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. |
I don't doubt thqt there's a fair percentage of good people who will do the right thing, I just don't think it will matter. |  | |  |

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. |
Looks like he can't change it. But then he shouldn't be able to do a lot of things

Well, agree to disagree!
To my mind what you think might happen is in the realms of fantasy. However, if I'm wrong I expect I'll be in the first wave of folk shot as the Army flattens Democratic cities across the country! So get your 'I told you so!' as soon as the news breaks! |  |

Let's be honest, if he tries to pull something like ignoring an democratic election vote then we would probably be flirting with civil war territory at that point. | |

Yup you're right. Trump being Trump on steroids is always a distraction. My first thought was something to do with Maxwell maybe, but I think you're on the money with the Covid death figure. | |

I agree.
Trump outside the tent p*ssing in might be even worse than now except a new Attorney General of the DOJ might find ways to prosecute him if he is seen as a threat to the security of the US.
I don't doubt for a minute that he will rage from the touchlines and there are plenty of media sites that will amplify his tweets.
He will spout BS and I don't know whether the WH under Biden will even engage his nonsense. The best approach would be to dismiss him as unhinged and just ignore him.
I'm sure that there are members of his cult who will cause disruption if Trump pumps up their anger. |  |

To be fair, he posed it as a question. Also he’s fooling insane. Not really worthy of a BBC breaking news splash |  |

Call me crazy, but I'm convinced that he will still be president this time next year, by hook or by crook. |
I fear you may be right; largely due to Biden being in very real mental decline. Seriously if the dems mess this one up they may as well give up altogether. | |

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 |
But what's he going to do tomorrow? And the day after? |  |

Can an ex US president run for presidency again? So could he, in theory lose in November. Then come back at the next election? |  |

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. |
Normally their second name would be 'Kennedy' |  | | |

Has Biden chosen a VP yet? What would happen if, eg, Biden were taken seriously ill and had to retire? |  |

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. |
Could he actually do that? ie get the Supreme court to "close the polls straight after Election day to stop mail-in voting being counted"? | |

He will announce in a couple of weeks. Think thd shortlist consists of four younger black women. | |

I think we’re about to find out exactly what he “can do” - it may not be pretty. | | | |

There's no way that man is leaving the Whitehouse. |
He will be removed. The civil and secret service dislike working for him and will be happy to frogmarch him out . Even if a coup were possible he would need the Army and he lost them when he did nothing to stop the Russians paying the Taliban to kill American soldiers. In January next year whether or not the election takes place he ceases to become president and the leader of The House of Representatives (Nancy Pelosi, a democrat and hugely anti Trump) will become acting president until the election takes place.

Likely to be Kamala Harris or Susan Rice.
Also, a little known bit of legislation puts Pelosi as ‘temporary’ President if the election was delayed beyond Jan 20th. | | | |
