Trump lost the election, his term ends at noon on January 20, 2021, PERIOD.

At that point he becomes a private citizen, with no governing authority, & if he refuses to leave the White House he will be removed as a trespasser.

That has been explained at least a thousand times & yet the media still write these "what if" articles because the fear & uncertainty gets clicks.
