Is Donald Trump planning to stage a signature Trump stunt on the day of Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration?
Politics
Already, there’s word out of Washington that when Donald Trump leaves The White House for his annual Christmas/New Year’s holiday at Mar-a-Lago, he has no desire or intention to return. However, could ‘The Donald’ be cooking up a Trump stunt that’s much more diabolical and sinister?
According to Axios, the vengeful and defiant Donald Trump will never concede, never admit defeat, and never play nice as Joe Biden is sworn-in as the 46th President of the United States while he’s relegated to the sidelines to watch as a pathetic loser. His narcissistic ego would never allow it. Instead, he has concocted a spectacular, made-for-TV Trump stunt designed to steal the limelight from President-elect Joe Biden on his special day.
In a report from Axios and NBC News, sources say Trump will skip the morning inauguration pleasantries, the meet-and-greet of the incoming president, the traditional ride to the Capitol for the ceremony, and the actual inauguration. Instead, ‘The Donald’ will hold a huge rally for his MAGA minions at the exact hour of the Biden inauguration where he will claim victory that he won the election (even though he didn’t), that the election was rigged (even though it wasn’t), that he is the rightful heir to the new Republican Party, and that he intends to run again and regain his rightful place as president in 2024.

“The former network star is privately discussing using his waning powers as commander in chief to order up the exit he wants after dissing Biden by refusing to concede the election, welcome him to the White House or commit to attending his inauguration. The Trump talk could create a split-screen moment: the outgoing president addressing a roaring crowd in an airport hangar while the incoming leader is sworn in before a socially distanced audience outside the Capitol.” – Axios

If true, this presumed Trump stunt might survive the news cycle for a good 24 hours — until Trump is left mumbling “I Won” over and over to himself as a has-been who’s no longer a priority on every television screen in the world. Or, in other words, any activity from Trump would very likely end up as a great big Nothing Burger.
Joe Biden has already made it crystal clear he couldn’t care less if Donald Trump does or does not attend the inauguration. The event will go on no matter who is or isn’t there.
Additionally, Mr. Biden does not need a traditional meet-and-greet at The White House between the outgoing and incoming president. He already knows the entire place like the back of his hand and intends to begin firing on all cylinders on day one.
As for suggestions of Donald Trump using Inauguration Day to announce his bid for 2024, such a move would very likely be nothing more than a cheap and predictable Trump stunt. After all, the New York Southern District Court and the New York State Attorney General’s office each have plans for Trump and his clan that will certainly conflict with his availability in 2024.
Whew! At first glance DJ, I thought you had fallen for Trump’s foolishness and was going to react like the Henny Pennies on CNN and MSNBC, having a “the sky is falling” hissy fit over the fact that Trump will never concede. And he might not attend the inauguration. Those folks really should seek help for their Trump fixation.
But I digress…….
To my great relief, by the conclusion of your post, you fully restored my faith in you my good man, beginning with this sentence:

Thank you!
