Judging by Trump's latest tweets

Which thankfully twitter has put a warning on, (you have to click view to see them)

Hes going to contest every state that Biden wins.

If Biden wins the election he is not going quietly.

Even if the courts rule, rightly that Biden has won he wont go quietly.

So I know he doesn't have a choice, but what sick thing will he do, before he is told
to leave.

I hope what few patriots that still work for him will keep a close eye on his actions, along with Barr and McConnell. Lock the vault, for one. Video tape all the rooms of the WH and hope that he doesn't take off with paintings, artifacts and documents that should be left in place, including that super secret vault they hid the transcript of the Ukraine phone conversation.

I hope someone else is sleeping with the secret code and valise.

calling a "State of Emergency" that they have found rampant fraud in various places and that the results should be nullified while they set up a new election.

He isn't going down without literally trying everything he can possibly think of, which is a why I was a little surprised he didn't give everyone another $1,000 COVID relief check the week before the election. It isn' this money and that would have been great advertising for himself.

...even if he has to phone it in from Moscow.

Seriously, if he's still in the U.S. after the election, he'll still be holding his rallies, only probably charging admission fees.

Whether in the States or outside, he'll no doubt continue tweeting like usual, phoning in to Faux News, and probably start his own podcast or webcast, if not launch his own political media empire to the right of Faux, Breitbart, etc.

No way he's going to abandon any opportunities to use his presidency to keep the taps flowing with cash and adoration from his fans.

...reality is bitch-slapping the shit out of him. He can’t ignore it, he can’t magical-think it, he can’t make it go away. This confirms what has been lurking in his psyche all his life: He is indeed a LOSER — something that he cannot abide.

He needs to be on a 24-hour watch from now until he leaves.

The mentally ill can recover.

A narcissist does not get better with therapy.

You can't cure a person when they think they never need to change because they think they're perfect.

A person with mental illness can recover

Narcissists sociopaths and authoritarian personalities NEVER
Recover because they can't/choose not to. It's a character flaw they have,not a real mental illness as I see it..

These personality issues that cannot be cured . So they need to be seen as seperate from genuine mental illness and trauma disorders in people that seek recovery.

Also narcisstistic,authoritarian and sociopaths must be kept seperate from the mentally ill and trauma based illness.
As the people around the narcissist have bad outcomes in abusive situations narcissists would bring to group therapies etc.



These kinds of toxic people need to be classified seperately from the mentally ill and PTSD ect.because people with mental illness want to recover can recover and seek insight..toxic people don't want to improve or grow empathy within or have insight.

That's the difference from a character flaw
And a mental illness.

Wish the psych community could figure out a way to keep narcissists out of the places and therapies that help the mentally ill and traumatized.

we can apply more than one descriptor to him. He can be a narcissist and a sociopath, as well as mentally ill. I agree that Trump cannot get better and by all indications, he has gotten worse over the years. I'm not sure that he has always been mentally ill, but clearly he has always been a narcissist. Meanwhile, being thrust into a position far beyond his capabilities seems to have made him far worse.

And I wish society as a whole, could find a way to keep narcissists out of positions of power where they can do great harm.

He can kick up all the fuss in the world, that won't change the fact that the country will move on and he'll be a big fat loser with big fat loans coming due that he may not be able to pay. And he won't have AF1 at his beck and call to ferry him to his gilded properties and stupid golf courses.

His brand will be forever tainted too - who'd want to stay in one of his hotels or buy one of his overpriced units? Where's the incentive to curry favor with a big fat loser who does nothing but piss and moan?

Someone once said about General Patton that the absence of war would kill him. In Trump's case, the absence of the spotlight will kill him.
