re: #67 Scottish Dragon

He will refuse to leave. He cannot admit defeat and he knows he is at grave legal risk the moment he leaves. He has been building the “Illegals rigged the election” theme for two years now and he will weaponize it in 2020 to mount legal challenges IMHO. I see no reason for him to NOT to do it.

He does not respect the tradition of peaceful turnover of power, and he does not recognize or respect anything else beyond his immediate fulfillment of needs. What seems obvious to me at this point is that Trump will do the worst thing possible if allowed, and he will do it without thought or hesitation. Moreover, he equates use of armed force with strength. He already toyed with the idea of a National Guard occupation of Chicago a year ago. When things get dicey here and protestors have taken over the streets to demand he leaves, he knows exactly what his base will demand and love:

Beating us and shooting at us.

“refuse to leave” how? do you imagine his secret service detail is going to be thinking “well, he is the former president, so clearly he’s entitled to be here”?
