4. My feeling is that the hard-line trump voters are going to get violent either way.

You are right. If he goes they will think it is a conspiracy and there will be multiple acts of domestic terrorism.

However, if he stays, they will STILL find conspiracies, and they will fight those conspiracies with force ("let's get the national guard to knock on doors of immigrants!&quot and they will have the power of the presidency behind them.

Better for the country if he goes, even though there is danger there too.
