Inauguration Day in the US is on January 20th, 2021. By the end of that day, Donald Trump will no longer be President of the United States. The purpose of this thread is to watch as he continues to flail against this reality and, perhaps, slowly come to terms with his defeat. Post here about how this reality becoming yet more inevitable than it already is and how the soon-to-be former President reacts. I thought it might be fun to frame this in terms of the Kübler-Ross model, aka the Five Stages of Grief. Rather than paraphrase, here's what the wiki says on the topic: quote:Kübler-Ross originally developed stages to describe the process patients with terminal illness go through as they come to terms with their own deaths; it was later applied to grieving friends and family as well, who seemed to undergo a similar process.[9] The stages, popularly known by the acronym DABDA, include:[10] So, where is Trump at the time of this OP? I think he's still in denial: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1331214247955738624 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1331624798372438018 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1331655154492448770

I think he is probably going to sulk for the next couple years. I remember making a post in USPOL about my sulking projection (as opposed to The Atlantic's fearmongering "off the walls competent GOP suddenly"). His sulking is funny because he's a loser who sucks, op.

Yeah, he may at some point progress beyond Denial, but he will never, ever, ever reach Acceptance. We've seen that his mind simply cannot work that way.

An eternal "Depression" stage is also acceptable.

Inevitable things become more inevitable when allies break away from the narrative of denial. For example, CNN reported that in the days after the election members of the Trump clan urged Donald to concede. Among Trump's allies in the press are OANN and Newsmax. Newsmax today called Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Nevada for Biden: https://twitter.com/newsmax/status/1331369072056012808

Slow news day, only three tweets. More denial: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1331987171700510720 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1332062259078721538 But there are some small bits of anger (this has been on-and-off for a while now): https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1331219312112250890

I don't think Trump will ever make it past the first stage, because that would imply some modicum of personal growth.

Not much has changed, more tweets more noise. If I see any that aren't clear denial I'll post them. In the meantime, Trump decided to make another denial speech: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1334240039639937026

Eight years from now he'll be telling people "I was elected and never got to serve so practically speaking I'm still owed a term."

He did talk about the "Biden administration" today so he has actually managed to reach acceptance. But only acceptance that he will not be president after January 20th. He has not accepted that he lost, and never will.
