Trump's final days in office are tailor-made to keep the spotlight on him at the expense of Biden, who is scheduled to take office at noon Wednesday, according to reports. Here’s a thread

Since the attack on the US Capitol, Trump has lost allies and faces a second impeachment trial. But until noon on Wednesday, he retains the vast powers of his office — and seems intent on using them.

🙏 Pardons 🙏
Trump is said to be planning a last-minute spree of pardons, which he can issue unilaterally and would spawn another chaotic news cycle.
https://t.co/q6a9Rt0a2F
The list was drawn up during a Sunday meeting between Trump, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and other aides, and will most likely be made public Monday or Tuesday, @washingtonpost reported.
https://t.co/q6a9Rt0a2F
The list is not expected to include Trump, @cnn said, though the president is said to have considered pardoning himself and his family.

✈️ Skipping Biden’s inauguration ✈️
Trump has said he will not attend Biden's inauguration, which is set to be held under unprecedented security following the Capitol riot.

Instead he plans to fly to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where he is expected to land just ahead of Biden's inauguration ceremony, a photo op likely to drag attention away from Biden in real time.

🎤 2024 candidacy 🎤
Trump was previously thought to be planning an even more audacious Inauguration Day spectacle, having touted the idea of announcing his 2024 candidacy to a rally of supporters.
https://t.co/PD9RgPHl03
That plan seems unlikely now, given his political struggles — if he is convicted in the Senate impeachment trial, Congress could move to bar him from all public office, disqualifying him from running again.

⌚️ The future for Trump ⌚️
Out of office, Trump will have a far smaller megaphone, with his Twitter account still out of his hands and bans on other platforms. https://t.co/HXkd2c1yiV

To those who want to actually help Claudia Conway after her mom (Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s former aide) posted her underage daughter’s nudes to Fleets, fill out a report on the NCMEC CyberTipline.
CPS refused to help her.
#HelpClaudia


Kellyanne Conway has a well-documented history of verbally abusing, gaslighting, and threatening her daughter. It gets worse when highly public things go viral (such as exposing the truth about Trump and Conway catching COVID-19 last October). Kellyanne coerces false statements.

Insider did a thorough chronological background of the history of exposing her parents abuse and control of her here:

We all know that “statement” last year was coerced. She talks constantly about being abused by them.


Personally? I suspect Kellyanne is a narcissist. From my own experience being sexually and emotionally abused by a narcissist, they are obsessed with controlling the narrative (coerced typed statement), discrediting their victim (posting her nudes) & gaslighting

If you haven’t experienced gaslighting or aren’t familiar with it, it’s when someone causing you harm (physical, emotional, sexual, financial, etc) twists the facts and asserts that reality is just you being delusional and you don’t actually understand what happened.
