In reply to the discussion: This is the reason Trump will leave peacefully & not contest Biden's election in any way. [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(15,601 posts)Even if legal challenges prove pointless due to Bidens landslide, Trump will claim his win is not legitimate due to fraud. He will wreak havoc and sow chaos in his final months. He will be desperate to do something, anything, to protect himself from post-presidential prosecution. As some have speculated he may resign so Pence can pardon him, or try to self-pardon.
In the meantime, he and his cronies will take everything that isnt nailed down. I predict there will be an acceleration of transfers of govt. funds to Trump businesses.
Even if Trump is pardoned, Biden will need to have him and family (especially Jared) surveilled for the rest of their lives, because I am certain they will try to use their knowledge of classified information for financial gain.
As much as I look forward to January 20, I dont look forward to the lame duck period that precedes it.
