A Trump concession? Don’t expect to see one, unless it’s a hot dog cart on Fifth Ave.
The soon-to-be-former commander-in-chief is showing no grace, saying “I won this election by a lot,” in tweets flagged by Twitter for accuracy. His lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, one-time American hero, now disgraced star of the new Borat movie, talks about election theft.
Nina Tolson, vice dean for faculty and academic affairs at the USC Gould School of Law took a dim view of Trump and his loyalists’ efforts to question the election results.
“There’s actually a formal name for this legal strategy, it’s ‘let’s file these lawsuits and see what happens,’”Tolson said Monday on CNN. “I think courts are pretty good at figuring out when litigants have done that.”
Tolson dismissed it all as lawsuits that go nowhere, with demands for recounts that have no impact on the election results.
While Trump may not have a legal strategy, he does seem to have an exit strategy–to throw one massive tantrum, “the likes of which we’ve never seen before.”
As the week began, Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper by tweet, showing the president is intent on being as disruptive and as vengeful during the time leading up to someone else’s inaugural.
