Don't worry about that. He will be only too glad to leave.

Consider: He's the ultimate slacker.
In exchange for 8 years of being the most powerful man in the world, he now has unlimited free health care and retirement for his family and secret service protection 24-7-365. He has access to the most powerful people in the world and the financial backing to match. He will have favors and peerage that most of us will never dream about including insider information that can be leveraged to gain tremendous wealth. He can command six-figure speaking engagements and endorsements. He can go on to wherever he wants in terms of a soft-shoe career and his kids are guaranteed to have whatever they want the rest of their lives. He can go anywhere, do nearly anything, with the auspices of a former POTUS. He will, if anything, have even more political clout than he does now because he doesn't have to represent the United State government directly any longer. The office of POTUS is as much a hobble as it is a boon because he has to represent certain images despite how much he may or may not like it. He still has to appear "presidential". Ex-presidents don't have that responsibility.

And he'll appear regularly in the DoperStates in a Panama hat....

He will be lucky to avoid indictment for Social Security fraud (among a laundry list of possible felony prosecutions), and subsequent deportation as a criminal illegal alien.
And unlike Tricky Dick, he won't have President Biden around to pardon him retroactively.

He'll also be surpassing fortunate not to achieve actual martyr status when some whackjob discovers by experience how lacking is the fourth-rate security posture of former presidents and their detail.

Never happen. He'll be a public pain and embarrassment for decades.

As has already been mentioned, he's going to be the gift that keeps on giving, kind of like gonorrhea, but worse. There's no cure for this "gift".

Surely you are joking.

That would be OK with me. The whacking, that is.

Necro because it is still relevant. He is never referred to as a Lame Duck, other than places such as this forum. Interesting, but not surprising.
