What does Trump do as a lame duck? (1 Viewer)

Seen this question posed many times in various threads but I'm very curious as to what could potentially happen between now and 1/20...

 
He will either refuse to work at all with the Biden team to transition or give them outright false information.  

 
 It will be like a retreating general burning everything behind him to just leave embers — as little as possible for his enemy — and setting the stage for the next battle. I really don’t want to think about having to go through again in another 4 years, but my crystal ball says either Trump goes for a rematch or Donald Jr. runs then.

Greg Gutfeld on The Five today was basically saying that there will be two Presidents for the next 4 years......and then Trump will run again in 2024.  

 
The [Biden] transition team should just tell them to hang out for 11 weeks. We're good, thanks. Lot of people still around from four years ago, everything will be fine.

I was thinking this as well, full fledged scorched earth is what I'm picturing.

 
There will be pardons.

There will be comments about how Americans don't want him to leave and that if he chose not to leave....they'd support him.  

There will be ALOT of complaining and conspiracy theories about the election.

There won't be a stimulus.  

 
LOL it happened 
But what he asked you was, "What else exactly did he spy on and what did he do with all that information once out of office?"

If you think it happened... that's fine with me. To what end? And what would Trump do with similar information on Biden?

 
He will probably hurt some people’s feelings and generally do nothing.

I know everyone will pretend he is gonna burn the place down, but that won’t happen and everyone knows it.

Maybe shop for real estate in Russia, unless you believe he's actually broke due to all the outstanding debt. If that's the case shopping for real estate in Moldova. You can afford quite a fixer-upper there..... especially if you don't plan on ever actually paying the hard working contractors doing the fixing up.

Depends. I think when people say he'll burn the place down it means he'll fire everyone he has the power to fire. He has the power to fire a lot of people and make things an even bigger mess on the way out if he is on the way out.

Right, I didn’t mean literally burn it down.

He isn’t going to make it difficult to transition just to make it difficult. People might stretch to make it sound like he is throwing a temper tantrum....but I don’t think he will. He is a lot of bark

 
Announce he’s running again, start campaigning/collecting money. Whether of not he runs is moot; he can still collect money for a campaign, and lots of people would start handing him money.

Probably gonna need the cash flow to replace stuff like the $17K a month they bill the Secret Service for a NJ rental cottage (rarely used & multiples of FMV rent.)

 
Prior to Trump, it was common for the incoming President's folks to come in, work with the outgoing teams, get briefed, etc. Trump's incoming teams chose not to take advantage of that knowledge, for the most part.

I don't think there's any doubt he will instruct his staff not to allow Biden's transition team in and do not work with them on any transition.

Assuming Biden wins.

I can't believe we forgot the obvious thing he'd do as a lame duck: limp around and quack.

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week!

 
There’s a lot of joking around but this is a serious question with a very clear, serious answer: President Trump and Congress need to get a stimulus package done. This can’t wait until January. We’ve wasted too much time already.
