President Donald Trump refused on Thanksgiving to say if he will attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, didn’t rule out a run for the White House in 2024 and said the Electoral College will make “a massive mistake” if it formally votes for Biden on Dec. 14.
“It’s going to be a very hard thing to concede, because we know there was massive fraud,” Trump said, repeating false claims in comments to the press after a teleconference with members of the military. “This was a massive fraud, this should never take place in this country. We’re like a third-world country.”
The president said he wouldn’t comment on his attendance at any inauguration event on Jan. 20, adding: “I know the answer to that, but I don’t want to say it yet.” When pressed by reporters, Trump said that he would leave the White House in January.
“Certainly I will. … Certainly I will, and you know that,” Trump said before adding, “There will be a lot of things happening between now and January 20th, a lot of things.”
“I know one thing, Joe Biden did not get 80 million votes,” Trump said without evidence. “This race is far from over.”
Trump on Thursday demeaned Republican election officials in Georgia and said he “didn’t lose” in the state despite a hand recount that confirmed Biden led in the state by just over 12,000 votes. That recount, Trump said, was “meaningless.” (It is not.) He said his loss in the Electoral College would be “fraud,” a statement not supported by any evidence.
“If they do, they’ve made a mistake,” the president said, referring to the Electoral College certifying Biden as the winner next month.
Trump also bitched about the fact that Joe Biden was going to get credit for the Coronavirus vaccine, and claimed that was all him.
However, it was hard to take anything he said seriously while sitting at the tiniest desk possible for a man of his size.
Yesterday, #DiaperDon made an ass out of himself, sitting at a tiny table, on a tiny chair in a room that clearly wasn’t meant for his shit. Than he said this
“I’m the president of the United States. Don’t ever talk to the president that way”@realDonaldTrump

I mean, who thought this was a good idea?
After being thoroughly mocked for this on social media, and #DiaperDon started trending on Twitter, Trump got his knickers in a bunch and went on the attack.
Twitter is sending out totally false “Trends” that have absolutely nothing to do with what is really trending in the world. They make it up, and only negative “stuff”. Same thing will happen to Twitter as is happening to @FoxNews daytime. Also, big Conservative discrimination!

So I guess Trump’s final days in office will be filled with his impotent rants as everybody just sits ack and mocks him.
I’m cool with that.
Update: Trump just tweeted this:
Biden can only enter the White House as President if he can prove that his ridiculous “80,000,000 votes” were not fraudulently or illegally obtained. When you see what happened in Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia & Milwaukee, massive voter fraud, he’s got a big unsolvable problem!

Biden does not have to “prove” anything the people who counted the votes did that for him.
dRUMPf sat at the tiny table just to make his hanDs look bigger.
#DiaperDon
It looks like an elementary school desk. Oh so presidential! Where was this photo taken?
apparently that is the mobile pres desk – small enough to move into other rooms etc — lots of presidents have signed stuff sitting at it but with lots of people
around so it doesn’t look so odd.

One would “think” that someone in that pool he calls advisors would tell him that this was a bad idea, but since when he he listened to anyone?
This is what you get. The ridicule is all yours, donnie boy.

“No, the 2020 Election was a total scam, we won by a lot (and will hopefully turn over the fraudulent result), but we must get out and help David and Kelly, two GREAT people. Otherwise we are playing right into the hands of some very sick people,” the president wrote. “I will be in Georgia on Saturday.”

Trump gave the one answer that Republicans fear the most, “Well, I told him today I think you’re dealing with a very fraudulent system. I’m very worried about that. They are tremendous people. Kelly Loeffler, David Perdue are tremendous people. They should be in the senate, but I told him today, I said listen, you have a fraudulent system. You have a system where the flick of a switch or the putting in of a new chip can change the course of history. And you have to be very careful. I read this morning where Stacey Abrams has 850,000 ballots accumulated. That’s called harvesting. You’re not allowed to harvest, but I understand the secretary of state who was really — he’s an enemy of the people. The secretary of state and whether he’s a Republican are not.”
The tiny desk! His staff hates him as much as I do. Which is saying something.

The Trump administration said it is closely monitoring the apparent assassination. The death “would be a big deal,” a US official told CNN.
Who cares if he attends the inauguration. Remember “Dr. Who” Dick Cheney at Obama’s first?
LOL, teeny tiny desk for teeny tiny hands, teeny tiny brain and teeny tiny amount of work he does.
I am sure he will be invited to the Inauguration as a formality, however I am sure everyone hopes he stays home. First of all, he is a COVID spreader, so where would you seat him, second he is a sore LOSER and will try to steal the show.
Also the third porn wife is not inviting Jill to the WH for tea, a tradition that other gracious first ladies have done, so where would they seat her, I am sure Michelle wouldn’t appreciate Barrack babysitting her again like at the funeral.
I bet they use Barron as an excuse to leave early, he has to get ready for school in FL.
Regular peon citizen that I be, I am sure that Jill Biden will fine veep wife eight years.
Remember President Obama, “you don’t have to do this, Joe.” Well, he did, and WON.
I agree, Biden doesn’t have to prove anything and it isn’t up the trump to decide whether he will accept the results of the electoral college.
For someone who is so worried about his image, surprising he doesn’t realize these temper tantrums make him look foolish.
Rock and a hard place, let’s see you turn 306-232 into a win, donnie., as long you are talking fraud.
December 14th will come soon enough,
Trump has yet to prove he is not the illegitimate son of an orangutan.
donny dRUMPf=$Hitgibbon the 1$Td
Yah, he is a certifiable dimwit!!!!!!
He will not be missed.
Just wait until the day after the electoral college votes, more folks will be ignoring the moron.
Too bad the press corp doesn’t decide to not show up for his whine fests that are full of LIES. He can babble to an empty room.

Looks like Donnie was seated at the kids table this Thanksgiving.
I could care less whether Trump attends Joe Biden’s inauguration or not. By 12:15 pm on January 20, 20121, he will be totally inconsequential. Thank God.
Its actually the size of table and chair the 99% use.
😱 OMG! This is ewwwwwewee

😱 OMG! This is ewwwwwewee & TRUE!
grow up and get over it, donnie. the American people fired you, and you have no one to blame but your self.
Sore loser baby boy is going to steal Biden’s thunder. Or try.
Just watch him decide to hold a new conference to announce his run for the 2024 election at the same time Biden is being sworn in. Trump is all about stealing the inauguration thunder. Petty. Vindictive. Sore loser indeed.

“Donald Trump is reportedly considering hosting a campaign event for a 2024 presidential bid to take place on Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day.
The Daily Beast, citing sources familiar with conversations about a possible 2024 run, reported that Trump is strategizing ways to remain relevant even after he steps down from the presidency. The conversations revolve around launching a run for president again in four years after Biden’s first term will have neared an end.
It would be an “unprecedented” decision to host a campaign event on the day of Biden’s inauguration, according to Carl Tobias, University of Richmond law professor.
“No one who has lost a race for President has ever announced the intent to run 4 years later on the day that the victor is sworn in,” Tobias told Business Insider in an emailed statement.”

“In the twilight of his presidency, Donald Trump is discussing different ways to disrupt the impending Joe Biden era, chief among them by announcing another run against him.
According to three people familiar with the conversations, the president, who refuses to acknowledge he lost the 2020 election as he clearly did, has not just talked to close advisers and confidants about a potential 2024 run to reclaim the White House but about the specifics of a campaign launch. The conversations have explored, among other things, how Trump could best time his announcement so as to keep the Republican Party behind him for the next four years. Two of these knowledgeable sources said the president has, in the past two weeks, even floated the idea of doing a 2024-related event during Biden’s inauguration week, possibly on Inauguration Day, if his legal effort to steal the 2020 election ultimately fails.”
He’s also exploring pardoning himself. Back-up plan is to resign and Pence to pardon him. That won’t save him from the state suits but will offer some protection.
That is how I want to remember Trump – a big baby at a tiny desk. In other words, an obnoxious brat.
