So Bob, trying to bring you back on topic:
What do YOU (bob_the_fisherman) think that Trump will do
IF he loses the 2020 election?
A. Accept the democratic results?
B. Deny the democratic results?
C. Something else (feel free to describe it).
I think the hysteria is severely overblown. But that is what TDS seems to do to people. They seem incapable of seeing our great God-Emperor Trump as human (and in a way I understand that. His awesome is glorious to behold, but I think he is predominantly human with some god-like tendencies).
Ok, now that I have thrown burly in the water, I'll answer the question more seriously.
If he does run (and I'm not entirely convinced he will), but if he does I think he may well question the legitimacy of the election. Are you saying this is evil or wrong somehow? I think that is happening now, isn't it? Aren't people questioning the last election?
I am not American so honestly don't know the answer to this, but can a US President refuse to accept an election result and just continue in power? Wouldn't there be some constitutional remedies against that?
Will he pardon some people? Probably. But I probably would too based on what we've seen so far - not those who legitimately did wrong. I would not support that. But those who have been found guilty of lying in an investigation into a thing no one believes in - yeah, pardon away.
Ultimately as I do not see Trump as the embodiment of all evil I think he would step aside. He might whine about it, but I think he would follow convention (if not the Constitution). I could be wrong. Like everyone here I do not know Trump personally. I know what the media say, but I have listened to them, then listened to him and seen how severely and how often they lie, so I give Trump credence and integrity way beyond what I give the media.
