Imagine how unhinged Trump is going to be from November 4th 2020 to January 20th 2021

That's the transition period when the democratic nominee becomes the President-elect of the United States.

The outgoing administration traditionally works with the incoming president and their team to make the handover as smooth as possible.

Trump's not going to do that.

There probably won't be any White House meeting after the election. Obama welcomed Trump to the White House two days after the 2016 election. Bush welcomed Obama a week after the 2008 election.

There probably will be pressure on government officials and agencies not to co-operate with the incoming president's team.

And who is to rule out the prospect of Trump doing something so reckless as he refuses to admit being fired that he goes fully rogue deliberately creating a new gigantic mess for his successor.

He will claim it was all fraud and he will not concede. It will be very ugly. And if Barr is still the AG, he will enable The Orange One's claims. This will be off-the-charts ugly! So you are correct that there will not be a smooth transition.

To ask this country to tolerate this kind of criminal drama is too much. Please let there be a solution.

Even if they're just a small town mayor, they'll have more experience than Thurston Howell's evil twin.

He will do something that causes significant damage to the country, and then he will resign and flee to Russia.

My recommendation is, if Trump loses the election we need to take the spark plugs out of his jet and alert all the airlines, private charters etc to not allow Trump on any of their planes.

The sooner people realize what a fight this will be, the better chance of a good outcome.
