The Ignoble End of the Trump Presidency

This will likely be my last post for this blog. Not to beat a VERY dead horse, but the disgraceful Trump Administration should be remembered for all time by this article and podcast.

Bonus episode: Inside the craziest meeting of the Trump presidency 

“Four conspiracy theorists marched into the Oval Office. It was early evening on Friday, Dec. 18 — more than a month after the election had been declared for Joe Biden, and four days after the Electoral College met in every state to make it official…

President Trump's private schedule hadn't included appointments for Powell or the others: former national security adviser Michael Flynn, former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne, and a little-known former Trump administration official, Emily Newman. But they'd come to convince Trump that he had the power to take extreme measures to keep fighting…

It was after midnight by the time the White House officials had finally said their piece. They left that night fully prepared for the mad possibility Trump might still name Sidney Powell special counsel. You have our advice, they told the president before walking out. You decide who to listen to.”

The article ends with a link to the definitive podcast post mortem to the Trump Administration:, Trump's Last Stand Part V: Where It Ends, detailing the siege on the Capital on January 6.

“In this episode of How It Happened: Trump's Last Stand, national political correspondent Jonathan Swan tracks the unfolding of the Capitol insurrection on January 6, revealing what happened in the Senate and at the White House — and what it means.”

Well worth listening to this excellent 30-minute podcast.
