Trump keeps fighting for a few more days. Then says it’s obvious he was cheated, but for the sake of the country he concedes. (He will not use that word, however). Soon after Biden is inaugurated, he will hold multiple rallies just before he starts his own television network, or piggybacks on OAN or Newsmax. (Fox somehow now is a liberal rag) The theme of the next 4 years will be how dirty the Democrats are and how he was cheated. The goal will be to cast doubt on our entire election system going forward.
