In reply to the discussion: Let's discuss what would happen if Trump claims "fraud" and suggests he won't leave when he loses [View all]jberryhill

Someone always does.
That article, incidentally, is a lie, as is the suggestion that Pelosi is worried that he won't leave office.
Try reading the actual interview with Pelosi. She is talking about electoral challenges, which can certainly be filed, and will also as certainly be resolved prior to January 20 at noon when the term expires.
It is unfortunate that people on DU continue to spread exaggerated or false characterizations of what politicians say, and favor clickbait headlines like the one you reference, which is factually false.

My OP suggested he would possibly attempt something and fail. Pelosi is at least concerned

Agreed. I just expect him to attempt some kind of BS that will lead to at least some violence. nt

I agree but I think he will say it was stolen and there will be some violence but it will backfire

It's been my worry from day one. I don't believe he will voluntarily leave under any circumstance.

The Secret Service will see him off and Trump will go gladly so he can do some profit scheme
