Exiting the White House

President Donald Trump says he’ll leave White House if Biden declared winner of Electoral College. “Certainly I will. And you know that,” said Trump when asked if he would leave the White House if the Electoral College voted for Biden.

Trump claims the voting structure in the United States is “like a third world country.”  There has never been another candidate for president in the history of this country that made that claim.  The United States has always prided itself in the honesty of the elections.  Trump has offered no verifiable proof of  fraud.

Then comes the issue of Trump physically refusing to leave the White House.  This is what Newsweek posted on November 6, 2020. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to this.

“As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election,” Biden’s team said in a statement on November 6. “And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.”

The 20th Amendment has it that Trump, or any other lame-duck leader, loses his presidential mandate January 20 at noon, and, if he tries to stick around after that, the very guard once tasked with protecting the nation’s top officeholder now has to evict him.

“The Secret Service would escort him off, they would treat him like any old man who’d wandered on the property,” one former official involved in the transition process between former President Barack Obama and Trump told Newsweek.
