In reply to the discussion: "Trump Can't Just Refuse To Leave Office" [View all]Cha
(297,196 posts)8. Like the article says.. trump has stated
that he doesn't know if he'll leave office if he loses.
There have been a lot of posts speculating on this, too.
This article makes it clear how it Will Happen.
If Trump could get away with refusing to leave the Oval Office, in order to extend his autocratic power, as Cohen put it, he probably would. But he wouldnt get away with it; those around him would almost certainly advise him against it, if he asked; therefore my guess is, he wont try. Then again, in recent years many things have happened that I would have bet against. Lets say the nightmare happens. Here is why it wont last long.
I, for one, appreciate it. Mahalo, quickesst.

I don't think this is the likely scenario nor the one people are most worried about.

Meh. (1) Cut the utilities. (2) Put new padlocks on the OUTside of his new fence.

I have seen ZERO quotes from a single person that they will escort Trump from office
