I'm not putting Trump past it, but the idea he could get away with it is just so laughable. The white house isn't the presidency. He would be forced out if he loses because he won't be president after inauguration day.

Yep, throw his lame-duck session (the likes of which we've probably never seen before) on top of that and it's going to get ugly. Really ugly.
This too. Joe Biden can be the President from a Starbucks. Let Trump rot away in the building until he's reached his limit and cracks.
Biden removing these multiple layers of increasingly bigger fences is going to be great optics for how things are returning to normalcy actually.
If he's really planning on a "Trump" news network, I expect him to be fucking nuts until the inauguration, trying his best keep his core base post-presidency. If he really has nothing planned, nothing more to sell, I wouldn't be surprised to see him off Twitter and in a more sober, depressed mood. I wish for the latter, but I feel like he'll be on a rampage until Biden is sworn in.
Not an election doomer myself usually, but to me this reeks of pulling some shit as early as tomorrow.
He admires dictators, he admires how China suppressed the Tiananmen Square protests. He will absolutely try to hold power through violence, but he is incompetent and stupid. He'll demand the military step in to "prevent a coup by the left" and they will ignore him. His admin will vainly try to urge the Republican elite to support him, and Mitch has his judge, he has already sold Trump down the river with his stimulus package, he will not risk a failed coup and lending support to Dems for the future.
All he has is his base, but that ain't enough to win the election or keep him in power. He will smear the office of the Presidency quite a bit more before Biden comes in of course but hes gone if the election is lost.

The thing is, before Trumplethinskin we never had a president so maniacal enough to barricade himself in the White House and refuse to accept the results of an election. So it was never that big of a deal to have a three month period before the transfer of power.
im kind of amazed i havent seen stuff with the wall more in the last 4 years
It's more likely that he just wants to stay safe when he loses. He's one of the most hated presidents in US history. When it's confirmed that he's on his way out people are going to protest the shit out of everything his lame duck administration does.
"Normalcy" is how we got here. I am 1000% uninterested in returning to that.
This only works if secret service and the military plays along. The military is not siding with Trump, so this is a non-starter.
I'm pretty sure a more competent narcissist has been taking notes these past 5 years. Probably multiple, more competent narcissists.
same. This is feeling like a third world nation election right now. Holy fuck.
I doubt the Secret Service does either. They'll obviously protect him from being killed (since it is their job), but they have no love for him at all - especially after his COVID joyride stunt. They'll drag him out of the White House too.
Nah, he actually believes if he wins, Anifa is gonna come storming for his head. This is to keep him alive. If he loses, his ass is heading to mar-a-lago.
he was always too incompetent to do anything with the wall and Republicans never actually wanted it
The Division 2 has got a few things right about 2020 and it was released in 2019
Worldwide Virus: Check
Crazy Militia: Check
Riots: Check
Police violence : Check
Whitehouse lockdown: Check
Far Cry 5 also warned us of religiously motivated militias.
As much as I dislike Ubisoft these days, some of their stuff is pretty on point regarding some world events.
He should have did that from the start, spreading covid everywhere at his stupid ass maskless rallies
He is definitely going to declare it's a fraud if he loses and will be trying to destabilise the country even more so he can stay in power. He's going to insist he's still president even after Biden is sworn in. What actually happens if a president refuses to hand the WH over to their successor? And if they are largely backed by their party in refusing to admit defeat?
You can try but we still need to pay you for the first one you haven't built.
