What are the odds that Trump holds his own inauguration where HE is sworn in as President?

[DetlefK]

On the day of Biden's inauguration, Trump will be sworn in a President by some evangelical miscreant. Mike Huckabee or Rick Santorum or whoever.

HE WILL NOT DO THIS TO LAY CLAIM TO ACTUAL EXECUTIVE POWER.
He will do this as a symbolical gesture, to further inflame his crazy followers, to further polarize US society, to lay claim to the Presidency symbolically.

Why?





Oh, you sweet innocent thing. For money of course!

It's a method as old as time, tested and true: If you want people to follow you and to give you money, simply tell them that they have always been lied to and that YOU are the first to tell them the truth and that THEY are smart and heroic for believing your truth. And for donating to you. That last bit is very important.





What's this, you say? That if Trump pretends to be sworn in as US-President, then he cannot run as a candidate in 2024?
WRONG.
Trump has already said that he deserves a 3rd term because Obama spied on his campaign.
This way, Trump can be President from 2017-2020, then claim to be President 2021-2024, and then run again for office in 2024.

It all makes sense if you think like a deplorable.

2. I am laughing - but

someone in his administration or the Senate is writing this down as a possible maneuver.

3. 18 USC 912

Whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof, and acts as such, or in such pretended character demands or obtains any money, paper, document, or thing of value, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

6. Shh, don't tell him!!!

Nice find.

7. Rich people are exempt from the law in the US.

SDNY is currently investigating Trump for financial crimes, but those are state-prosecutors.

Can you imagine the fallout if a Biden-DOJ tries to prosecute the republican candidate-for-President Donald Trump for ANY crime?
- The GOP would go even further in sabotaging Biden than they did with Obama.
- The MAGAs will start actual domestic terror-attacks.
- And while the country burns, the mainstream-media (and especially the NYT) will happily play bothsiderism.

17. SDNY

SDNY is Federal, Manhattan DA and NY AG are State.

4. I am convinced, that at the same time

of Biden's inauguration, at the least he will have a rally and probably get Fox, if not another network, to shift coverage, at least for a while.

5. I don't think even his base would be down with

that. It sounds bath!t crazy and only someone who has lost touch with reality would do that

[DetlefK]

8. Money donated by batshit crazy people is still money.

15. Beg to differ. They would.

As a multitude of them refuse to recognize Biden as THEIR President, without Trump, there is no President. Therefore, in their eyes, swearing him in for a second term off campus would make sense to them.

9. He's going to pout and tweet.

At most, he might play a round of golf, but I seriously doubt it.

[obamanut2012]

10. Oh, I thought of that two days ago!

And, now, I wonder if that's what Kayleigh could have meant.

I could totally see Franklin Graham or Rudy swearing him in.

11. I can't think like a Deplorable. To quote a Terry Pratchett character, "I have medication", and

that's what tRUMP, reTHUGS and deplorables/cultists need.

[Ilsa]

12. I hope at Easter,

He crucifies himself. I'd watch it on PPV.

[Brother Mythos]

14. I think the odds are higher for Trump giving himself an Emmy Award.

After all, he started whining about not receiving an Emmy long before he became POTUS.

[Tanuki]

19. At first glance I misread this as "Trump giving himself an Enema..."

Thanks for the laugh!

18. Even more likely: He'll have a fake Oval Office set up, he'll sit behind a replica Resolute desk....

..and bark orders to Kellyskank Spinway and Mc-Imaniny all the while with Pence behind him holding him up. That and the odious Miller on the red phone faking an order to the Pentagon to nuke NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia and other blue voting areas.

Malaria lying naked, on a fur Don Jr. shot in Russia, while cuddled up on a couch. Betsy Devoid shouting out they'll take away my SS protection after prying them out of my cold, dead hands. Ben Carson reaching between his legs with both hands to find his ass, something he could not do in 4 years of trying.

I could go on and on...............
