A Farewell Tour?

Remember Trump's unending rallies *after* the election of 2016? His "victory lap?" What if he is convinced that one way to make his (loss) palatable is to stage "Farewell Until 2024" rallies? He would get the crowds and cheering, the opportunity to spread more lies and poison (and covid), and the big cheers will reassure him that he's loved.

I worry about this happening. I don't think he enjoyed any part of being president as much as he enjoyed the cheers of his crowds.
I'm concerned that the MAGATS will stay riled up and will create problems between now and the foreseeable future.

1. The loss has taken a lot out of him. He was already cutting the rallies short before the election

THAT one got me!

Maybe encourage Moscow Mitch and Pompeo to attend - tell them it's a tribute to Herman Cain!

3. If a farewell tour will get him to move on -

let him.

His current status is extremely dangerous for a number of reasons - national security, inabilty of the Biden administration to prepare for transition, dragging out the uncertainty, etc.

If he needs a vicroy lap to get it out of his system, I can't imagine it will do much more damage than he has already done, as to COVID - and it might do some good on other fronts.

Why would you even CONSIDER giving him that idea?

Then again, if it were possible I'm sure he's already thought about it.

AND, I am sure you are right - it would not be a good situation - oodles of idiots, er, MAGATS out there supporting their LOSER one more time - getting drunk on the "elixir of venom" spewing from his mouth.

I would certainly expect any such event to be a serious security problem, especially for any media assigned to cover it.

GAWD, why can't he just STFU and go to Mar-A-Lago for 2 months and give ALL of us a break!

AF1 wouldn't be available to him and no bus companies are going to extend credit. Maybe he can hitchhike.

He can start in Montana, I hear the weather is great there this time of year.
