Trump Illegally PRETENDING to be President - Christo Aivalis



Donald Trump is still holding secret cabinet meetings at his golf club according to Mark Meadows, who was his chief of staff in the white house. This shows Trump is pretending to be president, but it is also a dangerous undermining of democracy and the current president.

Not why would he try to carry on as usual, but why would former cabinet members waste their time meeting with him? AFAIK they aren't getting paid. Are they?

I know that is how they were referred to.
It may just part of the bs.

Maybe he can take over Epstein's old island.

Actually, he did try to use "his" Republicans in Congress on Jan 6, they're the ones who objected to their state's results. Unfortunately for Dumdum, there were not enough of them to affect anything, not even within their own states.

Dumdum is never going to admit we the people threw him out of office, his malignant narcissism prevents that. He will never be able to deal with the fact that a bunch of total nobodies were able to deprive hm of the presidency. I mean, he lost the first time and still got in, he should have gotten in the second time, right?

I'm sincerely hoping that every single Republican who objected to his state's result will be gone the next time he's up for election.

Bkess their hearts.

But Dumdum will never, ever concede. He is incapable of doing so.

Is Meadows just blowing smoke here? Or do they really have something going on behind the curtain?

Warpy's comment that "Dumdum is never going to admit that we the people threw him out of office" is so true. It must really eat at Trump's psyche and ego that he has been judged as a LOSER and America has told him "YOU'RE FIRED!".

I wonder how many of his "playmates" he's "fired" like he did in the White House - there can't be a whole lot of his former acolytes willing to take the time to play along and he'll soon be alone again - naturally.

Or maybe not.

The point is "Click on the video".

The words in the title are not meant to convey information. They are intended to get those clicks.

He was "caught", see? You can tell by his expression in the title picture which was taken from some other context entirely.

There's something about these types of clickbait videos that remains constant between them all.

You're very observant.
