Trump Swore He Was ‘Never Leaving’ The White House

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.

Trump, fully dug into his fake narrative about winning the 2020 election, told aides repeatedly in the days after the election that he was planting himself at the White House and absolutely wouldn’t surrender, according to CNN’s excerpt of an upcoming book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

Do you like Morning Memo?

What? No speculations on why a frumpled golf shoe wearing FPOTUS made an unscheduled flight to D.C. last night?

Hey, TPM, if you’re going to run something about FatAss, run about his mad dash from Bedminster to his DC course.

That’s what all the cool kids really want to hear about, not about FatAss wanting to splay his arms and legs to prevent being carried out of the White House.

Sheesh.

We’ve been WaR’ing all night over in the Hive. Medical? Legal? I don’t know, but whatever it is, it is out of FPOTUS’s control.

Brings me back to Middle School. Clinton had just been elected to his first term and my Social Studies teacher used the opportunity to talk about the peaceful transfer of power. He said, “Imagine if George Bush stood in the White House doorway, crossed his arms and refused to leave.”

I had a premonition that something like that would happen in my lifetime.

Yes, I’m dying to know.

George Conway seems to think it’s an arraignment, and, boy, do I hope he’s right!

Trump was reportedly so desperate for a solution after the election that he even asked the guy who brought him his Diet Cokes what to do

This made me laugh.

Yeah, FatAss reminds me of my grandmother who would listen to her cleaning lady about what to do about her bunions, but ignore her doctor…

Trump will take advice from his Diet Coke guy and ignore his lawyers.

Grandma’s cleaning lady was never right…FatAss’s lawyers are all going to jail. And so is he.
