It just dawned on me that Trump will have an easy out on January 20, 2021...

[Fiendish Thingy]

Biden’s inauguration will almost certainly NOT be held in public on the Capitol steps. He will probably be sworn in during a small, socially distant ceremony With just his family and the VP’s, after which he can give his speech from the White House.

Trump will get an easy out, able to avoid attending Biden’s inauguration after A humiliating defeat.

Doesn’t mean he won’t attempt to wreak havoc on his way out...but perhaps Biden will have more freedom to reference Trump’s mess in his speech.

1. Makes sense!!

[RainCaster]

2. I'm looking forward to seeing the fumigation tent over the White House after DFT leaves

That would really burn 45's ego.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. The WH will have to be fumigated.....

For Trump brought enough bed bugs from his properties.

[Siwsan]

6. I think bed bugs are the least of the 'bugs' that might need removing from the White House

Particularly the Oval Office.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. That too. A thorough fumigation of the Oval Office.

[Elwood P Dowd]

15. That could take weeks.

Biden might have to make alternative living arrangements until March at the earliest.

[FoxNewsSucks]

10. Putin's not gonna like that!

[malaise]

12. Hope they count all the silver and check all the paintings

These are criminals

[Brainfodder]

3. 1-way to Moscow?

[hvn_nbr_2]

17. I pretty much expect him to defect to Russia before Inauguration Day

That's really the only way I see for him to avoid bankruptcy and jail.

After the election, if he cooks up some phony agreement and is planning to go to Russia to sign and celebrate, if the whole family is going along, you'll know what's up.

4. Before I start making plans for the 20th of January, I'd like Biden to win the election first. NT

8. I think we need to know who Joe is running against

Trump may file for political bankruptcy via resignation in exchange for a pardon if the polls don't turn for him - which is unlikely with the virus raging and the economy about to go off a cliff.

[jmowreader]

18. I would go for that under one condition

Trump surrenders all his real estate to the government, renounces his citizenship and leaves the country.

[Jarqui]

20. He'll probably have to do some of that anyway because

a pardon doesn't cover him for crimes in NY state.

So he's probably got his dough in the Cook Islands/off shore and would be going to a place with no extradition treaty. He won't surrender his real estate - Putin probably holds a lot of paper against it. But maybe it will get snatched for what little principal he has in it.

9. The Trump clan will ransack and pilfer the White House as they leave

They best check Melania's and Ivanka's handbags, and Jared's purse as they're going out the door.

[WyattKansas]

11. It's going to take months to powerwash with bleach every square inch in the White House, along with

Steam cleaning everything twice. What the grifters steal has already been fouled and perverted by the tRUMP clan anyway and unworthy of being on the property anymore. Why can't we just re-build the White House again?

[lagomorph777]

13. Biden doesn't have to invite him and he doesn't have to accept.

Besides, he'll be in his dacha "Mar A Moscow" by then.

[Tom Traubert]

14. If Trump loses in November

He will resign before the inauguration so he and his family all can be pardoned by Pence. He either resigns just before the election if it looks certain that he will lose, or after the election.

[mitch96]

16. 187 days till the change of power........... nt

[Generic Brad]

19. And he can brag his crowd size was bigger than Biden's

Because doesn’t everyone know that crowd turnout is what the presidency is about?
