Michael Cohen thinks Trump will skip Biden's inauguration so the cameras can't capture him as 'a los

Michael Cohen is pretty sure President Trump will head south for the winter and never come back.

Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney and fixer, told MSNBC's Ari Melber on Tuesday evening that Trump likes to go to his Florida club Mar-a-Lago during Christmas, and thinks that after spending the holidays there, he won't return to Washington. "I don't believe he's going to go to the inauguration because he himself fundamentally cannot sit in a chair knowing that the cameras are on him and that the world is looking at him as a loser," Cohen said. "He cannot do that." Trump, he added, does "not have the inner strength in him to be gracious."

Trump has been stalling the transition and installing loyalists in top government positions, but Cohen told Melber he's not worried about Trump refusing to vacate the office. Trump "talks a lot of nonsense," he said, and "99.9 percent of everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. He's not going to stay in the White House past Jan. 20. They will remove him. He knows that."

Cohen also discussed Trump's campaign sending out emails to supporters, asking for money to fill his "election defense fund." The small print shows that 60 percent of the donations will go to paying off campaign debt, which didn't surprise Cohen. "He's going to use this like he used the Trump Foundation," he said. "As a slush fund."

Clinton, W, and Obama. Even if Trump turned up, there would still only be three presidents in attendance.

How he decides to not be there will be telling and just reinforce everything else he has demonstrated through his four years.

That would be the actions of a reasonable, responsible adult. That ain't how he rolls.

I’ve thought all along that he will leave a few days before the 20th so he can control the message and use the trappings of the Imperial Presidency one last time.

He's got a busy golf schedule, and he doesn't go to anything (including veterans' cemeteries) where he's not the center of attention and, above all, a winner.

unless COVID 19 is completely gone. It’s going to be a virtual one, like the Democratic Nomination acceptance speech and everything since. Biden isn’t going to have huge crowds because he doesn’t want to expose anyone to the virus. Trump won’t have to go sit in a car like the rest of the guests. It’ll be our first drive-in Inauguration.

Trump is the one who is directly responsible for the surge in cases this time. He’s the one who had rallies for the last month. Now everyone is getting sick.

announce the beginning of his Trump 2024 campaign during President Biden's swearing in ceremony.

He will then continue to milk his brainwashed MAGAts of their cash until - like the cheap, snake oil evangelist he is - one day god calls him home through the medium of a final, greasy bucket of KFC.

He will stiff any unpaid contractors to the campaign just like he stiffs all his business contractors. That "60 percent of the donations" will go to his favorite charity - himself.

The recounts will be done and the results certified in mid December. That's when he'll skedaddle.

The transition will be stonewalled until the vote is certified. Biden knew this would happen. He's got it covered, including having raised nearly as much transition money as he should be getting from the government.
