      He’ll try to cancel the election, but the states run their own elections. So at most all hell accomplish is red states not holding elections and the Dem candidate winning in a landslide.

      Then shit really gets crazy

        Result: Democrat candidate 269, Trump 0

        Supreme Court: “Goes to House of Representatives lol”

        House of Representatives: “Trump wins lol”

        Supreme Court: “Trump can’t run for a third term, but House selecting him it totally legit lol”

          But it’s the new Congress that would select the President in this manner, and if Red states don’t hold elections, they can’t send any representatives to that new Congress.

      Exactly, you don’t have to run if you declare yourself King

      If he does leave office, it’s possible many people will go after him if they can. I know the SCOTUS decided the president can do whatever he wants with legal impunity, but I am sure he can still be dragged into a lot of legal battles given the extravagant number and level of crimes he is committing on a weekly basis. Why put himself through that in his last few years when he can just stay on top and shit on everybody, enjoying himself with our suffering? This guy is all in, he has made a new playbook for the oligarchy, and he is never going back unless the rest of the oligarchs decide he is a liability. Even then, he wont give up easily. My guess is he will leave the White House in a coffin (either old age or hanged by a mob)

    Yam Tits also said he would leave the country if he didn’t win the election Biden won…

    Thats nice of him, maybe he’ll do us all another favor and have a massive coronary. Not like the law already says he’s ineligible for a third term…

    He’s laying out two options:

    He’ll be king and will have done away with voting for the presidency and federal government. No need to run for non existant elections. Perhaps even settled legislation to have someone of his choosing take the throne.

    Or:

    He is realizing that the path he put his country on is one only of destruction and chaos.
    A good chance it’ll be so bad there is no path to repair a rerun of his governing can bring about. So he might grab a plane out of the county at the earliest opportunity.

      That requires self-awareness which Trumpie does not have at all.

  • If they make him Speaker and the two MAGAts ahead of him resign then he won’t have to ‘run’ for the office. That’s assuming we get another Presidential election.

    If Trump doesn’t leave when term ends he will have to stay in the white house and never leave. So no more rallies for him. I hope he trys and the next president orders him dragged from the office in chains.

      Problem is he has the whole government in his pocket. It’s optimistic to think the election will be fair or that anyone would be willing to put chains on him. He fired everyone who doesn’t bow to him.
