We have to come to Realize that trump is not leaving the WH

[brettdale]

Of his own accord.

(judging by his tweets in the past 15 minutes)

So my very serious question, what is the procedure here on Jan 20th.

Is there a stand off between Trump's secret service and President Biden??

There must be something in place, for this exact situation.

[enough]

1. No standoff. Biden becomes President when inaugurated. Nothing to do with physical location

or occupying a building.

[Dreampuff]

2. Someone from Biden campaign

Made the comment that it doesn't matter if he concedes or not and that the US is fully set up and capable of removing trespassers from the White House. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

[Klaralven]

3. Blockade the McDonald's deliveries

[MustLoveBeagles]

5. And KFC

[RockRaven]

4. No. Because it is not "Trump's secret service" it is the USSS. Biden swears the oath at noon,

and then he is POTUS. At noon, regardless of whether Biden sweats the oath or not, Trump ceases to be POTUS and the USSS begins treating him as an ex-POTUS, which he is at that point.

[liberal N proud]

6. At 12:00 pm on January 20, he becomes a private citizen

This he would be trespassing

[yellowcanine]

7. No, there is not a "Trump Secret Service. There is one Secret Service and they will escort Trump

out of the WH if he does not go of his own accord. And they will box up all of his shit and send it to Mar-a-Lago or whatever is his civilian residence.

[Ahpook]

21. Plus the WH needs to be sterilized

After the super spreader has left.

I wouldn't go in that fucking thing until then.

[lastlib]

45. The stench of sulfur will make it uninhabitable for at least a year....

...I'm guessing....

[SomedayKindaLove]

8. Tweet Trump

And Real Trump are two different people

If he knows what is good for him he will leave around Christmas and never return

[regnaD kciN]

30. To quote Melania...

…”Who gives a fuck about Christmas?” — I want him out of there tomorrow.

[Thekaspervote]

9. I read post election that it would be up to Biden to decide how he would be removed if refusing

[superpatriotman]

10. The White House is fouled and unusable by any esteemed leader

And should be torn to the ground after the embarrassment of the last four years.

Put President Biden in a new home.

Noriega the current occupier out by siege if necessary.

[onecaliberal]

14. I wish they could relocate but so much history there, so no.

[Hekate]

43. No. It is the People's House & Presidents are temporary occupants. It's our history in there...

It’s not some damn Trump casino to be imploded when he’s bankrupted it and walked away.

Hell no.

[My Pet Orangutan]

11. Cut off his cable, internet and jam his cell phone.

Leave him a landline to talk to the secret service. Oh yes, and serve him salads. He won't last two days.

[solara]

12. trump is such a coward

& he is so humiliated, he will probably go to Mara Lago for the holidays and never return.

No doubt he has a bunker there as well.

[sarisataka]

13. "We" have no such realization

Trump will be realizing his wishes are not the commands of a king

[IggleDuer]

15. His staff will be terminated at noon.

They can’t get back into the White House. He’ll be alone. Cut off the phones, electricity, phone.and other communications. Jam his cell phone. Inform him that the WH will be heavily sprayed for coronavirus and other infestations that he and his staff may leave behind.

H’ll go once the spraying starts.

[Rice4VP]

50. Perfect

[jalan48]

16. Michael Cohen thinks he won't come back to DC after his Xmas stay in Merde-a-lardo.

[spooky3]

20. I think that is the best prediction of what he'll do. He has to

realize how humiliating it would be for the Secret Service, military or other authorities to physically remove him. He will comfortably hide out in Florida, whining and setting up GoFundMes.

[underpants]

28. I'd seen that. I think he can't wait to leave.

But at some point he has to publicly state or demonstrate that he lost. This does not compute with him.

[Thekaspervote]

34. Oh boy do I hope that's the case!

[RazzleCat]

40. Yes this was my thought also

He knows he has lost, he is only looking for an exit. Off to Florida for the holidays then just rage tweet, never concede and refuse to go to the inauguration.

[joshcryer]

51. The Senate, with Mike Pence, announces the next President Jan 6.

I expect he's going to waffle and try shit behind the scenes to get faithless electors to vote for him (wishful thinking), but yeah, I doubt he'll be anywhere near the White House after Jan 6. It'll be a ghost town. Luckily by then the GSA will almost certainly release the funds (Dec. 1st is the last SoS certification and Dec. 14th is when the electors in the states decide the next President).

This is over.

[Cosmocat]

52. Safe bet

nm

[Baked Potato]

17. Cut off his McD food and .GOV access.

[C_U_L8R]

18. NYS law enforcement can come pick him up.

[bullimiami]

19. regardless what he tweets. he will resign so pence can pardon him. even he isnt stupid enough

to try to pardon himself.

no scotus could let that stand. it would mean giving that power to Biden.

[mokawanis]

22. I guess we're going to have this discussion until Jan. 20

and then Biden will be in the WH and we can finally stop having this discussion.

[Bradshaw3]

39. Right there with ya

It's just ridiculous that people think this is going to happen.

[Raine]

41. Totally agree. nt

[Tarc]

23. "Trump's secret service" ? No.

These men have seen the craven bully up-close for 4 yrs. They are loyal to the office, not the man.

[lettucebe]

24. What did said tweets say?

I'm not in the mood to go find out on my own, so can you elaborate? What exactly did he tweet that makes you think this is going to be an issue?

[Baltimike]

25. Nah...I think he is gonna head to Mar a Lago and just stay there. nt

[procon]

26. Trump's official WH Twitter account will go dark.

So will all his other govt connected social media and email accounts, as well as phone and computer access.

For the first time in 4 years, Trump will have no way to communicate on the global scale he's accustomed to. He'll have to go buy new cell phones and computers, and all the necessary peripherals they need. Then he'll need to find someone to run his IT service and sign up for new accounts to everything.

Of course, Trump will have no plan in place to make this transition run smoothly. It will be his usual crap shoot where unintended hilarity ensues.

[CottonBear]

27. The person doesn't leave the office. The office leaves the person.

[Karma13612]

29. As of 12:01 PM on Jan 20, 2021

Biden will be POTUS.

The Presidency is not a physical location. It resides in the person who has that title. Our United States Secret Service will no longer answer to Trump but instead will attend to Biden.

Whenever they have the people’s White House cleared out, then Biden will step in.
In the mean time, he can run the country from Air Force 1 or other designated locations and transport facilities that are used in the event the President is not at the White House.

I just hope I have access to a TV on this auspicious day so we can watch Trump make a fool of himself. If he has decided to be a squatter.

I happen to agree with the theory that Trump will swan off to Mar-a-Lago for Christmas and just not return. I am much more interested in how they serve him with papers for his cases brewing in NY if he is in Florida. Would he pull a runner??

[David__77]

32. Why should there be a delay of even a minute?

...

[David__77]

31. I think that is a good likelihood.

And a coup would not necessarily mean mobilization of armed forces. A coup would be anything other than the organs of state power doing something other than recognizing Biden's executive authority starting on 1/20.

[Turin_C3PO]

33. Yeah

a coup is not going to happen. There is a more than zero chance that Trump refuses to leave but he ceases to be president January 21st. At that point the loyalty of the Secret Service and US Marshalls transfers to Biden. And Trump can be led out in handcuffs, if necessary.

[JI7]

35. He will leave because he doesn't want to be dragged out by the Secret Service

He may not concede and keep spewing conspiracy theories but he will never actually put himself out there to protest in any way.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

36. Packers and movers show up at the White House on January 20,

and start packing up and putting everything in moving vans.

[arlyellowdog]

37. Wish there was a betting contest

My prediction is Trump heads to Florida for good on December 20. Golfing in Virginia won’t be ok by that date. He can claim it’s Christmas vacation. He will go and not return.

[Liberty Belle]

38. Just wait 'til he goes golfing and change the White House locks.

Instruct Secret Service to take him anywhere else he chooses and he no longer will have access to Air Force One.

His belongings will be shipped to him.

End of story. He won't stay barricaded in their forever.

Oh, and no spray tans, hair dyes, access to TV or anything else until he is gone.

[Bleacher Creature]

42. Yes he will. He's ultimately a coward who fears being forced to leave.

He'll sulk off into the sunset and use it as a rallying cry to his dead-ender base.

[Progressive Jones]

44. It's all talk and posturing. Trump will leave. He knows he lost.

He just won't accept it in his head. He can't just stay.

He'll be removed in whatever manner is deemed necessary by WH security, if he were dumb and arrogant enough to refuse to vacate the premises.

[Squinch]

46. Who cares? If neceasary he will be tossed out.

[Meowmee]

47. Hopefully he will go to Merdalago

and not come back. Otherwise ss will remove him I guess.

[DeminPennswoods]

48. As Biden's campaign said,

the US Government is perfectly capable of removing trespassers from the WH.

[Rice4VP]

49. Nancy could have the Capitol Police arrest him

or Biden can order the secret service or military to remove him....just a guess.

He has no rights to the WH when his term is up

[muriel_volestrangler]

53. No, we have not "come to Realize that trump is not leaving the WH". It's now that matters.

Obsessing about a hypothetical physical "occupation" of the White House is an unhelpful distraction. As everyone has said, the Secret Service obeys the president, who, from Jan 20th, is Joe Biden. Who sits is a building is also a minor matter; it's who the government follows orders from. That will be Joe Biden.

The actual problem is that Trump is, right now, blocking the cooperation with the transition team. Don't talk about a non-problem 2 months ahead; talk about the real problem the USA has right now.

[fescuerescue]

54. The Supreme Court will hear it's first Eviction case

[Vinnie From Indy]

55. Obama was asked this question

He laughed and said, "Getting Trump out of the White House will be easy! Just cut off his cable television and Twitter and he will be out in 30 minutes!"
