Team Trump: President-Elect To Take Victory Tour Through States He Won

Trump's Victory Tour

Donald Trump is planning a victory tour through states he won in the presidential election after Thanksgiving, according to a Trump staff member.

"We’re working on a victory tour now, it will happen in the next couple of weeks," George Gigicos, the director of Trump's advance team, said on Thursday, adding that it would occur following Thanksgiving, according to a President-elect pool report.

He said that on his tour Trump will "obviously" visit "the states that we won and the swing states we flipped over."


He's gonna need all the adulation he can get.

or any military aircraft, for that matter. He's still not the president, just a regular civilian.

God forbid when he has access to Air Force One, however (and I know AF1 is just a call sign, not an aircraft -- we just associate the call sign with the 747). He's going to find reasons to fly it all over the world to show off his new toy.

He's about to become President of the United States. I would imagine even for the most experienced candidate ever there would be a LOT to be doing to get ready -- let alone for the most inexperienced one.

Maybe he can boost his turnout with free whiskey and guns for all attendees.

As I've said before, he doesn't want the job of President, just the spotlight.

He's already missing the ego strokes. And things aren't going to get any easier from here on out.

Yep. It's stomach churning. I just don't know if this country is gonna exist in any real sense anymore. It's a one bad thing away from martial law actually.

On the bright side, he could wear out his welcome before he's sworn in. He has no one to run against, no hate to monger - if he's just his weird, unscripted self, this could be very off-putting.
