Yes. Wasn’t it Donald Jr. who spoke of how glum their election “victory” celebration was? Melania had tears, “and they weren’t tears of joy.” Trump never wanted to win. That’s the mind-boggling irony of this catastrophe. He hoped to come close of course and not be known as the buffoon that went down in a landslide. But he didn’t think the nightmare scenario had a chance of coming true.
He and his family are trying to make the most of it, of course, scarfing up a few extra millions. (He even has WH staff pimping Ivanka’s apparel lines. :smack: ) Unfortunately, he will want to win re-election. He doesn’t want to spend his final years as a disgraced laughing-stock without the ability to pardon.
