Trump Plans to Fight the Election Even After 'Stop the Steal' Rally Ends

[Zorro]

The president has told advisers he isn’t deterred by the setbacks in the courts and won’t be deterred by Congress certifying Joe Biden’s win.

Many of Donald Trump’s most dogmatic supporters see a mass protest in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6—just two weeks shy of Inauguration Day 2021—as their last chance to disrupt President-elect Joe Biden’s win. But for the president himself, it’s just another day to complain.

Two people familiar with the matter say that in recent days, Trump has told advisers and close associates that he wants to keep fighting in court past Jan. 6 if members of Congress, as expected, end up certifying the electoral college results.

“The way he sees it is: Why should I ever let this go?…How would that benefit me?” said one of the sources, who’s spoken to Trump at length about the post-election activities to nullify his Democratic opponent’s decisive victory.

The president’s exact plans for the Jan. 6 events remain unclear, and it has been common for him to lend his support to these rallies or protests via enthusiastic-sounding tweets, only to then stop short of doing much else. Since last week, Trump has asked certain aides and allies what they think would be good ideas for him to mark the occasion, such as a speech, a flyover, or a recorded video, the sources said.

1. How can I miss him if he won't go away?

Just kidding, I won't ever miss him. But I do dream about the day he is sitting in a rocker, all alone, wrapped in a blanket, drooling and muttering to himself: I am still the President. I won I won I won!

2. Paging Miss Havisham.

That day may not be as far off as you think. He's already displaying signs of dementia.

8. Good literary allusion!

3. Wait, WHAT? A FLYOVER? WTFF???

Like the kind they do at football games?

Hell maybe he should order the Marines into the streets to march with the cult members, in uniform, but holding signs up to 'stop the steal' and 'trump 2024 - make america great again ... again!'

Maybe roll some tanks with 'em too.

Srsly, WTFF?

9. I think it's a great idea.

Walk over to the Truman Balcony, spread his arms, and jump. Do a few barrel rolls, fly over the protests ( "It's a pelican! It's a blimp! No, it's Dear Leader!" ), do a quick pass over the Capitol, and return. Nothing too showy. Boy, that'll learn 'em!

4. Throwing his support behind protests??!! They aren't protests they're armed violent fights

That end up as free for all brawls

5. The Church of Trump. It's the new evangelism. Same pitch, just a different wrapper

He will milk the suckers as long as they continue to pay. Why stop passing the basket now and tax free.

6. he will fade away when gop begins looking towards 2024 elections

7. Now that he has announced his plans

all social media sites should ban him and any of his buddies who call for violence.

12. He'll fight it as long as he keeps getting donations. If that $ well dries up, so will he.

But I'm not optimistic that cultists will wiseup.

13. Never thought I'd get to see a good old-fashioned sedition trial in my lifetime,

but Donny sure seems to want one.
