In a subdued, discursive speech on a windy tarmac, Trump made glancing references to his accomplishments in office but seemed bitter at his loss.
“I hope they don’t raise your taxes, but if they do, I told you so,” he said.
Aides had prepared a speech for the President that included references to the incoming administration and more gracious language about a peaceful transition, according to a person familiar with the matter.
But Trump discarded the speech, and teleprompters were removed from the stage before he arrived at Joint Base Andrews.
“What’s all this more gracious shit, fuck that, being more gracious is for pussies, fire the pussies who wrote this.”

Hasn’t he been arrested yet?
Serious question: if arrest warrants are issued for Trump in New York, can they be executed in Florida or do they have to wait for Trump to visit New York State?
NY can seek extradition from FL. Trump can contest the extradition. Then the matter goes to court, which is Trump’s preferred way of stalling/attritting his opponents. But the State of New York isn’t just another stiffed contractor. It will probably go to the mat with him. No idea how Trump will respond to that.
Some individuals are such compulsive liars that one can pretty safely assume that the opposite of whatever they say is the truth, down to and including their views on the weather. If it happens to be raining, an inner hobgoblin demands that they tell all and sundry that it’s a beautiful sunny day.
One such is Donald Trump. Whenever I see him going through his usual paces on the TV, I cannot avoid seeing him as a talking carcass, alive within with maggots.

Yeah, I grew up with one of those. My brother is like that. That’s one reason Trump scared me from the beginning; he is so much like my older brother, I recognized the chaos he could cause.
