Donald Trump says he will leave White House if electoral college votes for Joe Biden

Well, here it is, folks. This seems to be a concrete statement that suggests one of two things :
A) Trump is confident he will have the needed electoral votes by mid December
Or
B) Trump will at that time concede and will not pursue options involving prolonged court cases, Congress, the Supreme Court, etc.

Speaking to reporters on the Thanksgiving holiday, Trump said if Biden – who is due to be sworn in on 20 January – was certified the election winner by the electoral college, he would depart the White House.

I think this is a significant statement because for the first time we have a solid sense of where and when this will end.

Many people were unsure how far he could and would be willing to go to push his claims. Not all of them are "hysterical idiots," although of course there are plenty of those to go around in all categories these days it seems.

7th paragraph down to get at the actual quote.

Asked if he would leave the White House if the college vote went against him, Trump said: “Certainly I will. And you know that. If they do, they made a mistake,” he said.

Just such trash journalism.

It does suggest he will leave at that point even if he thinks there was fraud.

Makes sense to me!

He clearly means 'leave the White House'. Which means he is saying that he would go out and do a victory rally and then come back to the White House.

right?

or an I missing something? I mean, I think I speak Trump and this is what I interpret:

I mean, yeah. Yes. Sure. I'd leave the White House. I'd probably leave, you know, I'll tell you this much that's true, sure, I'd leave the White House, I mean we'll be doing a lot of victory rallys like you've never seen before. Maybe we'll do a little wall. But then we'll come back home to the White House. But sure, I mean, I can leave the White House, ok? I'm free to come and go. I've already had Covid and I don't know, some think I could never get it again.

Neither A OR B... This IS going to the the Supreme Court where it will likely be sent to the House. THAT is Trump's endgame. Only other option is the SC invalidates the election. Either one keeps the crazies out of the WH which is what the SC are going to do...

One point somebody close to the president made (it might have been Kushner) is that Trump still thinks of deals very much in real estate terms. I guess in the real estate world, you can say this, you can say that, you can toss around plans and ideas like it's brainstorming, and you can even do 180-degree turnarounds right up to the moment you sign on the dotted line.. Until you have signed off officially, in other words, nothing is off the table. It is a helpful way to understand Trump's frequent reversals -- he doesn't see them as reversals because all is speculative until the ballpoint hits the paper.

Where did he or anyone say this?

Most of us have the timeframe. On the 20th of January, the guy that won will carry the torch. I think that will be Trump. I've never lost hope that he won.

The MSM can say whatever they want. The socialist media can censor whomever they wish.

None of that matters.

Our numbers are strong. We just have to convince enough that it's open season on leftist trash.

Win or lose, they've earned our unrelenting hatred. I can't wait to personally screw over every leftist piece of crap I personally encounter.

It's going to be a glorious transition into a new world.

They believe they have safety in numbers, but they are concentrated in small encampments throughout. They concentrated themselves..... Lol.

We just choke off their cities, offer safe passage to like minded metropolitan folk, and starve the cities one by one into submission. We grow their food ffs.

Taking out the left will be like suffocating an invalid with a pillow. We don't even have to shoot

Typical Trumper rant. "Open season on leftist trash?" You sound like you'd like to get all violent on folks that don't agree with your political philosophy. Sorry to say bud, but you don't scare anyone. You sound like you're feeling like a bit of a loser right now and no one's listening?
