Secret Documents, Beating Fans, And Broken Traditions: Why Trump Is Still Dangerous Even In Retirement
306 of 538 voters voted for Joe Biden on Monday. He is now officially elected. But Trump does not dream of abdicating.
Donald Trump doesn’t want to give up, ever.
It was a belated satisfaction for the Clinton couple. On Monday, Hillary and Bill Clinton, former presidential candidate and former president, served as electors and officially elected Joe Biden as president of the state of New York. A total of 306 of the 538 voters voted for the Democrat nationwide and officially announced the end of the presidency of Donald Trump.
With the voters’ choice, Biden is one step closer to the White House. But Trump continues to play a dangerous role. For these four reasons:
1) Trump breaks with America’s best tradition.
The current president of the United States still refuses to admit defeat. In all likelihood, he will not attend his successor’s inauguration on January 20. By doing so, you are sabotaging one of America’s best traditions, the peaceful transfer of power from one president to another. This is unprecedented in recent American history.
2) Trump’s most extreme supporters fight savagely.
Trump continues to diligently distribute on Twitter against local politicians (for example, in the state of Georgia, where two major Senate votes are pending). But even ordinary ATMs are covered in hate letters from Trump supporters. It has been proven multiple times in recent days that these are not just empty threats. Some staunch fans of the president-elect are openly violent. Several hundred members of the extremist “Proud Boys” marched through the capital, Washington over the weekend and the brawls began.
3) Trump does not care about his government responsibility.
Finally, some good news: On Monday, people in the United States were vaccinated for the first time with the new vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech. But even in the best of cases, the coronavirus will take about five months to get under control. Until then, the United States will continue to face an economic and health crisis. Currently, more than 109,000 Americans with Covid-19 must be treated in a hospital. But Trump seems to have lost interest in governing. It simply did not react to the widespread hacker attack by Russian circles against the Ministry of Finance and Trade, which was unveiled over the weekend.
4) Trump has more information on classified information.
And even after Joe Biden is sworn in on January 20, 2021, Trump will not simply walk off the stage, but will continue to sabotage the work of his successor. You benefit from the fact that the right-wing media will offer you a platform. Trump also has access to Secret Service information even when he’s retired. You can disclose state secrets however you like and contradict the government of your successor with the help of secret documents. That would be unprecedented and would require Trump to study the relevant files, but the president has shown that he does not want to meet the requirements, probably not even in retirement.
