Trump goes out with a whimper and a tweet. It was always going to be that way

[marmar]

(Independent UK) The end, for Donald Trump, has begun.

It came just as it had to, with that now all-too familiar mobile phone Twitter notification.

“In the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same,” Mr Trump tweeted, referring to GSA Administrator Emily Murphy, a loyalist who had been keeping the keys to Joe Biden’s transition under lock and key.

The outgoing president likely will never concede he lost to Mr Biden, now more officially the president-elect than at any point in the two weeks since he was projected the winner of a bitter fight with Mr Trump.

It’s just not in his personality, which has been so analysed and diagnosed by mental health experts, journalists, relatives and political observers. There’s little remaining question whether the 45th president has a massive ego, a willingness to bend the truth, and a stubborn insistence to put his own interests above even an entire country.

A whimper

The truth he ultimately could not ignore came into further focus that evening, when US district judge Matthew Brann tossed the Trump campaign’s suit claiming widespread voter fraud in Pennsylvania. Mr Brann delivered a fiery decision, writing the Trump team presented little more than “strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations". ..........(more)

1. Hope so, but I don't think the Pig is done stirring up sh*t.

15. The next 4 years

trump will be causing trouble as he runs for a second term. We need to all ignore him.

2. It is becoming clear to him.

He will have zero power as a broke citizen. I look for him to become a tv preacher, just like Jim Bakker.

3. I was looking forward to him being dragged out

I would have shelled out hard cash to see Trump dragged out of the White House as a pay-per-view event.

14. In the back seat of a 30 year old Crown Vic Police Cruiser

One that had hauled 3 or 4 drunks to the drunk tank the night before,of course they didn`t have time to clean the vomit up.

4. Do we know who actually wrote that?

[ProfessorGAC]

6. Doubtful It Was Him

There's syntax that makes sense.
Also, didn't this tweet hit AFTER Murphy sent her memo?
That suggests a lackey running cover.

8. Really

I doubt he can spell 'protocols', never uses a collective idea like 'team'.

[iluvtennis]

9. +++ agree. Because he who cannot construct a complete sentence didn't write it. nt

5. Since when did Little Donny give a fuck for the best interest of our Country?

7. Crazy like a fox

Donald Trump is a severely disturbed person. He has numerous mental health disorders that will never be treated. Any expectation that he would behave like a well adjusted normal human being are delusional. It's never going to happen. Many of his supporters/cultists are just as horribly demented as he is, and that's really all that can be said about him and his followers.

10. I wish the American media would be frank about this

and react the way I know we all do:

“In the best interest of our country” my ass!

[C Moon]

11. Republicans are selfish and evil.

Another unAmerican like Trump (but more intelligent and even tempered) is rubbing his or her hands at the chance of getting those 70 million behind him/her. Trump’s done, but most of those who voted for him are still there, waiting to be told how to vote.

12. It ain't Trump I'm worried about

It's that part of his cult that we all know by now exists.

13. " I am recommending that Emily and her team "

FFS!! the woman has a full name and a fucking title. But The Dipshit cannot bring himself to say "GSA Administrator Emily Murphy."
