Politico: Trump starts to articulate a painful reality: He could lose in 2020

Just weeks from Election Day, President Donald Trump is saying the quiet part out loud about his own campaign. The president is crisscrossing the country with a packed schedule, flying to some states he won handily in 2016, to deliver a final pitch for a second term — and making no secret of his own shaky standing.


But as CNN points out: If the President loses the election, he would be vulnerable to multiple investigations and lawsuits that his office has so far protected him from.

The Politico article continues:

“Could you imagine if I lose?” Trump said Friday evening at a campaign rally in Macon, Ga. “My whole life, what am I going to do? I’m going to say, 'I lost to the worst candidate in the history of politics.' I’m not going to feel so good. Maybe I’ll have to leave the country. I don’t know.”

Trump may have revealed his backup plan. He has a lot of classified information to offer any nation he approaches for refuge, so it would be in our national interest to see that he doesn't get away. When Joe Biden assumes office perhaps he should immediately take action to ensure that Trump's passport is revoked.
