Trump will attempt to "win" even if it means using the Army to steal voting machines.

He will attempt to win even if it means killing Americans. Jesus, he has already done that more than once.

Trump will attempt to win by any crime and cheat available to him unless he is convinced at election day that the resistance is strong enough to seal his defeat.

If Trump the Coward shows up, that's a good thing for everyone. Just monitor the airports because he will be making plans to escape.

First, he blames it on somebody else. But since that isn't enough to appease his fragile ego-driven need for revenge, he resorts to his customary double-down attacks on anybody or anything that caused his defeat ~ ally or foe alike.

Fortunately, on the world stage, Trump has exposed his weakness to the point that world leaders are now seeing him as the incompetent fool he's always been, worthy only of ridicule.

America is also catching on . . . fast.

He will murder more poor or marginalised brown people (or white people who have the guts to stick up for poor or marginalised brown people).

What happens?

He throws a tantrum. Lies that he won. Pays for the poorly educated to descend onto DC and attack Congress.

Democrats will let another opportunity for justice slip away in the name of "healing", setting up some worse situation down the road.

Hmm...Immediately declarare dem skullduggery the moment the pols show the inevitable drubbing the R's & the Magasaurs are about eat, followed by a real quiet assessment of what Joint Chiefs might be "persuaded" into backing any Oval office refusal to gracefully concede. Then, as the outrage naturally follows, camo-coutured military personnel backed by APCs will quietly begin popping up around larger Dem-voting population centers, crewed by completely torn personnel operating on purposely vague orders issued outside the normal chain of command. The amateur hour scriptwriter in my head keeps attempting to flesh out this intriguing scenario, fueled by increasingly sad vignettes on cable news, night after night. My problem is how to write away from the obvious cliche ending...I'm kind of stumped.

A line will be drawn in this country, and every swingin' buckaroo & buckette in this deservedly troubled land will have choose which side of it they're going find themselves standing on when it all goes sideways.

He is preparing to invade Iran right now! He's planning to be a wartimePresident like Bush and wrap himself in the flag again. Then we'll see how stupid MAGAs really are! And the cost? We'll be remembering today's debt with fond memories! Putin is already sending them his latest fighter jets1
