There seems to be some concern whether or not trump will relinquish his current post when he

looses the election. I say, fear not, one way or the other he is going. He knows how much trouble he is in. He never expected to win the presidency ( not that he won the popular vote). He was the most surprised person in America, other than the real winner of the election.

He is now caught in the brambles and thorns of his own poison patch. As we get closer to his demise we will see and hear more frantic and disassociative behavior. Cognitive dissonance will be the phrase most linked to trump, trumpism and his acolytes. Or more accurately, cognitive incoherence.

He will flail and froth about, making noises we will all come to equate with the childish temper tantrums he has displayed via social media. His desperation and threats that follow will only go to show how fearful he is. He will use our incredulity and desire to be quit of him to play “Let’s Make a Deal” on a presidential scale. He is going to want total exoneration for all his crimes and misdemeanors, felonies and tax cheating, collusion and conspiracies and he gets to keep everything he has stolen from anyone ever, including the taxpayers.....especially the taxpayers. That will be his deal.

He knows that no matter what, the minute he is out of office, he will be arrested and charged by the New York Attorney Generals Office. There is no way he can evade this. He could maybe escape to Russia and beg for asylum. He then could go horseback riding bare chested with his daddy Putin. That is his only way out.

So fear not, he is going. Even if he has to be dragged out by his bone spurs and dumped in the gutter in front of the White House. That will give us a whole new verb phrase...perp drag.

1. Agree, fear not. If he loses, he's gone. GOPers said same about Obama. We don't have to be like them

Although, i'm not so sure there is a jury in the country that won't have a few white wingers who will never vote to convict the Racist-in-Chief.

3. Who's going to protect him if he stays in the White House?

The police will evict him and his entire staff simply to comply with the court orders to vacate. I have complete faith that the military will not protect him. And other than a few crazies not even his base will protect him.

He will leave.

5. Yep, although at the rate he's going, it could all be moot.

I think his cardiovascular system is going to remove him before the voters and impeachment get their chance. I am shocked that it hasn't done so already, between the stress, the shitty diet, and the Adderall/cocaine/whatever else he's using.

he will be leaving. I know this because it will be months after the election and everyone will know he is no longer holding office, he doesn't have to be at the inauguration. When the new president is sworn in, I suspect that indictments now on hold will be waiting right there at the door for him if they don't go in and cuff him should he refuse to come out. He will be immediately charged as soon as 46 is sworn in... that is if he doesn't leave by some turn of fate before then.

I am unwilling to cower in my boots while some asshole waves his dick at me and yells oogabooga... which essentially what he's doing half the time.

9. My take on Nancy's concern is his effort to goad his base

Given the way he encourages violence there is a real possibility of armed conflict with a cohort of "dead enders" after a losing campaign.
