Trump to return to Washington early ahead of Republican plan to disrupt certification of Biden's win
Source: CNN
(CNN)President Donald Trump is expected to return to Washington earlier than anticipated ahead of a planned disruption by Republicans when Congress meets next week to certify President-elect Joe Biden's win.
Trump is now slated to leave Palm Beach before his annual New Year's Eve party, even though guests had already gathered at his south Florida club and were told Trump would be in attendance, according to three people familiar with the matter. The President typically relishes appearing on the red carpet in front of the press and his friends, but is skipping the event altogether this year in what will be an unusual move.
In the President's daily public schedule for Thursday, the White House stated the President and first lady Melania Trump will leave Florida at 11 a.m. ET to return to the White House.
Over the course of his stay in Florida, Trump has been single-mindedly focused on the election results and the upcoming certification process in Congress, set for January 6. After losing dozens of court cases and having his appeal rejected by the Supreme Court, Trump has viewed the January 6 event as his best opportunity to overturn the election he lost.

tRump is also claiming that he's concerned Iran could be planning to retaliate for the drone strike that killed their top general, Qasem Soleimani, a year ago. tRump also continues to be confused as to why Pence can't overturn the election results on Jan. 6th.

(8,944 posts)Why bring up these allegations about Iran unless he's planning to do something insane in the hope that the country (& military) rally around a "War President"?
I've got a bad feeling about this.

The orange traitorous freak may be uninformed, but he has plenty of folks that know how to try and muck things up. This Iran comment is rather unsettling as well.
