Just wonderin' ...

Trump is already doing the bare minimum when it comes to the hard work of pResidentin’. Between rounds of golf, he is cancelling any event that might prove embarrassing – which pretty much means all of them, what with ramps, and water-drinking, and throwing baseballs and all.

We know he’s already lost interest in stuff like saving American citizens from dying and shit like that, since he finally realized he was losing his bid for re-election. (I believe it was Tulsa that finally drove the point home).

So I wonder what the Dotard will do when he loses in November, and is still expected to carry out even the most mundane duties of an office he knows he will be ousted from in a matter of weeks.

The question is: Will he retreat to Mara-Lago the minute the results are announced, thereafter refusing to perform any official duties?

To me, it seems likely. It would be in keeping with his petulant-child behaviour.

Will we be treated to an endless barrage of tweets about how the country fired him, so he’s not obligated to show up at the office anymore?

Thoughts?

I am no Psychologist, but I had to take a LOT of Psychology in College in order to earn my Bachelors in Education if I was going to teach Art and History.

Mary Trump was spot on regarding Uncle Donald and she got under his thin skin.

With claims of corruption and accusations , then claim the election was stolen from him , and again he and his followers are the victims. He will threaten more when he's indicted.

someplace from which he couldn’t be extradited. I do hope I’m wrong—the world needs to see Trump answer for his crimes.

He will not peacefully relinquish the White House if he loses. The possibilities of what he could do in a lame duck period are scary.

I've seen people have fears he will do all kinds of terrible things in the lame duck period, so it would be better if he just quits.

might just be the best thing he could do.

Better for all of us for him to just check out.
