Except now, he'll be the president of a diminishing group of loyalists who will acknowledge him as their president-in-exile, awaiting his triumphant return to Washington in 2025. From there, he'll retreat to his alternate-universe 'White House' at Mar-a-Lago, where he'll proceed as if he were still the chief executive. During the event, Trump will inevitably yawp his way through a 'second inaugural address,' laying out his supposed agenda for the next four years.

That will officially launch his shadow presidency, while conveniently distracting at least some viewers from paying attention to the actual inauguration of President Joe Biden at the U.S. It's entirely possible, if not inevitable, that Trump will hold his own swearing-in ceremony on Inauguration Day, probably in the context of another super-spreader rally. He's already spent most of November and December insisting that he's the actual winner of the election, 'by a lot.' Now he has so-called electors to backstop his claim. This elector scam augments the framework for it. It doesn't work that way, obviously, but it further enables what I believe is Trump's longer-term plan.ДЇor some time now, I've been predicting on my podcast and elsewhere that Trump is setting up a shadow presidency and real-life fifth column. The Red Hats have gotten desperate enough to fool themselves for another couple of weeks, into halfway believing their slates of fake electors will hand Trump the real presidency. Meanwhile, the actual Texas electors even voted 34-4 to support these sham electors. In Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia, rosters of phony-baloney GOP electors cast their ballots for Trump. Sure enough, to this point Republicans are following through with this charade. In other words, Miller apparently believes these 'alternate' cosplay Trump electors will allow congressional Republicans to take one last stab at certifying the fake Trump electoral vote over the votes of the actual electors. 'And we'll make sure that those results are sent up side by side to Congress.' 'You have an alternate slate of electors in a state like, say, Wisconsin or in a state like Georgia,' the lifeless-eyed outgoing White House adviser began. Miller explained that Republican legislators in the major swing states will send alternate electors to Congress - electors who, unlike the actual electors, have cast their ballots for Trump in defiance of the popular-vote outcome. This, Miller seemed to suggest, is irrelevant. On Monday morning's edition of 'Fox & Friends,' Donald Trump's personal Wormtongue, white supremacist Stephen Miller, announced Trump's latest and most ludicrous attempt to remain president despite the incontrovertible results of the election.ДЄlso on Monday, the Electoral College officially affirmed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the winners of the election, 306-232.
