It's a simple question. If the worst imaginable comes to pass, should Trump attend Biden's inauguration ?
Would attending the inauguration and shaking Biden's hand legitimize the shameful, sordid, and stolen election of 2020?
If I were Trump I'd leave Washington in his helicopter the morning before the inauguration. There should absolutely not be any semblance of continuity and transfer of legitimate power.
I would not give Biden or Harris or the democrat party or the media the satisfaction of any sense of legitimacy. I can already see the iniquitous smugness of the media throwing everything in Trump's face.
This act would be the line of demarcation symbolizing Good vs Evil - a clear break from the Washington Swamp and hopefully a new beginning of a new Trump Freedom Party.
Donald J. Trump should never concede. He shouldn't even give the appearance of a concession.
He should declare that he was elected by a landslide, and he will not take part in a ceremony that would tacitly condone this treasonous coup d'etat of the presidency.
No, attendance would lend legitimacy to the fraud.
Hell no!
Nope.
Ditto to “absolutely not.”
“No, attendance would lend legitimacy to the fraud.”
*******************************
Agree 100%!
“Remember the tooth, Duke Atreidis... the toooooth!”
NO.
Absolutely not.
He should hold a counter event. Invite everybody.
He should not show up. John Quincy Adams didn’t stay for Jackson’s.
And you don't 'save the Republic' by supporting a lie that's going to undermine it. You don't placate terrorists.
Trump will leave DC before China Joe takes office. He won’t and should never acknowledge the Delaware Dunce’s presidency as legit.
And his dad John Adams bailed DC the morning of Thomas Jefferson’s inauguration.
Those are words that should never be said lightly.
It would be a horrible event with incredible suffering and a high death toll.
But the Lord hates a coward.
And we are still in the middle of a coup.
That point should not be forgotten
Biden has already signaled that his inauguration would be virtual... Stating Covid-19 as the reason.
but we know better.
No way he goes out in public for inauguration or thereafter for fear of “We The People”.
:John Quincy Adams didn’t stay for Jackson’s.”
You’re right he didn’t.
So elite historians like David McCallough who loves the Adams family should have no objection and will champion Trump in his righteous cause. Yup, sure they will.
Trump didn’t even sing along at Bush I’s funeral, why the F would you think he would attend a (hypothetical) Biden inauguration?
