That's the one. He's odds on to bet some kind of stake in it and use it as a platform for his 2024 Presidential bid.

Yes, but assuming the following:

(1) That he even decides to run. He hasn't processed his loss yet, and feels it so deeply that he is still in total denial despite having had clear indications that his case was hopeless for many months. We have no way of knowing what sort of mental state he will emerge from this denial in, if he ever emerges.

(2) That he can get a major party to back him. Unless the Republicans for some crazy reason decide to go back into the nightmare, they won't want Trump. They will look for someone semi-sane and more electable. Mike Pence is a possible, though he is tainted by his Trump association.

(3) That he can find the money. He is deeply in debt, and without his Presidential immunity, the lenders are going to demand cash, not more dud promises.

(4) That he is not in jail. His tax affairs are looking seriously fraudulent and there are several other matters outstanding. Prosecution for fraud is very likely, and we should not ignore the possibility that some of his other dealings will come out. The Putin link in particular needs to be teased out. The minimum - that is minimum, not maximum - penalty for treason in the USA is five years in the clink.

Bye Donald.

See you when you get out. If you get out.

Too bad those people were dead when they voted.

See you in the Surpreme court.
Give it up, it is over!
Cheers big ears

Trump’s legacy is the rampant and out of control Corna-Virus in the USA, the support for the right wing racist crazies and his environmental devastation.

What a contrast with Biden’s victory speech: clear, definite, healing, generous and lovely. Wow what a difference. Oh yeah he’s got dementia

But the Republican Party itself hates him. With good reason.

Biden leads Nevada now by about 37,500 votes and Georgia by about 10,200. So far as I can see, there's been no counting in Arizona or Pennsylvania today (or, if there has, it's been trivial).

He's the first president in 30+ years not to declare war on another country.

Does causing civil war in ur own country count? He’d be the first in 30+ years and that is a legacy referred to.
