President Donald Trump is a firm believer that he lost the 2020 election under fraudulent circumstances and is attempting to convince the nation that there was enough widespread voter fraud to overturn the results.
In fact, the President has even called on the Department of Justice to help investigate these claims, although there is no definitive evidence to support the theory.
Now Trump appears to be resisting the transition to a Biden presidency, not only by refusing to sign off on the paperwork that would allow Biden to get to move into the White House but by also appointing several allies to positions within the Pentagon – something that has Democrats growing concerned.
But one former pal of Donald Trump believes that it’s all for show and that the President will sneak off to Mar-a-Lago as Joe Biden is inaugurated.
Former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen predicted that the president will quit the White House early in a fit of pique over his loss and hide out at his Florida home, Mar-A-Lago, instead of attending the inauguration of President-Elect Joe Biden.
“Everyone needs to take a chill pill,” Cohen warned. “Donald Trump talks a lot of nonsense. The Birtherism. ‘I have my investigators there in Hawaii. Look what we found out.’ It’s all a lie, 99.9% of everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. He’s not going to stay in the White House past January 20th. They will remove him. He knows that.”
“After Christmas, he usually comes back January 5th, January 6th. He likes to go to Mar-A-Lago,” Cohen noted. “I suspect he doesn’t even come back to Washington. I don’t believe he’s going to go to the inauguration because he himself fundamentally cannot sit in a chair knowing that the cameras are on him and that the world is looking at him as a loser. He cannot do that.”
Cohen hopes that Trump would be gracious about the transition of power, but admitted that he wasn’t counting on that as a possibility.
