Then
Indicted President Unelect
Defendant Former President
Disgraced convicted former President
Disgraced former President in exile in Dubai.
All kinds of titles we never used before.
Just can't wait until I hear President elect for the first time.
I would lose my spleen laughing if any of the anchors were to use "President Unelect".

(18,402 posts)poop all over the government and its agencies, boobytrap the White House, and continue to spew his crazy hate on Twitter ... for what I assume will be the next four years.
So I'm not TOTALLY happy. If you think he's going to go quietly into that good night, you don't know him.

(1,601 posts)It's ... possible ... that it may be a tight race, with Biden getting by a squeaker at 290, but my gut feel is that Trump has pissed off too many people, and not just the electorate. Once it becomes obvious that Biden has won, it knocks the legs out from under the lawyers who are currently trying to do whackamole with the judicial system, as the GOPl likely want to save money for down-ballot races they can contest.
Most normal lame-duck presidents prepare for the transition during the next two months. Trump of course isn't normal, but the political appointees under him are basically going to be cleaning their desks and looking for work. Barr has already faded from the scene. My suspicion is that his family will tell him that the best thing that he can do is to retire to Mara Lago and just get out of the way.

(18,402 posts)He will try to do maximal damage during the last 3 months he remains in office (Nov. 4-Jan. 20), and will still be screaming and shouting for years after, as long as he has a Twitter audience (which he will).

(53,061 posts)Now I think he will be more focused, Barr, SOD, anyone who failed to launch a public attack on Biden.
If Deutchbank isn't going to extend his loans he needs to liquidate his assets and move them overseas.
This is very time consuming.
