Maybe we will see him getting led out by military escort. And maybe, if he escalates it to this, it could be arranged that something happens to him. On the slippery stairs, for example. He has already demonstrated that he has problems with stairs...

Gangster games by a very sick person with a serious personality disorder. That such derranged people can make it to such ranks, is deeply frightening. Even more worrying when considering that the place where this possib le coup could happen this time is a nation that owns one of the two biggest nuclear weapons arsenals in the world. Terrifying.

Nonsense.

There is not the slightest chance it would happen. When the President elect is sworn into office on Jan. 20 2021 all power of the Executive Branch is transfered to the new President. Explain to me how Trump would still be president. Staying in the White House would not make him President. Name a single member of the current Administration who would risk going along with something that stupid.

It is a nonsensical conspiricy theory and it won't happen. Guaranteed.

Dont tell me. Tell him. It is him refusing to say clear he would obey. His words, not mine. HIS words. And not the first time.

He is a narcissistic sociopath (heck, I said that already three years ago, it did not take a book by his niece to tell me that...) who has hopelessly manouvered himself into a corner, all his life long, and always lying, and then learning that more lying lets him getting away with it and then to lie more.

In principle, he is a very sad, pitiful, failed being, from A to Z. A Gollum.

^^ You are not the only one who have written these things about this Executive Branch is transferred to the new President

I recall many journalist saying throughout the years..Mr. Trump isn't what we would call a ordinary politician, far from it.
We can therefore not say how he will react to a defeat in the Presidential election
Well I can't that's because I'm not an educated psychoanalyst

I'm however convinced:
He will accept the defeat and leave the White House, long before Jan. 20 2021.

If you don't know by now that Trump trolls people like you here's a heads up. He trolls people like you.

So you’re saying that the USA has a troll for a president?

Buddahaid · 07-21-20, 12:04 AM

Yes. We even made a doll to prove it.

He is not just a troll, but a sociopath of psychiatric relevance. And such people tick in their own tact and can become very strange if meeting reality of a not wanted kind. Trump automatically lies then. So if his reflex is to say that he has lost the vote is a lie - then there we are. Then what?

Buddahaid · 07-21-20, 12:25 AM

Simple. We wait, vote, wait and see. What else?

There is some ticking and clicking going on in American heads that I fear I just will never understand.

The wearing of masks has become a catalyst for political conflict, an arena where scientific evidence is often viewed through a partisan lens. Most Democrats support the wearing of masks, according to a poll conducted by researchers at the Pew Research Center. [...] as Timothy Akers, a public-health professor at Morgan State University, a historically black college in Baltimore, says: "We're seeing politics and science literally crashing."

In the past, people wore for example buttons to signal what party they support. Today it is masks or no masks - but even if expressing the one party association kills people in scores and scores and pushes many more into lasting health issues...?

We could endlessly argue on the internet with no chance of changing anyone’s mind?

Now this made me laugh

The first problem with Trump not leaving is that the White House is in enemy held territory, at least for now.

Catfish · 07-21-20, 02:34 AM

Partisanship and politics will not solve real problems. What has partisanship to do with science, or wearing a mask?
There is a storm of incivility, anti-intellectualism and tribalism, especially when it comes to "social" media. They politicise everything.
