Donald Trump isn’t running for the White House, he’s running from a prison cell.

Already showing up blatant disregard of the law. No one is surprised. Also, it seemed to indicate that the campaign probably doesn’t believe they are going to win this thing.

Trump has been president since 2016. He didn’t lose the 2020 election. Why would he need a transition team? /s

***From Rolling Stone’s Nikki McCann Ramirez:***
*The former president may be looking to skirt financial and ethics guidelines should he win in November.*
American presidents are inaugurated in January, but the process of coordinating the change of the guard between an outgoing and incoming administration begins weeks before Americans cast their ballots in November. Nothing about this election cycle has been normal, but Donald Trump is breaking with yet another campaign expectation by refusing to participate in presidential transition preparations.
According to a Wednesday report from The New York Times, the former president has missed two major deadlines and failed to sign three documents necessary for the transition — two of which are required by federal law.
Trump remains insistent that he will reclaim the White House in November, and exact vengeance on those he believes stole a second administration from him in 2020. So why is he skirting the presidential transition process? It’s likely because signing the required documents would bind him to financial and ethical guidelines that he would rather avoid.
But looking forward to seeing those “bigly” Dept of Criminal Justice transition plans to federal prison!😉

Our democracy can no longer rely on everyone being a good-faith actor. Those legal agreements need to be signed as part of the pre-requisite to be a candidate (and we need to have a justice system actually capable of holding rich/powerful people accountable). I would also like a unicorn.

The Man has no plan to actually be president
He has a concept of a plan
He’s had so many the emporer has no clothes moments

It won’t probably matter anyways, he’s on his way to losing another election.

Trump has insulted half the US, if not more. Trump has gotten chummy with dictators. Trump has accepted gifts and violate the Hatch Act. Trump removed Top Secret files from the White House when he was no longer the president, and showed them off to impress others. Trump is liable for sexual assault. Trump is a convicted felon for covering up a hush money payment to a pornstar. Trump has sat down for dinner with White Nationalists. Trump lied to voters and encouraged an insurrection.
**BUT HOW ABOUT WE WORRY TRUMP ISN’T MEETING TRANSITIONAL DEADLINES**.
Get your priorities straight Rolling Stone.

No one on his team including him should get any briefings, etc until after election

He knows he’s going to lose. He is only focusing on how he can disrupt the election. Remember who this man is. Nothing good is going to come out of him in the next few months or, ever.

He’s going to lose and he knows it.

They’re acting like they know he’s going to lose or winning in the courts is a foregone conclusion.

I suspect their internal polling doesn’t look good for the Donvict. But then again, I am probably giving my fellow Americans too much credit.

Then disqualify the loser and send him packing. Like, *wow*, what has happened to ‘federal law’ requirements regarding this fuɔʞing guy.

Is a law really a law if it is not enforced?

Incase anyone was wondering, this happened in 2016 too.
The 5th Risk by Michael Lewis is such an interesting and terrifying read.
Edit: Things that happen when you don’t give a shit about these meetings (or actually running the country and solving problems in society) is trying to cut the funding at the DOE’s Hanford site in WA because you don’t know what it is. Why does that need funding? Because we are literally actively preventing nuclear waste from turning the Columbia River radioactive.

I don’t think he plans on winning, yet again.

He knows he’ll lose and doesn’t want to spend the money.

Again? He did this last time too. I’m starting to think he’s a very unserious person.

Trump’s strategy isn’t to win anymore – his strategy is to lose and blame it on rigging, in hopes to completely destroy America in a Civil War. That is his strategy.

Saying it because I don’t see it often. Screw the McMahons! Linda is the head of Trump’s transition team.

They’re breaking the law. What they’re (not) doing is illegal because it creates a RISK to our country. Again. Still. Yada. Yada.
