Frustrated by the loss of his Twitter account and forced to accept that he soon must leave office, President Trump has effectively stopped doing his job, delegating daily responsibilities to Vice President Mike Pence while hunkering down with a shrinking group of acquiescent aides and contemplating additional presidential pardons. Trump had considered leaving the White House before his final day in office Wednesday, even as early as this weekend, but he has opted to depart on the morning of President-elect Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day, according to two people familiar with discussions who cautioned that, with Trump, plans are always subject to change.
Intrigued by the idea of upstaging Biden, the president has requested a major send-off. It would begin with a throng of cheering, flag-waving staffers and supporters to see him off on the White House’s South Lawn, according to a person familiar with the planning, and continue to a more formal ceremony at Joint Base Andrews, featuring a red carpet, military band, color guard and 21-gun salute. He would make his final Air Force One flight to Florida, to take up residence at Mar-a-Lago, his West Palm Beach, Fla., estate.
While Trump is still unwilling to formally concede to Biden directly, or to participate in the traditional show of the peaceful transfer of power by attending his successor’s swearing-in, Pence on Thursday called Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and “congratulated her and offered assistance ahead of inauguration,” according to a person familiar with the call.

Let me guess. Pence is looking forward to a BIG PAY DAY.
LA Times, nuff said
Fake “news.”
We have witnessed a coup.
Lies.

Every day they have to write another hate-Trump article and this is the one for today. They just make up the stories. It’s pure agit-prop from the totalitarian Left, which includes the media.
Nice try a$$holes.
“Barf”
LALA Times missed quite a few things the President has done in ths last week. Just as well, they tear down down p..everything he does anyway.
I wonder if they are making up stuff like this as they know that Biden will barely get out of the starting gate as President without being that kind of huge disappointment to many.

Traditionally, reporters would embroider and distort, but actually talk to a living person who was actually someone in a position to say something about the events in question. Today, fiction is the order of the day.

You are correct. If Trump did this, he then could be removed under the 25h Amendment.
The author of this article is an idiot
LA Times. Another blathering rag which doesn’t have time to uncover the mountains of Democrat corruption. Jackasses.
The political slant of the article belies the author’s hatred of POTUS.
Another interpretation: Trump is busy wrapping up some things, and has told Pence to fill in on ceremonial appearances.
So Pence is calling out the 25000 national guard and locking down DC then like Baghdad then?
Yeah - that’d make sense...
President Trump doesn't quit, nor run
