Trump's wild Inauguration Day exit
Axios ^

President Trump is considering a made-for-TV grand finale: a White House departure on Marine One and final Air Force One flight to Florida for a political rally opposite Joe Biden's inauguration, sources familiar with the discussions tell Axios.
Why it matters: The former network star is privately discussing using his waning powers as commander in chief to order up the exit he wants after dissing Biden by refusing to concede the election, welcome him to the White House or commit to attending his inauguration.
The big picture: The Trump talk could create a split-screen moment: the outgoing president addressing a roaring crowd in an airport hangar while the incoming leader is sworn in before a socially distanced audience outside the Capitol, as NBC News first reported.
Immediately announcing he is running for re-election in 2024 would set up four years of Trump playing Biden's critic-in-chief. The visual also would embody the vast difference in the two leaders' approaches to the pandemic. And flying off from the South Lawn before landing in Florida would let Trump escape protests, the normal pleasantries of welcoming the incoming president to the White House — and sitting there while Biden takes the oath of office.
What they’re saying: The Trump campaign declined to comment on his plans.

Can’t be because Trump will be busy at his own inauguration.

He said if the illegalities are as widespread as thought, biden could not be president.
That doesn’t sound like he’s going anywhere on that date.
He should stay where he belongs.

I always love these bullshit stories about Trump that are from radical Left sources with their information coming from "sources familiar with the discussions".
The hair on the back of my neck immediately sticks out. This is FAKE NEWS.

I don’t think that this is “the” plan.
A contingency plan, certainly.

100 percent, no acknowledgment of a fake President, and then get to work recruiting multiracial, multi- ethnic American 1st candidates in 2022, to win and primary the remaining rhino dead wood. But first the man deserves a rest, and a congratulations for one of the greatest Presidencies ever.

AND, he should have a swearing in ceremony in the Oval Office, rubbing Chief Weasel John Robert’s snout in it by having Mrs. Justice Barrett swear him in for Term #2!

It’s the EXTREME Left-Wing Axios pushing this garbage.
Reader beware!
They’d like nothing more than to demoralize you.

Well, that certainly is the polar opposite of Trump refusing to leave, declaring the election illegitimate due to fraud and foreign interference, invoking the Insurrection Act and declaring martial law.
I think I like my ending better.

Is it a left wing site? Check.
Are the sources unnamed? Check.
Are the sources "close" to the President and sharing intimate details? Check.
Is the story left what the want to hear right now?
CHECK. It is another made up story.
To: Alter Kaker
sources, more puke from the delirious pukes
