As per suchmoon I moved this to it's own thread.
A few mods to what you posted

1) Set the date to the 21st which is the day after the inauguration, technically it's not official till the swearing in ceremony on the 20th sometime.

2) We agree President to mean President that has been sworn in as President of the USA, not that they just declare themselves president or Trump still being president of Trump property development.

3) Self mod thread. More or less I post this, you agree or we go back and forth in public with the rules till we both agree then it's locked away till January, plenty of places to discuss it elsewhere.

Agreed. See this thread again 22 Jan 2021

First, it was a pleasure working with you.

I paid early because I don’t see any realistic path for Trump to be president in 2021, and I think that Trump should acknowledge that Biden will be president (legitimate or otherwise) next year, and he can start his next Presidential campaign if he do chooses.

For the good of the country.

Having a $200mm + war chest before he even leaves office gives him a huge advantage in the 2024 general election, and I doubt he will have serious competition in the primaries if he decides to run.

I didn't say that Trump should concede the election, I said he should acknowledge that Biden will be the next president. There were irregularities in multiple states, voting rules were changed without the state legislatures (despite the constitution requiring that state legislatures set voting rules), and rules were applied unevenly. This was why I made this bet with DaveF, as I thought that Trump had a pretty solid argument.

I think Trump's strategy was to make outlandish claims via proxies (Sydney Powell, and Rudy Giuliani) in order to get republican controlled state legislatures to send republican electoral college voters to the EC despite the results showing that Biden won their state's election. I think the problem was that the claims were too outlandish, and were not supported by facts. Trump's legal team never made a serious effort into having the courts address what I believe were serious deficiencies in the election. I think Trump was afraid the SC would be hesitant to throw out a deficient Presidential election on fairly minor issues, even though they were large enough to swing the election in Biden's favor.

He can pretend to run and funnel that money to Mar-a-Lago while he sits there tweeting.

I doubt that the Trump campaign has that much debt. I also understand that a candidate is not personally responsible for any debt that their campaign incurs.

Some of the $200MM Trump has raised since the election has gone into his leadership PAC, and I do not doubt that this is a substantial amount, however, I also understand that Trump personally put hundreds of millions of his own dollars into getting elected in 2016 and that he entered office being a multimillionaire. If Trump wanted to exert influence on the Republican party with a lot of money, he already has the means of doing so.

I would not be surprised to see Trump hold rallies throughout the Biden/Harris Presidency, and he will probably campaign for Republicans in the 2022 midterms, who are expected to retake the House, which Trump will take credit for.

I do think that Trump had legitimate concerns about the 2020 election, but I don't think his legal team was very serious.

Well, just about everything after me saying PN7 paid me and his response is OT.
It's why I locked this thread in the beginning when we 1st agreed to the bet. There are other threads here in Politics & Society going over the same stuff.
At this point I am going to leave it open for others to use but not get involved here. Since it is a moderated thread I can in theory censor posts so I'll let everyone else run with it.
