Trump fatigue has set: Post-election disruption plans suggests the pressure is getting to MAGA
Donald Trump can be defeated.
He was in 2020, although he’ll never admit it. He was defeated by E. Jean Carroll in court when a New York jury in a civil case found him liable for sexual abuse. He was defeated in a Manhattan criminal court earlier this year and found guilty of 34 felony counts. And I defeated him in federal court three times when his administration tried to take away my White House press pass.
Donald Trump is a stone cold loser.
He knows it, and his minions know it. So they are, like they did four years ago, trying to manipulate the political machinery in the United States in the very likely event he loses again. These machinations include but are not limited to, trying to steal, suppress, discount, and refuse votes, as well as potentially encouraging armed resistance to congressional certification of the election.
January 6, 2021, in many ways, is just past prologue. With Trump, there remains the threat of violence. Fortunately, the country is run by Joe Biden this time. The Chief of the Capitol Police, Tom Manger, is a veteran who knows how to handle riots. A repeat of the seditious activities of Jan. 6, at least, does not appear in the offing, no matter how much Trump would like it to be so.
Other than a private plane trip to Russia or Venezuela, after another election loss, Donald Trump knows he’s basically, as Martha and the Vandellas sang, left with; “nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide.”

On MSNBC on Wednesday, Cohen admitted he’s also considering leaving the country should Trump win. “I’m working on a foreign passport with a different name,” he told host Nicole Wallace and recommended she and other journalists (including myself) who are on “the list” do the same. “How many people has........
