricane) and engage in criminal activity (Trump University, blackmail/bribe Ukraine into investigating Biden). Its obvious that Trump is an incompetent narcissist con-artist.

Yet republican congress critters did everything they could to enable Trump. They voted to confirm his cabinet members (even the ones that were clearly not competent for the job) and his judges. And when he was impeached (and they had the chance to finally get rid of him), they lined up to say "Yeah, no problem if you break the law".

And NOW they complain about Trump not playing by the rules. What did you expect? They are like the guy who gets a pet alligator, and then gets surprised when it ends up biting their leg off.

And now the house is overriding trumps veto of the relief bill, some senators are sticking with trump as he tries to overthrow the election results, etc., etc. I don't recall a time when the place was in such turmoil. It will be interesting to see his reaction a week from today when the EC vote is officially rendered. Then another two weeks until trump gets escorted from the WH and maybe Biden can bring the place back to some sanity.
