She mentioned that there was a meeting last week about what actions would be taken if/when Trump loses the election but refuses to leave the WH.

She stated that Joe Biden would be inaugurated on Jan 20, 2021 whether Trump vacated the WH or not.

She also said there was a contingency plan to "fumigate" Trump out of the WH once he loses the election.

would define him forever... The pictures of a Trump being carried out would
destroy Trump and the..."Trump Name"..as much as anything else. World wide publicity about
Trump refusing to leave would also hurt his family forever......

That is why I think he will leave quietly & on his own.......

(Yes, I know Trump doesn't care about anyone but himself, but I do think he cares about his legacy.)
Those pictures of him refusing to leave would be incredible.
I think Donald Trump wants to avoid those pictures, no matter what happens..

..... on the very last page in a biography about Donald Trump, Donald does not want a picture of him being carried out of the White House by guards and secret service on the orders of President Biden. Yes, it hasn't sunk in yet about the virus and what will be written about Trump...but I think that picture of him being carried out will prevent him from staying on past the time he should leave..

he has committed, and which ones will expose him to prison time. If he has enough stolen money salted away he may see his so called brand name as dispensable and try to create the chaos he thrives on before executing some kind of exit plan with the help of Putin. It may hinge on his despotic madness vs his cowardice.

That means 'no text', so don't even think about trying to open it to see what's in the text box. Saves time, reduces clicks, even though time is what many of us have in abundance nowadays.
