Seal it up, leave him in there and disconnect the communications.
It's not the original one anyway.

Haha.
I hope he gets utterly humiliated in November. So much so that he'll become a cautionary tale warning against the next self-serving, self-promoting, sociopathic non-entity who wants to abuse democracy. |  |

I'll tell you what is a great embarrassment to the USA. Having a rapist racist as President. And not for the first time either. |  |

He does not. Ejection dates are a matter of Federal law. Any change in the date would mean legislation enacted by Congress, signed by the president and subject to challenge in the courts.
Additionally I just looked it up and "The Constitution mandates that the new Congress must be sworn in on Jan. 3, and that the new president’s term must begin on Jan. 20. Those dates cannot be changed just by the passage of normal legislation."
So unless Trump goes full on dictator AND gets the military on side, it's not happening.
Edit - obviously meant 'Election' but hopefully it'll be an ejection day too! [Post edited 30 Jul 2020 14:24]

Though the Republicans currently have a majority in Congress so presumably it’d be down to the courts to block it, with the case having to be heard before the administrative structure for the election is put into motion? |  |

I believe that legislation can't be enacted without approval of both the House and the Senate. They're equal bodies. Democrats hold the House majority. | |

Called it 5 months ago.
He is going to position himself as the 'stability President' until it is safe to go out and vote.
Of course he is currently threatening states to try and force them to open up and send kids back to school. But yeah, it's not safe to vote... |  | | |

I mean, this is real life and not a film. As nuts as the US is currently it's still some way off being a full blown Dictatorship.
There will be an election and Trump will hopefully lose. After that he will bitch and whine and salt the earth behind him but he will be gone come January. The real problem is what to do with his cult members long term. | |

The danger is if RBG has to retire from the Supreme Court, it will swing 6-3 in his party's favour. | | | |

you mean seal himself up in the white house and just refuse to leave. i honestly don't think that's at all impossible. |  |

Agree. The period from November to January is going to see significant unrest if he loses, as he will happily gaslight his base to 'protest' against the unfair system.
If he loses, he has to lose bigly | | | |

I presume this is the starting point for him to call the election illegal and ask for his supporters to stage mass protests if/when he loses?
ETA - thanks for the clarification regarding the Senate and Congress. [Post edited 30 Jul 2020 14:34]

Correct me if I'm wrong but it wouldn't get to the courts anyway as legislation wouldn't be approved by the House. Obviously the Senate would wave it through but legislation requires the approval of both right? | |

Also the other side of this, is Trump does this to distract from something else.
USA is apparently going to announce it's biggest ever death toll from Covid19 today | | | |

I'll admit i'm not up to date with all the legislation, but i'd a few articles earlier in the year where there was a path for him to delay due to a pandemic. | | | |

I don't think Trump thinks too deeply about anything. But I would expect him to do what he did during the Obama presidency. Scream and shout, wind up his cultists, undermine everything, advance conspiracy theories, spout racist nonsense.
So what he did as President really just without power. I think he will remain President of his cult though. | |

Trump is looking for other ways to stay in power because he now realises he might lose the election. I think his White House Yesmen have been feeding him false poll results to avoid putting him in a bad mood. I'm sure that if any of his campaign staff showed him a bad poll then he would dismiss the poll as fake news and also dismiss the messenger.
I still think the Martial law angle or getting the Supreme court to close the polls straight after Election day to stop mail-in voting being counted is where he'll try to steal the election. |  |

He could sign an executive order to send Homeland Security forces into cities to rachet up dissent and disorder.

Clearly I have a vested interest in hoping that's not true!
I just about have enough faith in certain Americans doing the right thing just about enough of the time that I can't see it happening.
I'm not sure Trump even wants to be President anymore anyway. Can't be much fun. If they were to offer him immunity from his crimes perhaps he'd be out of the door in a flash to live out his days rage tweeting from a guided toilet in Moscow. | |
