If Trump is a threat to democracy, as Biden has said, and a fascist, as Harris has said, why is the administration treating this transfer of power as normal?”
This meeting is not an indication that things are now ‘normal’ and should not be portrayed as such by the media,
Only for me, not for thee! Here is Donald Trump, praising the professionalism and orderly presidential transition he denied the incoming Biden administration in 2020,
And it’s not just him. You heard this from former staffers,
It is the absolute right thing for both Trump and Biden to be doing right now,
I think by the length of the meeting tells you that they had an in-depth conversation on an array of issues,
We really had a really good meeting
I wanted to know his views on where we are,
Everyone is psyched for Trump to be back in the White House,
A transition that is so smooth it'll be as smooth as you can get, and I very much appreciate that, Joe."
Trump is giving a version of a smile I have seen him use before,
One knee is sharply pointed weapon-like towards Biden,
His body language is calm and politely more passive than Biden's as though willing to show
Well, Mr. President-elect and former president, Donald, congratulations.
Trump sits rather low in his chair and employs two key gestures of a desire to look amenable rather than dominant,
Firstly he uses active listening signals as Biden speaks, including a forward torso lead and some nodding,
Congratulations and looking forward to having a, like we said, smooth transition,
It’s going to be close, but it looks like it’s going to be Caitlin Clark,
He was received enthusiastically with a great deal of support,
We won all seven swing states by a lot,
