Trump already prepping White House transition in case he loses in November

By Associated Press -May 3, 2020 10:00 AM

Some Democrats have expressed doubts that the White House would be fully engaged in the process of preparing Trump's 2020 opponent.

Donald Trump is still all-in on getting reelected, but he's also set to take the first steps to formally prepare someone else to take over if he loses on Nov. 3.

Trump is standing up a council under the first deployment of the Presidential Transition Act by an incumbent running for another term after Congress moved in 2015 to better ensure continuity of government when one president hands off to another.

Making sure presidential candidates are ready to take charge of the federal government became a priority after the Sept. 11 attacks, but the effort takes on new urgency because of the coronavirus pandemic and associated economic turmoil.

"The relevance of transition planning has intensified since it could be the first election since 1932 where we had more than 20% unemployment, more than twice as high as the unemployment rate in 2008," said David Marchick, director of the Center for Presidential Transition at the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service. "You add to that a health crisis and the potential for a virtual transition. The degree of complexity has increased significantly."

He will not go away peaceably.....he has gutted every agency in the government, just so he could fuck over the public and make money off it .......I agree with Biden on this :

Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, expressed skepticism to donors Tuesday that the Trump White House would work to provide a smooth transition.

When he does have to leave, they better do an inventory at the White House and make sure everything is still there.

They could never scrub that place clean enough for me.

It would be expensive, but it should become "the people's house", for dinners, tours, etc. Another absolutely secure place should be built (or added on to the main residence) for all "presidential" actions.

Just one more thing that the turd has turned to shit.
