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

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.
