Hunkered Down in Bremerton

Trump after the Election

What is President Biden going to do about Trump after the election? Try to forget him and let the courts handle it or pardon him? President Biden's choice will have huge implications for the future of the country.

If President Biden chooses Door Number One there will be at least four more years of chaos. First off on January 21 Former President Trump will once again become Candidate Trump. He will be able to run again in 2024. He will rage all over the media about how unfairly he was treated, how the election was rigged, and how he was owed more terms as president. He will face prosecution (albeit not quietly) in state and federal courts throughout the land. He may run for president from a jail cell claiming that he is a political prisoner. (talk about martyrdom). He will continue to take center stage.

How about Door Number Two - Pardon Trump. This will create a bigger mess. First off many who voted for President Biden were actually Never Trumpers more so than supporters of the President. The Never Trumpers would go ape shit and every part of choice one will come true except that he won't be tried in federal courts. He can still be prosecuted in state courts especially New York. He can still become Candidate Trump, He can still rage all over the media and the internet.

Well when there are Doors One and Two, there is certainly Door Three. Door Three is Let's Make a Deal. This is the game that Trump thinks he is the master of the world while the rest of the world knows he is a dufus. President Biden can pretend he is Kim Jong Un and Trump can be Trump. Piece of Cake. What does Trump want ... He wants to remain rich, he wants to be respected, and he wants to stay out of jail. What does President Biden want ... he wants Trump to shut the f' up.

President Biden should anger his supporters take it a step further and make a deal with the deal master. This will absolutely be the best course for the United States of America. President Biden can offer several things:

  1. A deferral of prosecution for a federal crimes that my have been committed by himself and his immediate family during his persidency.
  2. A presidential pardon for all federal crimes in November 2024.
  3. An official nomination by the Government of the United States for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2022
  4. A government contract for federal employees staying at Trump properties at a favorable rate to Trump.
  5. Appointment of a fact monitor for Trump announcements.

In return Trump should be required to agree to::

  1. Not use use Twitter or social media.
  2. Not run for election for President.
  3. Refrain from making claims (or retract claims) that are not factual as determined by the fact monitor.

And of course if Trump refuses to deal, President Biden has lots of big sticks that he can and should use:

  1. He should ask the Justice Department to persue federal criminal complaints against Trump and his family immediately and harshly.
  2. He should evoke the passports of Trump and his family.
  3. He should ask Congress to remove Secret Service protection from Trump and his family.
  4. He should embargo government business with the Trump Organization.
  5. He should duspend USA landing rights and certification of Trump's airplanes.
