In the past, especially in 2016, when something looks like it's not going his way, he screams about whatever it is being "rigged."
In 2016 he repeatedly said the election was "rigged," with more and more outlandish and fake "theories."
Then he actually "won" the electoral college, (to hell with the popular vote, THEY are going to dictate who wins,) suddenly all the "rigged" whining stopped.
So suppose Trump loses the impeachment, or the 2020 election, and he declares it "rigged" and refuses to leave the White House?

If they do....well...they wont.

(10,252 posts)Even if he camps out in the WH and barricades it. He will not be POTUS. There are more than enough Fed judges, who will swear in the next POTUS. At which point, the next POTUS will simply order Fed marshalls to excort Trump to a waiting helicopter.
So not to worry!

(14,961 posts)The above post #3 explains how this will be handled. I worry more about those surrounding him, such as Barr, Pompeo, etc... I know these aspiring theocrats seem fairly harmless, but they have got a taste of power and they will not relinquish it easily.

(146,281 posts)Once he is no longer President, whether from losing the election and a new president is inaugurated, or on being removed by the Senate, he will be escorted out of that building if he doesn't leave on his own. He won't be the President any longer. He will no longer be able to give orders to anyone. I guarantee it.
His stuff will be packed up and put out as will he.

They stopped at a Shoneys in Tennessee and were noticed by local press.
The next days AP headlines were that he was opening a Shoneys in Tenn.
Pausing for a moment to absorb what we lost, again. Defining we in the sense of all creation.

(53,410 posts)What makes you think no one can move him out? Do you think hes going to have any staff left to defend him? Will the White House domestic staff hide him in the pantry? Will Melania throw herself over him to protect him while he kicks his heals in his tantrum? Will Ivanka?
Even if he locks himself into the hairspray laden cloud in the presidential bathroom he cant stop them from getting him out.
