Why would he do this? The republicans fucked him over, what's the motivation behind this? Simply to win Georgia?

Also how will the dems react?

    I'm gonna miss Trump's pure unpredictability. Sure, Biden is gonna do a few dementia gaffs, but his presidency is gonna be clamped down hard by his neoliberal handlers. We won't get anything nearly as entertaining as Trump accidentally calling out Dems for failing to negotiate a better bill.

    It's probably out of a narcissistic desire to have his name on a fat check for everyone in the country, but still. Call it Stockholm syndrome -- I find him genuinely interesting to watch in a way no other president has been.

    Still deserves the Hague with the rest of them, of course.

        Just wait for whoever the republicans put up next or the VP to appeal to the Trumpian demographic. He brought a lot of people who were not involved in politics into the system. Even if the republicans run a more dignified fascist next time there will always be a Trump for the foreseeable future.

      Remember when he pulled out of Syria because Erdogan asked nicely over the phone

      While Donald Trump didn't do anything fundamentally different than most other U.S. presidents, he just... always failed to couch it in "acceptable" political language and was just so brazen about it. He always said the quiet part loud, and honestly I'm not sure if he didn't know how, he just didn't want to, or was just incapable of it, but Donald Trump and his antics of not bothering with pretexts will always remain funny to me
