Ex-Trump lawyer Cohen says he fears Trump may not allow 'peaceful transition' if he loses in 2020

U.S. President Donald Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen said during his congressional testimony on Wednesday that he fears Trump will not allow his successor to peacefully take control of the White House if he loses the 2020 presidential election.

“Given my experience working for Mr. Trump, I fear that if he loses the election in 2020, there will never be a peaceful transition of power,” Cohen said during his closing remarks before the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee.

He might throw himself down on the floor, kick and scream, hold his breath until he turns blue. But law enforcement officials or secret service or military will arrive, armed appropriately and will escort his stinkin’ ass out.

And I think Cohen gives us fair warning. He knows tRump very well and what he is capable of doing. So we would be wise to heed his words.

what will probably be a UGE inauguration, owing to the fact the country is going to be SO RELIEVED he is gone, we will all be in a major party mood.

But no. If nothing else does, that would land Trump right in jail. There may be some scattered MAGA attacks, but that's it.

Trump is above all, a coward.

They're probably going to have to break out the fire hoses.

This dumpster fire has been burning far too long as it is.
