    Funny that the same people who are worried about Trump seem wholly unconcerned about Swallwell sleeping with the enemy., Or for that matter the family Biden having been gifted millions by the PRC.

    He's going to face jail anyway. Joe won't forgive him. So he has to flee to his best friend Putin as Snowden did. And he'll take all the important files with him. The cyberattack by the Russkies was unnecessary,

    Before that, it'll be funny anyway because Donald won't leave the White House willingly.

    Never and never enough. The Trump was the worse president we have e we had. A horribly corrupt and ignorant person of poor character.

    The inability to tap into Trump's insight does not seem a particularly severe loss.

    Do I worry he would sell national security info? No. Am I confident he will keep national security info secret given a choice between compromising national security and advantaging himself in some way? No.

    I sincerely hope that Trump declassifies everything and gives it to every conservative news outlet in the US and exposes every Democrat crime since 2008. The Democrat party has acted like the Mafia since the first day of the Obama administration. Numerous crimes were committed against America and Americans and even the known perpetrators were given a pass. Every single Democrat scandal no matter the evidence was quickly disappeared by the MSM. There's no telling how many people were paid off, threatened, had legs broken or a fatal "accident" to protect the Obamas and the Clintons. This thug governance screeched to a halt when Trump was elected and the Democrats lost their minds. They engaged in a four year campaign to oust Trump that culminated in the fraudulent election of Joe Biden, a feckless career criminal who presently is up to his eyeballs in yet another scandal. I think America has had enough and we deserve better than this pile of excrement.

    It's not about what he has access to NOW, but what kind of information he would be privy to if Biden (or future POTUSes) called on him in an advisory role. I cannot imagine him making himself availability to help Biden because he feels he is not the right President, but it could happen.

    I asked this question months ago because I was wondering what would happen if he lost the election. Many respondents said that there is no way he would physically refuse to the leave the WH. I was honestly hoping that he would go peacefully if he lost but didn't imagine he would act the way he's acting now. I hope he doesn't embarrass himself and the country with the changing of the guard but we won't know until Jan. 20th.

    It's sad to see you entertain such fantasies.

    Are you kidding? Nobody would ask Trump for advice. Idiot Trump has no clue. He can only lie and play golf. He just loves power, money, and himself. He doesn't give a **** about America and the people living there!

    This is Donald Trump as he always was:

    Would these same "experts" trust an America-hating saboteur like Barack Obama, but withhold the confidence to trust Donald Trump...?

    If there were evidence of the conspiracy nonsense you refer to, there is no doubt that Trump would have gotten it out there, instead of the silly assertions he did make that were debunked when facts became known.

    It is unlikely that Trump has the necessary detail on our nations secrets to really be much of a threat. Not because, as democrats claim that he is stupid, it is just that he would not likely have been exposed to them. He might have a general knowledge of some highly classified information, but there would have little need for him to know the details. For example, he might have a general knowledge that we are working on some kind of hypersonic aircraft engine, but it is not likely that he would know enough of the details to be of much value to the enemy.

    It will never be allowed to wane with Biden in office. It will be required as a distraction from his dementia and his dishonest dealings with China.

    Well, we wouldn't be having this conversation about an outgoing Hilla - mostly because everyone knows she's so soused up she wouldn't even remember her own name or address, much less nuclear launch codes.

    Like him or not. You have to admit he has a way of "working the crowd". Maybe the POTUS-elect won't ask him for advice, but there are probably hundreds of thousands of people that would seek his advice in a heartbeat.

    Similarly, psychic hotlines do a good business.

    I suppose because Obama has a well earned reputation for being informed and engaged in national security matters when he was prez. Whereas we know Trump did not read and barely paid attention to national security briefings while possessing a well earned reputation for a dubious level of patriotism.

    I do agree that we have never had a POTUS with Trump's behavior or anything like it. It did launch a smoke screen over his accomplishments. Sad that most people couldn't see past it.

    Let's just go ahead and replace the use of "experts" with media script readers and other writers, Marxist/grievance academics, government contractors, government grantees, career bureaucrats, actors/celebrities, foreign agents and paid shills, government dependents, and lobbying/PR flacks, because that's -exactly- what they are, not "experts" within any rational, honest use of the world.

    Suggest "parasites" replace any mention of "experts" one happens to read. Real experts state exactly what they are expert in and a specific set of skills. For the most part, "experts" is a rotten ad copy Newspeak horseshit contrivance.

    Well, maybe they are "experts" in lying and milking/gaming the system, there's that.
