What will Trump's parting gift be to the American people?

He has had too much time on his hands, while sitting on them, since the election. You know he will want to strike out as hard as possible. It is who he is. I don't think that the pardons, no matter how distasteful to the country, will be enough to satisfy his lust for vengeance. Hopefully the bombshell, whatever it is, will not involve actual bombs....

Perhaps he should not be allowed to leave the city until after the inauguration ceremony. Even Marine 1 breaks down from time to time

Pentagon won't do it.

But I agree with you that he would love to do something vile on his last day. We shall see.

He knows he's in serious trouble at numerous fora (courts, Congress, US and district attorneys etc) that he'll be on his best behavior. It's not going to erase his incredible wide and deep criminal and civil exposure, but at least it won't make it worse than it already is

Call me naive!

After that, I no longer fear anything he might do, as he has no power except for some real wackos that might be figuring out, very slowly, that they've been taken by a ride!
