Pretty sure he could get a deal on Idi Amin’s old villa in Saudi Arabia.

Doesn’t want to lick his wounds before a crowd? Sad.

If not for his desire for revenge I’d bet we’d never see him again.

Is he afraid after the election night results they won’t let him back in the White House? Or does he need easy access to the bunker when he refuses to concede and the people show up to throw him out on his ear?

Yep…this has nothing to do with it. I put money on one of two reasons (maybe both) lack of ticket buyers and /or fear of being outed as a loser in front of a crowd…

The change of election night plans also comes as some Democrats have raised questions about the intermingling of Trump’s business with his office as president — and the move to host an event at his Washington hotel would likely reinforce those concerns, the Times points out.

Oh please, name one damned time Trump has been shamed or intimidated or warned off of a grift relating to his Presidency.

Assuming the poll numbers hold up and the Supreme Court doesn’t intervene, I think we can safely assume Trump will be at Mar-a-Lago, out of the country, or golfing during Biden’s inauguration. And from wherever he is, he’ll tweet-mock the “tiny” crowd in attendance.

“The change of election night plans also comes as some Democrats have raised questions about the intermingling of Trump’s business with his office as president — and the move to host an event at his Washington hotel would likely reinforce those concerns, the Times points out”

Did that make more sense to see in an article in 2016 than 2020?

“some Democrats have raised questions”

Some. Really just one or two. No biggie really, it was just a passing thought.

Not disputing this, but if this holds true why the hell did he accept the presidency? He ran because of his ego and a plan to rebrand himself, but he never expected to win. So he knew he was totally unfit and unprepared for such a hard, important job. Public humiliation was almost a given in those circumstances. Why plow on ahead anyway?

I know, I’m expecting rationality from the mental equivalent of a kumquat seed, but still…

I literally said that out loud as I was reading the part you quoted. If that had anything to do with it he’d just move his event to Mar A Lago. I’m pretty surprised that wasn’t the plan all along.

I was absolutely convinced he was going to fly down to Merde-a-Barfo and surround himself with a bunch of slavering sycophants.

Perhaps he still will.

More like the invitees, as these would be VIP types, RSVP’d with a “no thanks”, “previously engaged”, and “oh hell no to your petri dish of Covid-19 you loser.” So they cancelled for lack of attendees.

If Trump loses it won’t surprise if he spends about a total of 10 days in the White House 11/4/20 through 01/20/21.

Somebody needs to tell him the best strategy is to stay on the golf course 11/4/20-1/20/20.
