I don't think Trump is going away. I do think his real estate holdings are seriously damaged goods, and he will either have to do something audacious or just go quietly retire, and I don't see retirement as an option for him.

I believe the election was stolen. One could argue Trump was outplayed, but the dumping of $400 Million in Zuckerberg Dollars into selected locations as though they were "helping out with public works projects" seems borderline to me. But when you start looking at details -- where mail-in ballots were used when they KNEW they wren't secure, and then the piling on of not having proper partisan observation -- that really isn't a coincidence. That was planned, in an effort to take advantage of the fact that from the time the envelope is opened until the ballot is dumped in with the rest, perhaps measured in tenths of a second, is the ONLY opportunity to challenge the authenticity of the ballot. You open the envelop, both partisans MUST AGREE that the ballot is valid, then you forever dump the ability to challenge that ballot. And Republican partisans weren't in the room. It doesn't matter whether a Democrat partisan is in the room since they're not the ones doing the challenging. It is wrong. And I hate to whine about it, but those votes should have been thrown out, but they weren't because they had no idea which to throw out. So, you just ASSUME they're fair ballots? There are tens of major points which should have been, in the aggregate, enough to disqualify the entire election in four cities. I think it was downright election theft, planned and well-executed.
