He won't concede--in fact he's still trying to fund-raise. He tweets as though he was the real winner, and he hasn't actually funded a recount. Honestly, I don't see him coughing up the millions to pay for one and he likely thinks his campaign cash is his if he manages to rake any in. He is good at spending other people's money.
Right in front of his eyes he can see the media is focusing on Biden. Huge motorcades and a Saturday rally that dwarfs anything DT has done. It is kind of like the celebrity person at a party that everyone is paying attention to until a bigger celebrity person walks in and suddenly everyone has moved away to the orbit of the big star. Donny boy must feel left behind.
Excitement and speculation surround Biden and Harris. A transition plan is happening. World leaders have mostly all expressed their congratulations and expectations for a brighter future. Buzz must surround DT.
He knows what he has done and why he has made everyone pledge loyalty and sign NDAs. We don't know it all yet. DT will have to come up with a fortune to fight potential future federal investigations and charges. He knew people would die. He knew he made "deals" that were crimes. He knows what he did to get re-elected--he failed. We will find it all out and it will be sickening.
Perhaps DT will resign. Pence will pardon him for any and all potential future charges. Pence will be the lame duck.
Of course he won't cop to anything. He won't concede graciously. He will be angry and bitch and moan and claim the Democrats and their witch hunts and fraud have left him no choice.
If there is a way to roll his spawn into it he will and leave the rest of his criminal administration to face the music on their own, no concern of Donny boy's. He will leave New York permanently and likely move to Florida and will fight any states' charges from there the same way he has always dealt with legal issues.
I don't see any other path for him because he is who he is. Perhaps Pence won't agree--who knows?
I bet there will be few administration records left. They are probably destroying everything in spite of being warned to preserve them. Oops!

(11,578 posts)DT was sure he was going to pull off another election steal. He and his people had been steadily putting it all together, and then after him? Another Trump--probably Ivanka. The Trump Dynasty was to include OUR county. He built fences around the White House to protect himself from the new civil war he thought people were going to fight because of it all.
His ego cannot take the reality. He failed. He can gnash his teeth and foment all the hatred he can, but it will not change a thing. Perhaps the odd nut will do some unspeakable thing for DT's cause, but any incidents will be isolated and no war will happen.
It ends with a wet fizzle. He needs to protect himself now.

DT has been a very busy chest-thumping and feces-flinging-chimpanzee for sure.
In our favor, though--judges have been tossing his challenges and the media is moving along. I don't know about Fox because it is too repellent to visit to find out.

(14,853 posts)... after writing something sarcastic and insulting to his campaign in 2016. It obviously wasn't read and it just resulted in them asking me for money!
I never bothered to block or try to unsubscribe from them, just having the e-mails automatically sent to a special folder instead.
I'm getting a LOT of them after the election! Before the election, barely at all.
Trying to pad the bank account before escaping the country? No telling from those grifters.

(2,336 posts)Except he cannot escape state charges so that'll be an issue, and his spawn are just now realizing there's no giant fortune in their future. Sad
Oh, and Mar-a-Lardo cannot be a residence so he'll need to figure that out, but hey, he's so great at negotiating, I'm sure it'll work out to everyone's satisfaction (not).
