33. If the military doesn't prop up Trump via a coup, he won't be president after 1/20/29

It’s that simple.

Despite your dire doomer pronouncements, the following facts will unfold:

Trump won’t be on the 2028 ballots, primary or general.

States will hold elections as scheduled in both 2026 and 2028.

The states will send their electoral votes to congress to be certified on 1/3/29

If, for some reason, the congress fails to complete its constitutional duty and certify the results of the electoral college and declare a winner, then the constitutional order of succession will result in an acting president being sworn in on 1/20/29.

SCOTUS has no jurisdiction over internal congressional processes, such as certifying electoral votes.

The only thing that can change these facts is if a military coup occurs.

If any of these facts fail to unfold, please make a post calling me out by name with the title “I told You So!”

In the meantime, please be mindful of the impact of your imagined, evidence-free dystopian fantasies upon morale of the DU community.
