When we fired the first shots in the first Gulf War, George H.W. Bush was out on his boat fishing.

At one point, Trump also said he was concerned Iran could retaliate in the coming days for the US drone strike that killed Iran's top general, Qasem Soleimani, one year ago. A person speculated that could be a contributing factor in his early departure. Trump was at Mar-a-Lago when he ordered the Soleimani strike on January 3, 2020.

He would never pass up the chance to be in front of a decent size audience, it's like fresh blood to a vampire.

Betting poor ticket sales.

I thought he would stay down there and not return to DC, have one of his MAGAt rallies in protest of having the election "stolen", and avoid the indignity of being walked out of the White House all pouty faced.

At least we get to look forward to that.

thinking that Hawley will back him up and overturn the electoral college results. And Pence is on the edge too, is it Democracy or is it for tRump?

This is not over yet, we are in for some theatrics.

snip of article

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-enemies-list/


According to a report from the Daily Beast, a very frustrated Donald Trump is having problems not only coping with his election loss, but with the fact that the Republican leadership has taken to ignoring his demands now that he is on his way out the door.


With the president clinging to a slim hope that the efforts of a few Republicans -- including Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) -- will somehow forestall President-elect Joe Biden taking office, the report states that the president is keeping an enemies list of senior members of his party who have abandoned him.

Of note, the report states that the president has been badgering close aides with questions of "Why aren't they just listening [to me]?" as demands to contest the 2020 presidential election and hand out $2000 COVID aid checks are ignored or put on the backburner.
