To no one's surprise, Trump is going to be the sorest loser in US history. I hope that at some point the people who surround him will see the writing on the wall and step up and stop him from doing even more damage to our institutions but nothing we've seen to date would support that they will do so.

The fact that he was elected once and almost re-elected tells you all you need to know about the frailty of our democracy and the failure of American culture to protect us.

I'm repeating myself: But Trump is unable to think of anything negative happening to him that is legitimate. Like everything bad is illegitimate. It's not in the realm of possibility that he can think otherwise.

So he is incapable of accepting that he's losing. He's incapable of conceding.

I expect his departure from the White House will be ugly. I wouldn't be surprised if we have a "standoff" type situation.

I hope he gets walked by the secret service on inauguration day with a banker's box of his personal possessions.

To be honest, I expect he probably moves to Mar a Lago by next week so he can grift as much money from the treasury as he can between now and January 20th.

The opening anecdote in Jonathan Alter's enthralling biography of Jimmy Carter, His Very Best, describes an eerily prescient White House ceremony in late June 1979. At a time when half the nation's gas stations were running out of fuel and rationing was common, Carter embraced alternative energy by installing 32 solar panels on the roof of the White House. "A generation from now," Carter said, "this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not takenor it can be a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever taken by the American people: harnessing the power of the sun."
