Only one public appearance in a week

Other than his extremely brief visit to Arlington yesterday, Trump has not appeared in public since his lie-filled press conference after the election a week ago. It's been one full week since we've had to hear his whiny voice or see his dumb face or watch his ridiculous, tiny accordion hands. Has he ever gone this long without putting himself in the public eye? I don't think I realized how stressful it's been to be under the constant barrage of having to see and hear him. This week has been a relief!

I know there are machinations going on behind the scenes, and sure, he's still tweeting. But to me, his reluctance to be seen in public seems to be the greatest indicator that Trump KNOWS he's a loser and is deeply humiliated. If he truly thought he was winning, or could win, he would be holding press conferences, arranging rallies, and crowing every chance he got. But...nothing. Just the sounds of beautiful, glorious silence.

If he would have won, he would have simply stopped doing the job and just ran his businesses while holding Hate rallies.

usually to get top stories, and usually change the channel due to the flood of fatnixon stories ... this morning, no mention of him for 30 minutes at the start ...
I changed channels before my luck changed

It was a relief

Top story is rightfully COVID. Biden's pressers are capturing the attention. Trump being relagted to also-ran. Total lame duck.

BTW. So, so , SO impressed with Biden's press conferences. Honest. Professionally packaged. Exudes competency.

I'm just glad he's staying silent during this time so Biden can lead. If he was out there in public, he'd just be making it worse. It's so nice to have a calm adult in the room for a change who is trying to help our country get through this.
