Of course he had to leave. Seems like our disagreement is in our definition of stealing the spotlight. I don't see his good-bye rally and 21 gun salute as out of the normal. I never heard of it before, but never paid attention to what an outgoing president does either. When I got up at 7 AM (9 eastern) the coverage was already on Biden and the inauguration. Watched for about 40 minutes and never heard 1 thing about Trump. Watched for about an hour during my plan period at work, not 1 word about Trump. That does not fit my standards of stealing the spotlight. Perhaps you have different standards for that.The Juggler said:
He had no choice but to leave. You make it seem like him leaving was Trump doing something on his own. He literally had no choice unless he planned on sleeping in the street.mace1229 said:
I never said he is going out gracefully. My comment was in response to Trump trying to take the spotlight today. I don't see how he is trying to take the spotlight, he's getting on a plane and leaving before he was even out of office. But that has nothing to do with going out gracefully. I would agree that he did not.PJ_Soul said:
He left the way he did because his insurrection attempt failed and he was forced to back down. I don't get why you're acting like Trump chose to go out gracefully, when he had the intention of dong anything but, and most certainly did not, and the attack on the Capitol is the main demonstration of that. By this morning the idiot literally had none of his desired options left, so he slunk out quietly, with every intention of continuing to poison America's democracy any way he can going forward. But hopefully he will be too busy losing all his money to do that.mace1229 said:For years many on here said Trump would never leave willingly, that he'd be physically dragged out. That isn't happening. I just don't know what is laughable. If he was making today about him he'd be staging a rally at the white house during the inauguration until he was forced to leave. Then he'd stage protests around the white house or capitol during the inauguration and celebrations that go with it. None of that his happening. He left this morning without issues. I don't see how that is making today about him? But to some comparing a good bye rally in the morning and leaving the office and traveling out of state hours before required to as not making a scene is laughable I guess.
So he became the first president in 160 some years to not go to the inauguration, creating an awkward spotlight on himself. He had to leave today. So before he left he held a rally in his honor. He had cannons go off in his honor. He had all the same music playing that are usuallty played at his political rallies. He got up there and repeated much of the same kinds of lies he always says. He never mentioned his successor's name. He never mentioned that he lost. He mentioned that he will be back "in some form." Then he had air force one take off in perfect unison to Frank Sinatra's "My Way" as if its the final scene of a ridiculous reality show.
All of the above, mind you, delayed the Bidens leaving for mass by over twenty minutes. Their day was help by Trump's ridiculous going away party.
I ask you, short of refusing to leave the White House, which was never realistic, what more could he have done to make this morning about himself, considering just two weeks ago he failed to overthrow the incoming administration with a violent invasion of the capitol.
That says nothing about Trumps character or intentions or motivations. Just the facts for today and who the spotlight was on.
Honest question: why not take the time to research whether or not it's normal before getting into a back & forth about it?
Were you really unaware until now, that it has been the norm for outgoing presidents to attend the inauguration for the incoming president?0 -
This dude, come on. This dude admits whatever Trump did was over by 7 Am, and still says he was trying to steal attention of the inauguration. This guy, come on, am i right?The Juggler said:

Guy admits he doesn't know what usually happens, yet tells others, who know what usually happens, that they are wrong.
Then he admits that he woke up AFTER the Trump rally and was confused at why people thought Trump was trying to steal the spot light. Dude....it was OVER by then!
I gotta stop responding to this nonsense.

Definitely not seeking attention with this directive. Why not just hire some of the insurrection militia to protect your family? They all love you.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-extended-secret-service-protection-for-13-members-of-his-family-as-he-left-office/2021/01/20/31ef3e9e-5b3c-11eb-b8bd-ee36b1cd18bf_story.html
Just saw this at the bottom of that story:
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said Donald Trump Jr. has four children. In fact, he has five. The story has been updated to clarify the total number of family members who will receive protection.
HAHAHAHA! You know it was Tiffany who they forgot about.Post edited by tbergs onIt's a hopeless situation...0 -
Ok. You're the one that said Trump packed up and left hours before the inauguration and not a word since, but somehow still stole the spotlight for the day. Its the Juggler everyone, he must be right.The Juggler said:

Umm....HE HAD NO CHOICE but to pack up and leave. What are you even talking about? And he's banned from all social media so that explains not hearing from him this afternoon.mace1229 said:

I'm fine with different perspectives. But he admitted he doesn't know what normally happens and that he actually slept through it. Yet he's going back and forth with people who actually watched it happen and actually know how abnormal it actually was.HughFreakingDillon said:

Here’s his letter.

The youtube channel I watched it on went in depth to explain what "usually" happens with the exiting and entering president. It was sure as hell different from what I remember from 4 years ago, lol. No exiting president, no final walk to chopper 1, no luncheon.The Juggler said:

Yeah there is a whole pageantry of things that usually happens to show the world that we know how to transfer power peacefully and smoothly. Trump said "fuck you" to all of that.tempo_n_groove said:

Yeah I am interested in the letter as well. I doubt we'll see it any time soon though.www.myspace.com0 -
I wish this was true, but that would require everyone who has hung on every word he has said the last 4+ years (both for and against) to move on. This thread is a perfect example of why I do not see this happening anytime soon.gimmesometruth27 said:i don't care how he left. he just needed to get the fuck out of dc and get the fuck out of office so joe and kamala could go about the business they were voted there to do.
trump is a man the world will soon forget.
