Donald Trump Is Still a Problem

It's been nearly 3 weeks since election day and 2 weeks since the major news organizations called their projections that Joe Biden won the election. 

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is still a problem. 

Li'l Donnie refuses to concede. 

Li'l Donnie continues to insists he won the election.

Li'l Donnie is still perpetuating allegations of voter fraud.

Li'l Donnie goes WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH! like a petulant baby!

Despite Joe Biden's clear and definitive win in the 2020 election, all the bad feelings that come with enduring Donald Trump in the White House continue. 

Sorry. Li'l Donnie will not allow us to forget our bad feelings.

Donald Trump is fighting against all odds, facts and decency to keep a job he has little interest in doing.  

This weekend was the G20 summit. Due to the pandemic, it's being held virtually. All Trump has to do to attend is flip open a lap top and click on Zoom. 

Trump attended the opening session Saturday morning where he bragged about the United States economy and military. 

When he wasn't talking, Trump wasn't paying attention. He was tweeting during the opening session alleging voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Then he left. 

The following event on the G20 schedule was dedicated to the COVID-19 pandemic. While that session was underway, Trump was off to the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, VA. 

By the way, that G20 pandemic meeting is not the only pandemic thing Trump is ignoring. Trump has not attended a meeting of his own pandemic task force in over 5 months.

Donald Trump isn't doing the job he's fighting to keep. 

And that fight goes on. 

Trump claims, without any evidence, “hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes” have been discovered — “enough to ‘flip’ at least four States” and “more than enough to win the Election.”

This lack of evidence hasn't stopped Trump's ranting on Twitter but it has stopped his lawyers. Judges across the political spectrum have firmly and emphatically rejected every court filing by Trump's lawyers to over turn or throw out votes.

Trump's response to these judges is to file appeals. I guess he hopes he can eventually kick this can to his hand picked conservative majority on the US Supreme Court. 

Trump is also looking to Republican led state legislatures to select electors to the Electoral College who will presumably vote for Trump despite Joe Biden winning the vote in those states. 

Here's the thing. Donald Trump's endgame is to declare a win, even if he has to slink out the White House back door on Inauguration Day in January.  

Trump will continue to keep alive the myth that his re-election was stolen from him, keep alive the anger of his base that agrees with him, force Republican members of Congress to maintain their fealty towards Trump less they offend that base and delegitimize Joe Biden's presidency from day one.  

Trump will do what he's always done. Cast a loss as a win and refuse to accept the consequences of that loss. 

Even as every effort on Trump's behalf meets with failure to overturn the will of the American people, Donald Trump will continue to be a problem. 

Sadly, we will not be done with Donald Trump for a long time.
