WASHINGTON — President Trump has 10 weeks to exact revenge on his political foes, pardon his friends and make life difficult for President-elect Joe Biden, who bested him at the ballot box and turned him into something he hates: a loser.
Now a lame duck, Trump is continuing to push political norms and stoke partisan passions by refusing to concede, repeating the same blatant falsehoods he made after the election — that he had won but Democrats “stole” the race through fraud, neither of which was true.
Trump tweeted his intentions Saturday morning, before arriving at his Virginia golf course, falsely claiming: “I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!”
Among the president’s first moves may be dismissal of several senior administration officials whom Trump had appointed but whom he later deemed insufficiently loyal, or simply unwilling to do his bidding, infuriating the president and his inner circle.

Update: Donald Trump’s Next Move: Revenge Against Joe Biden (National Interest)
WNU Editor: President Trump has just fired Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. No surprises there. And as for the rest. President Trump's opponents are expecting President Trump do what his predecessors did to him before becoming he became President. That President Trump will use the levers of government to disrupt the incoming Biden administration.
I am not sure about that.
I do see President Trump pardoning some people. No surprises there. All Presidents do that. I also expect the transition will proceed. And on inauguration day President-elect Biden will become President, and ex-President Trump will be flying to his home in Florida on the morning of the inauguration (I do not expect him to attend the inauguration).
But there will be a cloud of legitimacy over Biden's Presidency and this is where President Trump can easily make that cloud bigger. Just the actions in Pennsylvania alone where signatures were not required on mail-in ballots and no post-marks has already raised a number of concerns on how this election was handled and/or mishandled. Will President Trump flip over that rock to see what is under it? Will he do the same in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and elsewhere? I think he will try, and if these questions continue to grow with no proper answers, and the Democrats do not properly respond to them. Then in the eyes of the 70 million+ voters who supported President Trump, many of them will not see Biden as a legitimate President.
And then there is Hunter Biden and how his father used his position to enrich his son. That case is just begging for a Special Prosecutor.

Jennifer Rubin and others have said go against not only Trump but all Trump supporters above rank And file voter.

RUSH: If the people running Fox succeed in destroying the distinction that Fox has from the rest of the media, they’re gonna destroy Fox.
Fuck Fox
Watch TV, tweet, golf, and stuff cheeseburgers down his pie hole.
Oh, and get high. High as a kite. Lot's of drugs.
Glib mother fucker spotted at 3 o'clock high.
Golf is relaxation, zen, and business.
Trump is not going to gold just for relaxation. Fuckers like you make sure of that. SDNY and others make sure of that. So after he gets through with a lazy, coddled, no account blue blood like Vance, he'll strike back.
Cyrus. Such a pretentious name for a person living in a Democracy.
Its not over so stop postin main stream media bs posts like this...
Now why would you type something like you did, 3:40?
Tasty aren't they?
Why would they? Because they are feeling their oats. 20 years from now, they probably will not be sick lot they are now.
I can do psychological observational field work form the comfort of my office.
Biden hasn’t won yet he’s the projected president. The media has said he is next president but he is not yet. Trump will win in court
You gotta root for that guy
How about Trump giving Edward Snowden a pardon and immunity in exchange for testimony against Obama administration officials..?
