14. The Constitution says nothing about Trump having to step down

At 12:01 pm January 20, 2021, Trump isn’t president anymore. His advisors will have explained to him the optics of having to be dragged out of the White House.

I suspect Trump will resign along with all his minions and flee the country in an attempt to cause chaos. Little does he know Nancy Pelosi would simply pick a VP and call in Obama’s cabinet, and we’d have a completely functioning government for the first time in four years.
