What does Trump have up his sleeve

He tweeted something about “seeing us in DC on January 6”.....seems like they have tried to look for some type of obscure law/rule/person to overturn this election whether it was a state board not certifying the vote, state legislatures sending their own electors, a friendly state Supreme Court, a friendly SCOTUS, etc....now that latest looks like they have found something that would allow them to do something....yeah I know about the one house member and one Senator and I am not worried about those shenanigans

I honestly think he is rooting for an armed insurrection.

They've already sent him millions to him so he can keep "fighting."

(and "fighting", really means cashing their checks and doing nothing)

He's going to string 'em along until he can't anymore. This is the model for his grift from now until the monies dry up.

He’s no longer generating front page daily news stories and he hates that. I suspect some larger than life stunt like storming the floor of the assembled congress and demanding four more years. But you know what? It ain’t gonna work.

I thought he was telling everybody not to vote in the GA run-off. Maybe he got them to mess with the Jan 6 event?

that takes place. Trump and the media are using each other for their own needs; they have become codependent. He gets pleasure from stringing everyone along for as long as he can all while the media is raking in the dollars. Win-Win. I think this obsession won't end until Trump is dead.

The vote will be certified whether he likes it or not. He's not some genius who knows something we don't.

He's not coming up with this crap. Its probably Miller or Kushner, and he's ready to pounce on any glimmer of salvation they offer now.
