Why you should ignore Trump and wear a mask in public:

sattoram I love it when Steve Schmidt slays. Matt Gaetz is among the worst toadies in history. “You invited a Holocaust Denier to the State of the Union. You are a conspiracy theorist and a lackey for the most inept, incompetent and illiterate President in American History. In an utterly rancid political moment you have established yourself as a buffoon without peer. Your drunk driving incident, dozen speeding tickets and gas mask stunt at the beginning of the pandemic mark you as an entitled, reckless and spoiled punk. Your conduct disgraces the United States Congress. One thing is certainly true about democracy, the crazy and the Stupid deserve representation also, and with you they have a perfect one. Trump is falling apart in every way. He is physically decrepit and slovenly. He can barely walk. He is mentally and morally weak and failing at a profound level. He will be repudiated by the American People and by History’s harsh judgement as will you. When you are an old man looking back on it all you can be satisfied that you were the political version of Meatloaf or Gary Busey on the Apprentice, a figure of ridicule, a clown in Trump’s circus. The economy is shattered, America is divided and 120,000 are dead from a badly managed pandemic. Trump is going down. All you will have left is the stench. It won’t go away. Ever.” [ And now we learn Gaetz has a teenage Cuban born "son" ie boy friend living with him. '

If Trump loses, I could see the following scenario playing out: 1) He plans a trip to Russia on the pretense of patching up our relations with them. Putin will be breathing fire anyway (he sort of indirectly threatened war prior to the 2016 elections - told expats to come home)

2) A defeated Trump would realize that his legal immunity as President would end on January 20th, 2020. And we’ll probably by then know even more about his behavior in office than we know now. Russia has, or course, no extradition treaty with the US.

3) Trump goes on an official trip to Russia sometime before January 20th. Which would be his right to do. He’s still the President. Nobody can stop him. Nobody can charge him. 4) He makes some excuse about the election being rigged, unfair, etc. And just stays there.

From Trump’s point of view, if he can’t have immunity from prosecution, being outside the reach or the US legal system would be the next best thing. Plus, he’s well liked there (he loves being near people who like him).

[ Or so he thinks. Russians actually despise him, but he doesn't speak Russian and doesn't know. ]

From Putin’s point of view, this would be the ultimate coup for the ultimate spymaster. A big giant middle finger for all the ages to the United States with a little wink wink nod nod “you’ve been had! Signed, Vlad” It’s the kind of thing that would cement his lore forever.

And, even though it would be utterly humiliating to the US, at least we would be spared the drama of a former President being potentially prosecuted or needing to be dragged out of the White House. I know this is a stretch. But if Trump loses, I think this is possible.

On the downside, Trump offers very, very little intelligence value.

[ And in Russia, he could still claim the election was stolen from him by fraud and claim he's the REAL President living in exile after a "coup.". And it would be in Putin's interest to pretend to believe that. He can still be used by Putin to sow division in the US. ]
