    He's still insisting he won.

    Fascinating.

    I'd be really curious to see how far down the rabbit hole he goes, only for he has ready access to a nuclear arsenal.

    Interesting interview here from 2011. Trump praising Clinton at 1 min in. Who would've thought 5 years later he would be calling him a rapist in front of his wife and daughter. Shows the kind of guy he is.

    This is why I find uber support for politicians very weird. They're all oddballs.

    He probably now has more flagged tweets than electoral votes....

    I swear to God we've all seen this on the playground in national school where some kid would get outraged, make up a new rule and declare that they were the winner of the hide and seek or tag or whatever game was being played.

    This is the holder of the most powerful office in the world. We've read about ancient rulers being anywhere from a bit crazy and dramatic to outright psychotic and deranged with some of their actions. We're watching such a ruler live before our eyes. What is fascinating is how many of his fans doubled down in his support.
    Take last saturday for example, the MAGA march in DC and he drove through it. So so far from the example set by say others who led their movements at the head of Marches instead of driving through them to go golf.

    He has to be intentionally trying to get himself banned from Twitter at this point. Himself and his Jonestown followers would see him as an even bigger martyr than they already do.

    They can't really ban him til he is no longer president.
    I doubt he will last much longer after January.

    I wonder what the odds are for him getting banned even temporarily on January 20th are?

    I fully expect him to not attend the inauguration and I also expect him to be rage tweeting all the way through it.

    Once the clock strike midday his "Person of Special Interest" protection is gone.

    Tweets like those from today will get him a 24hr ban right out the gate once he no longer has the cover of elected office.

    They can't (or really don't want to) ban him because he is Donald Trump and holds one of the largest followings on the platform, and consistently generates huge engagement. All of this will continue to be true after January, unless he becomes incapacitated.

    I think there is a good chance that not only will be not attend the inauguration, but that he will hold his own rally at the exact same time, in which he will stop short (only just) of proclaiming himself the true president

    99% certain that this will happen.

    At this point we're on the cusp of sedition.

    He'd certainly be sailing very very close.

    I would not be at all surprised if he held a "Trump 2024" on January 20th.

    In and of itself that's not illegal - Childish, Ignorant and utterly Imbecilic for sure , but technically not illegal.

    However , given his penchant for Verbal Diarrhea there is every chance that he'd veer into Sedition by mentioning the "phony" or "stolen" Inauguration etc.

    That's his personal Twitter account though? I'm sure they could ban him if the really wanted to. There's an official President's account that retweets some of leas deranged tweets.

    Sedition:
    noun
    conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch.

    It’s all a pretense. Flood the courts with frivolous law suits to give the impression that there is actually a case to be answered. There is no case.

    The media, legal experts, election officials, cyber security officials and even the Department of Homeland Security are in agreement. There is no evidence of fraud. Yes, you’ll always get minor individual cases of fraud perpetrated but there is no evidence of the sort of fraud being touted by Trump and his sycophants.

    73,407,471 Americans voted for Trump. That’s a lot of people to potentially upend and shakedown for dollar donations. How it works is that you refuse to accept the result. You refuse to concede, ever. It’s a pre-requisite to a con job. You rile up a proportion of those millions of people and appeal to their patriotism and dupe them into handing over cash to pay for a case which is baseless and an insult to the democratic process. It is all a front. He couldn’t care less about not engaging in an orderly transfer of power. National security? Can’t let something like that get in the way of perpetrating a con.

    Let’s say half of those voters (36 million) get duped by the begging letter’s sent out by the Trump campaign in the aftermath of the election. For argument’s sake, assume they pay $25 (a small sum) each. That’s a potential $900 million dollars right there and so we can begin to appreciate why a career grifter such as Trump is happy to mug his supporter’s off with cries of electoral fraud and stop the steal. He has significant campaign debts that need paying off, he has $421 million of personally guaranteed loans coming due in the next few years. He needs money, lot’s of it. He only has 65 days left to continue this agenda. It will likely continue after Biden is sworn in and Trump muses running again in 2024. He’ll need financing for that too and so those letters and emails will spam people for years ahead still invoking electoral fraud and the injustice of it all. Trump knows there is no case, he knows he’s lost but he has to think ahead, to keep the wolf from the door and gullible people will help him to do that. Fools and their money. Even if Trump moves to a television network then his narrative of “I lost the election, I am a one term President” does not have the same lure as “I was robbed, I actually won, illegal votes were cast, I was trying to protect the country…”

    The nanosecond Trump concedes then that grift would automatically stop and the cash flow into the PAC coffers would cease as there is no case considering Trump publicqally accepted the result and was in the process of transferring power to the incoming administration.

    Yeah, and the problem is that Trump supporters will get news about the cases going ahead with a sensational headline, like "MAJOR fraud investigation underway in Michigan! EXPLOSIVE new evidence has been uncovered!", but because of the media bubble they live in, they don't hear the follow-up where that case turns out to be a complete and total load of b****x.

    Agreed.

    The media are directly responsible for a good portion of his recipe for success in 2016.

    The free airtime they gave him was worth tens of millions of dollars.

    I’m afraid that a lot of that media leg-up was treating Clinton like a sure thing. I think that was alienating to a lot of the electorate.

    I’m also still gobsmacked, four years later, that the reason Clinton didn’t appear at the Javits Centre on election night was because she didn’t have a concession speech prepared. Dude. The complacency. Like, even if you are sure you are going to win, just hire a speechwriter to write one and then file it away, hoping you’ll never need it.

    You're going to be gobsmacked for the next four years if you're waiting for a Trump acceptance speech.
