The previous president
More and more people are telling Trump to stop being a whiny bratty fool.
Pressure is mounting on Donald Trump to accept the results of the presidential election, after every major news outlet called the race for Joe Biden. The Democratic presidential-elect’s lead in the popular vote also continues to grow, now surpassing 5 million votes.
A number of world leaders have called Biden to congratulate him on his victory, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson referred to Trump as the “previous president” while speaking in Parliament today.
Biden leads by tens of thousands of votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
[E]ven some of the president’s most publicly pugilistic aides, including White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, and informal adviser Corey Lewandowski, have said privately that they are concerned about the lawsuits’ chances for success unless more evidence surfaces, according to people familiar with their views.
Trump met with advisers again Tuesday afternoon to discuss whether there is a path forward, said a person with knowledge of the discussions, who, like others interviewed for this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions. The person said Trump plans to keep fighting but understands it is going to be difficult. ‘He is all over the place. It changes from hour to hour,’ the person said. …
Give it up, Don. You’re toast.
There is a path forward: Concede graciously. Like Clinton did in 2016 when she was 3 million votes ahead but didn’t have the electoral college. Like Romney did when Obama beat him. Like McCain did when Obama beat him.
Concede, march forward, go forth and sell more crappy skyscrapers until the legal system catches up with you because by becoming president you put all your affairs into the public eye.
Problem is, he can’t concede graciously. He can’t do anything graciously. So maybe just shutting up?
I’ve been hoping he’d just shut the hell up since the 80’s, good luck with that.
Yes, but at least in the 80s, I could ignore him. His face wasn’t everywhere I went; in fact, it wasn’t anywhere I went. I didn’t have to hear his voice. I didn’t have to care what he was thinking. Let him scream into the wind, if he wants to do the King Lear thing, but just put him out on the heath where he won’t bother anyone.
Fine by me, maybe a heath in Siberia. Take the Trump offspring along, make it a family getaway. :)
twiliter, aren’t Siberian heaths more commonly called tundra? Not that I disagree with the sentiment, of course. For added fun, they could be fired into Siberia one-by-one from a huge cannon in the Palin’s garden in Alaska.
Yes, let’s look forward to Fox News reporting that the Trumps have conquered the tundra. :)
Oh god, that awful grating sing-song voice blathering his sixth-grade vocabulary.
