If Trump tries to stay in the WH past noon 1/20, there's a simple way to get him to leave quietly...

Remember, after noon, WH workers answer to the incoming administration. No need for dragging him out or anything.

Have the kitchen start making mashed potatoes. Lots and lots of mashed potatoes. Put in carry-out orders to restaurants to add capacity.

Scrounge up every medium-sized bowl in the WH inventory that isn't valuable on its own. Start a drive a week or two beforehand to borrow/rent bowls from DC residents and restaurants.

Show him a sea of bowls of mashed potatoes that will be dumped on his head until he leaves. Dozens, hundreds of them.

If he thinks it's a bluff, start following through. Dump a bowl on his head and everybody laugh. Then dump another bowl and repeat. And repeat. And repeat.

He'll leave. Either when faced with it, or after the first with the second looming, and all those others behind it. Meekly, and dodging attention as hard as he can manage.

Even better if they can dredge up someone who can do a passable Fred Trump impression.

But President Obama’s plan is easier. Just turn off TV and wi-fi, and Trump will be out in 20 minutes.

You have to get under his skin so that he doesn't just leave, he flees.

I was going to hold a bucket of KFC right outside next to his car, and when he lumbers out, I'd toss the bucket in the back seat, wait for him to fall in, slam the door, and yell, "Drive!" to the driver.

at night, to head to Mar-a Lago. I'd love to see him barricade himself in the WH residence with a pair of 6 guns, though.....

.... everytime you dump mashed potatoes on his head - pour a pint of warm gravy on top of the potatoes.

He will only take that for a few moments knowing the mess that will make of his beautiful, impeccable, thick, manly, and wavy coiffure.

Is hairspray / gravy soluble,.. a friend wants to know ?

dump a ton of raw potatoes on his head, then just carry him out on a stretcher.

Hurt nothing but his feelings.

His extremely delicate, childish fee-fees.

He fears that even more than he fears pain, and he fears that a hellova lot.

damage is MY goal.

Humiliation is a secondary goal...but he'd be humiliated when a 75 year old at 145 lbs kicked his sorry ass into submission.

But, I like this better. It would be fitting if Mary Trump got to dump the first bowl.

Plus, tranqs would be a bother to whoever has to drag his carcass out.

I want to make him flee.

Wed Dec 16, 2020, 10:28 PM
Dec 2020

on his then-seven-year-old brother's head, it wounded Donald's pride so deeply that he'd still be bothered by it when Maryanne brought it up in her toast at the White House birthday dinner in 2017. The incident wasn't a big deal - or it shouldn't have been. Donald had been tormenting Robert, again, and nobody could get him to stop. Even at seven, he felt no need to listen to his mother, who, having failed to heal the rift between them after her illness, he treated with contempt. Finally, Robert's crying and Donald's needling became too much, and in a moment of improvised expedience that would become family legend, Freddy picked up the first thing at hand that wouldn't cause any real damage: the bowl of mashed potatoes.

Everybody laughed, and they couldn't stop laughing. And they were laughing at Donald. It was the first time that Donald had been humiliated by someone he even then believed to be beneath him. He hadn't understood that humiliation was a weapon that could be wielded by only one person in a fight. That Freddy, of all people could drag him into a world where humiliation could happen to him made it so much worse. From then on, he would never allow himself to feel that feeling again. From then on, he would wield the weapon, never be at the sharp end of it."
