NYPost ^ | 09/12/2022 | Emily Crane

Former President Donald Trump told staffers “I’m just not going to leave” the White House after losing the 2020 election — and even asked his Diet Coke valet for his opinion on whether he should stay put, a new book claims.

The tidbits from New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman’s forthcoming tome “Confidence Man” were reported Monday by CNN, where Haberman is a contributor to on-air politics coverage.

According to the book, Trump initially appeared to accept former Vice President Joe Biden’s victory, telling one adviser “we did our best” and saying to other aides that “I thought we had it.”

“We’re never leaving,” Trump told one aide, according to Haberman. “How can you leave when you won an election?”

Even if he said it, who cares? He left, didn’t he?

I thought he should’ve made a stand, like Boris Yeltsin did.

Not a bad idea.

We are in a huge Constitutional crisis and its a difficult situation.

Trump has never lost an election.

*********

But when it was all said and done Trump isn’t sitting in the
President’s chair at the White House, nor singing legislation
or other documents in the normal days routine of a president.

IIRC Isn’t Mag supposed to be the conservative voice at the NYT? Hard to imagine how the liberal contributors could be any further off the deep end.

It’s a shame that PDJT’s erstwhile favorite newspaper(and mine) has now joined the ranks of yellow journalism or FAKE NEWS!!!

I quit reading as soon as I saw Maggie Haberman.
