...will he show up for Joe's inauguration?

Depending on whether he will adhere to social distancing and mask wearing rules at the time.

...if so, will he tear up a (faux) copy of Joe's speech?

No. Chances are he won’t be paid much attention and would find it futile to attempt any theatric.

...will he shake Joe's hand?

No, social distancing rules would prohibit this.

...will Melania kiss Joe?

No, social distancing rules would prohibit this.

I was wondering about the letter he'll leave for him - "keep the seat warm as I'll be back."

It’s hard to imagine him showing up. Or participating in any of the norms.

Does Pence? I think as his own man he’d do it. But he might feel the need to perform for Trump’s base, assuming he has further aspirations.

In nearly 20 years, that is possibly the least relevant post I have ever seen here. Well played,George, well played.

These are the questions that are weighing on my mind tonight.

I thought about that earlier today as well, but forgot to include it in my questions.

It seems that every POTUS has left a hand-written letter.

I wonder if he'll type his up on a computer.

I mean...that signature? Who dafuq can read that?

Years ago, I picked up an autographed copy of the Art of the Deal at a library booksale for a couple of bucks and sold it for $125 after he became President. Much better than my signed Lawrence Welk autobiography.

Donald Trump and Lawrence Welk. When I die and go to hell, I imagine they'll be headlining in a duet together.

He'll do all the normal expected ex-president stuff.

Just like he has dutifully done all the other stuff.

Don't confuse his actions with the twisted reporting.

Why would such a purchase even enter your mind, LOL?

Good question. I suspect the autograph and $2 price tag. The Lawrence Welk book would seem more difficult to explain, but I got it for my father who was a fan.

Speaking of inauguration day, I can't wait to see the letter that Trump leaves in the drawer of the Resolute Desk.
