What happens if the Trump doesn't accept the election results?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump has been asked more than once whether he would accept the results of November's election. He won't say. What he has done is repeatedly claim the anticipated surge in mail-in ballots will "rig" the voting process.

At issue is the peaceful transfer of power from an outgoing president to his successor — no matter how bitter the campaign. It's a transition mandated by the 20th Amendment and a critical American tradition.

"I have to see," Mr. Trump said when asked by Fox News' Chris Wallace last Sunday whether he would accept the results. "No, I'm not going to just say yes. I'm not going to say no, and I didn't last time either." During a presidential debate with Hillary Clinton in 2016, Trump responded to a similar question from Wallace by saying, "I'll keep you in suspense."

Constitutional scholars and election experts contend that a president cannot dismiss the results of the election and hold on to power.

"It is not up to President Trump, and the country does not have to satisfy him that he has lost," says Jonathan Turley, a constitutional law professor at George Washington University and a CBS News legal analyst. "The Secret Service on Inauguration Day is under the direction of the new president. Upon the oath of office taken by his successor, President Trump becomes a guest in the White House. If he remains, he becomes an unwelcome guest. If he refuses to leave, he becomes an arrested guest."

1. he is going to lose and we'll see

what transpires between election day and Inauguration Day. I think we will have a very, very contentious transfer of power this election.

2. Then he can go fuck himself

There is no way this piece of shit earned another term -- he's trashed this country beyond belief...

3. Biden had a perfect response. "The United States is perfectly capabable...

.. of removing trespassers from the White House.

4. When the E.C. certifies the result...

...it's over for the Donald. On January 20 Biden's SS will drag him out in cuffs if necessary.

5. When he loses and President Biden is inauguratede on January 20, 2021, the Secret Service

will escort Pussy-Grabber's fat ass out of the White House. It's that simple.

6. It's not up to him.

We are the only ones who need to accept the election results. He can live in his little fantasy world all he wants, but if he doesn't accept the results of Biden's win he will have his fat ass physically dragged out of the White House on January 20th, along with his bimbo wife and mutant grifting children.

7. In a way, I'd like to see him refuse to leave

Not much would make me smile more than seeing his fat ass being physically hauled off of the White House grounds.

8. He'll be even more bitter and petulant than he is now

And with even less reason for his bitterness.

11. But I think he will accept the results..Why? It will be an overwhelming defeat..

Maybe less than 50 electoral votes. Biden wins in a landslide..
He will have to accept the results, & everyone...YES EVERYONE will urge him to leave peacefully,
even if he seems to not accept the results....

All will say, "You lost legally, now leave." And yes, Biden will win in a landslide..
........Why? Trump is a liar, a crook, and a Bully!!
