Trump will Leave White House One Way or Another

President Trump will leave the White House within 7 days one way or another. Passions run high about his remaining options.

Stacey Abrams refused to concede defeat in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race. She said the election process is “rotten and rigged.” Sound familiar?:

From the Hill, Aug. 19, 2019: WSJ Appeared in the November 12, 2020, print edition as ‘Notable & Quotable.’
The Donald couldn’t have said it better himself. As it happens, Abrams helped set the stage for Trump’s defeat in Georgia.
