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."

(53,410 posts)unless COVID 19 is completely gone. Its going to be a virtual one, like the Democratic Nomination acceptance speech and everything since. Biden isnt going to have huge crowds because he doesnt want to expose anyone to the virus. Trump wont have to go sit in a car like the rest of the guests. Itll be our first drive-in Inauguration.
Trump is the one who is directly responsible for the surge in cases this time. Hes the one who had rallies for the last month. Now everyone is getting sick.

(9,220 posts)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.

(508 posts)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.

(111,410 posts)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.
