.
Newly elected House Republicans were taken to the White House, but Trump didnt come down from the residence and greet them.
The Politico Playbook reported:
LAST NIGHT, MCCARTHYs staff took the newly elected Republicans to the White House. Masks were mandatory even MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE wore it for most of the time. Utah GOP candidate BURGESS OWENS had his race called in his favor during the White House tour.
INTERESTING TO NOTE: President DONALD TRUMP did not come down to meet the group. He did send his well wishes.
With the exception of one lie-filled coronavirus response update, Donald Trump has locked himself in the residence part of the White House and sulked. The only time he has gone out is to bilk the taxpayers of money to visit one of his clubs to play golf.
It is as if Trump is so broken by the idea of losing the election that he cant be around people who won their elections because it only reinforces what a loser he is.
This sort of classless behavior is to be expected by Trump. He wasnt working in the Oval Office. There was no reason for him not to come down and greet the newly elected House Republicans beyond the fact that the President is pouting.

Did we expect him to behave any differently?

(16,529 posts)In Trump's mind, losing at anything is the most shameful thing imaginable, so hobhobbing with a bunch of people who all just won their respective races would be unbearably humiliating to him. It's a warped way to react to losing an election, but he IS warped, and everything he's done since November 3 has been completely warped. This incident is perfectly consistent with what what we know about his personality and with all the other things he's done in response to losing.
While I'm here, I will add that I almost hope he doesn't make a concession speech after all this time. I can't imagine him getting through it without launching into a tirade about imaginary election fraud, and that wouldn't be beneficial to anyone or anything.

I remember reading other, similar accounts saying basically he spent weeks, holed up alone in a dark bedroom talking on the phone and eating garbage. The VF article is the only one I can find at the moment.
AMERICA divorced him.

This guy has been just a menace to humanity. He really is a sociopath or even psychopath.

NEWLY-ELECTED U.S. REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE ATTACKS HOUSE RULES REQUIRING MASK USE
Greene calls mask use 'oppressive,' saying that in Georgia, 'we work out ... shop ... go to work ... without masks.'
Author: Michael King (11ALIVE)

ATLANTA Newly-elected US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R - 14th Dist., Ga.), has attacked rules the House of Representatives has established regarding mask use and protection against COVID-19.
Greene, known for her support of the controversial conspiracy theories of the group called "QAnon," insisted, in a tweet on Friday afternoon that in Georgia, "we work out, shop, go to restaurants, go to work, and school without masks."
Her tweet complained that masks are "oppressive."
"Our first session of New Member Orientation covered COVID in Congress," Greene tweeted. "Masks, masks, masks... I proudly told my freshman class that masks are oppressive."

(8,072 posts)Thanks for the post. I'm sure they were disappointed they weren't able to see their "Dear (Loser) Leader." And Wow..."Masks were mandatory. Even MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE wore it for most of the time."
Thank God in Heaven Biden/Harris won and we kept the House. dt brings out the worst in EVERYBODY (including me I'm ashamed to say). I was just thinking to myself I wish I could be there to "bully" new Representative Greene.....I guess I'll need to go back to therapy....
