Maggie Haberman: no one I have talked to thinks he will refuse to leave.

Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT

People close to the president question whether he will invite Biden to the WH before inauguration. Or if he'll go to the inauguration himself. He does not care about the norms of the office. But no one I have talked to thinks he will refuse to leave.

if he doesn't leave on 1/20, but he won't go gracefully.

What ever form that's going to take.

I almost picture him sneaking out of the White House, under cover of darkness - maybe crouched in the back of a van.

He just likes watching Fox news and doing rallies because it soothes his needs as a narcissist.

That's more than worth the inconvenience of having to sleep in a "dump" like the White House.

I won't bet that he refuses to go but he's going down kicking and screaming.

Carrying water for trump like she has done many times before.

Of course he'll refuse to leave, he just has no choice.

When she says "no one I have talked to" is she talking about her mom?

The unofficial spokes person from the White House issued a bit of spew. Narcissistic Trump will do what ever it takes to look strong and controlling. Watch and see him bail in the dead night.

More concerning should be does his mental state collapse and O.D.'s .

people. He doesn't need to meet with an imbecile. Trump himself will add nothing to the transition except to try to get rid of incriminating evidence against himself.
