Biden is gonna give them the middle finger for the same reason other politicians have done. Power is not given up easily. And that is why Washington is easily the greatest of all the presidents combined for the rest of eternity. King George said as much, when he heard Washington had stepped down rather than make himself king with the fighting men he could have undoubtedly called upon, as Napoleon did.

[At the end of the Revolutionary War, many people in America and Europe thought Washington would retain the reins of power to become the leader of the new nation, or even king. When told by the American artist Benjamin West that Washington was going to resign, King George III of England said “If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world.”]

Trump should offer to quit 2 years into his second term. Just demand everything from the rats. They’ll be happy to see him go. Trump with 6 years as POTUS could run again-right?
