More clearly than this, we will probably never hear President Trump admit defeat. It is also an acknowledgment that his coup attempt failed.
But there are almost two months left in which Trump can continue to divide the nation and make it difficult for his successor.

Donald Trump.
President Trump has never been so quiet as in the past two weeks. Until last night, he had not once responded to media inquiries since it became clear that Joe Biden had won the presidential election.
And once he did, it wasn’t to admit defeat, but to keep spreading his unproven allegations of voter fraud. Claims rejected as unfounded by various courts in different states.
But in a direct question, he promised to leave the White House on January 20 in case the College of Electors, when it meets on December 14, votes to nominate Joe Biden as the winner.
“You know yes,” he added.
But that is exactly the problem. That no one could trust Trump to leave the White House despite losing the election.
Rather than acknowledge the election result in which Joe Biden won a clear victory, the president has attempted to carry out a coup by pressuring election officials, the courts, and friends of the party to try in various ways to manipulate the result in favor. of the president.
At the same time, he accuses his opponents of electoral fraud.
After tonight’s press conference, the president was not satisfied with the fact that the media in his reports focused on his statement that he would leave if Biden was named the winner.
– My main message was that the election was rigged and that I won, Trump writes on Twitter.
Then your recognition feels anything but safe.
Crazy
Unpredictability is one of the things that has been the biggest problem with Trump as president, both for the United States and for the world at large. You can never trust him not to say one thing in one moment to have completely changed in the next.
That’s also why so many people look at Donald Trump’s remaining time in the White House with more of a certain concern. What are you going to invent?
The other day, he pardoned Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser, who admitted he lied to the FBI in the Russia investigation. One way for Trump to undermine the findings of the investigation that Russia tried to influence the 2016 US presidential election to win the real estate billionaire.
The suspicion is that Trump will continue to pardon former employees who were convicted as a result of the Russia investigation. There are a lot of them.
Perhaps Trump’s zeal for forgiveness extends so far that he even tries to try to forgive himself. Or quit just early and let Vice President Mike Pence do the work.
Because, aside from the fact that he can’t lose, there is another compelling reason why Trump is so reluctant to leave the White House.
You risk jail time and heavy fines.
Fraud
A lawsuit is already pending in New York where one of his foundations is suspected of fraud and the tax authorities are after him with a blowtorch. As soon as he ceases to be president, all procedural immunity disappears. You can count on having to spend much of your fortune on attorney bills to avoid having to shake the bars.
Over the past two weeks, it appears that Trump has stopped working for the presidency, despite the corona pandemic now hitting the United States in full force with more than two thousand deaths every day from covid-19.
Trump has primarily watched television, played golf, and tweeted angrily about voter fraud.
Next Saturday he will travel to Georgia to campaign for the two Republican senators who have been forced to participate in a second round of elections to defend their seats. Elections that determine which party wins power in the Senate.
Trump has realized that it is still important to him that Republicans retain the majority. That makes it harder for Democrats to launch investigations against the president.
The meetings will also mark the first time Trump has met with his constituents after the presidential election. Campaign meetings give you a lot of energy and can influence your actions during the continuation of the transition period.
No one will be surprised if the focus is on destroying for Biden.
That Donald Trump is leaving the White House voluntarily, I believe it only when I see that he did the last thing on the morning of January 20 of next year.
