I think this is worth discussing because if I had to bet I think he is going to do this. Some possibilities that come to mind:
Whether he likes it or not he could be physically removed but I don't think it would end there. He would rile up his idiot base but I think enough of the generals in the military hate him they would tell him to fuck off. I think ultimately it would backfire and make him look bad. A bunch of rabbid gun carrying rednecks and KKK members threatening and committing violence would play terrible on TV. The police and military would follow the constitution and put them down quick.
For anyone who thinks this is nuts, it appears Pelosi is worried about this occurring:
Snip: Why Pelosi is worried
Pelosi revealed that she worried about Trump questioning the legitimacy of last year’s midterm election results. She said she believes he didn’t because her party’s resounding victory — Democrats flipped 40 House seats and control of the chamber — made it too difficult for him to make a case that Republicans had been cheated.
