Trump commits to leaving White House when EC elects Biden but not attend inauguration

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Also calls it "a very hard thing to concede": https://news.yahoo.com/trump-says-very-hard-thing-231300167.html

It's only for you that hard a thing to do, snowflake.

Anyone else find it pathetic that the so called leader of the free world is having public therapy sessions about his loss, which occurred almost a month ago? 

Wasn't his whole 2016 campaign about "F*** your feelings"?

His entire life is 100% projection.

Trump appears to be following in the footsteps of the two John Adamses, father and son. In 1801 and 1829, the two Adamses slipped quietly out of Washington D.C. on Inauguration Day while their successors Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were sworn in. Trump will probably slip quietly out of the city, and head back to Mar-A-Lago, while Biden is being sworn in.

Trump going out sad, what a loser. Being an elderly crybaby is worse than pathetic.

I'm slightly disappointed that he isn't planning to chain himself to a White House radiator and be dragged out by Secret Service. I was looking forward to that. Still, picturing a crestfallen Trump leaving the White House like this is also going to be fun:

I hope the door hits your ass on the way out, mother-f***er!

so will he resign or just leave the WH but still remain Pres?

Hillary felt the same way about conceding to you Trump, and she did itand attended the inauguration. That's why mostly D's and Indies didn't even watch your inauguration, it had the lowest viewership than any inauguration

What a cuck.

[jimrtex]

Will there actually be an inauguration?

President and VP and spouses, C.J. Roberts, a signer, and a cameraman is seven.

December 15th: "What do you mean? I never said that."

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Rs still are in shock therapy that they are 0/3 against Obama/Biden but 3/0 against Gore/Kerry/Hillary and they beat her in 2016/ not 2008 version

No matter if it's Biden/Harris, the Rs have struggled to beat anyone other than Gore/Kerry or Hillary,, they lost to Bill CLINTON twice. All three elections against Gore/Kerry and Hillary were very close too

[Hope For A New Era]

See, there it is. The Stacey Abrams "well yes, but actually no" concession.

If you watch the video, trump demands respect from a reporter by saying "you're just a light weight" and "don't ever talk to the President that way."
The reporter was just asking a question, and trump refused to answer it directly.
His ego is so huge, the snowflake gets offended easily.

Trump seems determined to go down in history as the greatest sore loser in the history of U.S. presidential elections.

Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words.

Trump is such an ignorant bigoted POS that he doesn't even know he should be ranting against the Dutch in W. Michigan and the Pennsylvania Dutch in Chester and Lancaster rather than about Detroit and Philly.

First, further proof that Republicans are the real triggered snowflakes. Second, you can't prove something didn't happen (and I suspect Trump knows this.)

Third, if we were a function country and not the failed state that we are, Trump would immediately be stripped of his power for the mere suggestion that his opponent should have to answer to him and "prove" his victory.

This is part of the reason why most countries have nowhere near as long of a lame duck session and swear in the winner as soon as the results are certified. For example the 2017 French Presidential election second round took place on May 7, 2017, and Macron was sworn in May 14, 2017.

In some third world countries under a Parliamentary system there's even a tradition for the government to temporarily step down for an election and let a caretaker government manage things during the election season and transition period. Not really an option under the US's system but notable other countries have preparations for this and the US doesn't. Granted this is the first time it's happened since say John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

This is the closest we will get to a concession. Lets just accept it

I'm still wondering if he will go to the inauguration.
And one other thing I was curious about (question to everyone) ...

Is it not customary for the outgoing first family to greet the incoming first family in front of some steps leading to the White House? I think they do this after the inauguration. Yes ... No? I'm not sure.
