Trump critic George Conway predicts POTUS will take ‘his toys and go home’, Internet says 'totally agree'

'Sometime soon, he travels to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend as he always has, but this time he just stays there,' New York Magazine Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi wrote

A staunch critic of President Donald Trump has spoken up against the POTUS' refusal to concede the race against president-elect Joe Biden, predicting that the former will "take his toys" and leave the White House never to come back again.

The idea of Trump leaving the presidential residence without making an official declaration was first made by New York Magazine Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi. She predicted what she thought the scenario would look like in 10 weeks when Trump is scheduled to leave office and Biden is supposed to enter the White House with his own administration.

"I have heard a lot of predictions about Donald Trump refusing to leave office, but my prediction is he will leave suddenly. The scenario I can picture most easily is this: sometime soon, he travels to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend as he always has, but this time he just stays there," she wrote, alluding to the president's favorite place to travel when he wants to unwind and play some golf. In some follow-up tweets, she added, "I should add that I have never accurately predicted anything. Actually that’s not true. I have made one accurate prediction: in 2016 I said that win or lose, Trump would play 'My Way' on election night and that did end up happening."

To Nuzzi's tweet, Trump critic George Conway - the husband of the POTUS' former counselor Kellyanne Conway - promptly responded, “Totally agree with this. Takes his toys and goes home.” He continued, “But he won’t say he’s not coming back, because he doesn’t want to play up that he’s leaving town in defeat. He just won’t come back.” Kellyanne announced in August 2020 that she would be leaving the White House at the end of the month. The decision came after months of public feud between herself and her teenage daughter, Claudia.

Many social media users agreed with both Nuzzi as well as Conway's prediction. "Thanksgiving. Surprised if he returns to DC," one said, while another commented, "Totally agree. Xmas break is my guess." A third wrote, "I was hoping he'd schedule on last trip with his new love, KJU, and live out his weeks in Pyongyang. Until the debt collectors catch up." The next quipped, "And he departs via the tunnels at night so nobody gets the 'walk of shame' photo."

Someone else wrote, "It would be an easy transition. He's already demonstrated his ability to not work from anywhere." One person said, "As long as he provides an address where he can be served, he can leave whenever he wants." Another remarked, "Expect him to fly to Moscow with Air Force 1 and turn over all of our classified information to Putin."

Over the weekend, Trump, for the time since his projected election loss to Biden, signaled that this democratic rival might have "won" the 2020 presidential election. This comes as Trump continues to insist the election was "rigged" against him, stressing once again how this acknowledgment shouldn't be seen as him conceding.

"He won because the Election was Rigged. NO VOTE WATCHERS OR OBSERVERS allowed, vote tabulated by a Radical Left privately owned company, Dominion, with a bad reputation & bum equipment that couldn’t even qualify for Texas (which I won by a lot!), the Fake & Silent Media, & more!" he said in a tweet on Sunday, November 15, immediately adding in another, "He only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA. I concede NOTHING! We have a long way to go. This was a RIGGED ELECTION!"
