Not only that, he has to, it's the only way he can postpone or cancel his impending criminal convictions.
Besides that, for the people pushing his movement it currently is the only option to seat a king and solidify a path for his family to inherit the throne.
So I fully expect a lot of trouble around the elections, from lawsuits to riots and open hostilities, and will be very surprised if it all goes fairly peacefully.
Hi, im sorry to bother. Is this the line of people not confident of peaceful power transition if Trump loses election? Do I need a number or do I just queue in?
He won't need tanks. The GOP has already put 2020 election deniers in many positions critical to holding the coming election. Three of the five member Georgia Board of Elections are Trump supporting election deniers. Even if the election is a blow out for Harris/Walz, Trump's sycophants will create absolute havoc in many counties around the country, particularly counties where the election might be expected to be close. They will refuse to certify elections. They will lie again claiming they have evidence of massive fraud and they will file endless lawsuits. In the end, they will try their damnedest to tie up the election certification process in at least one state so the Supreme Court can step in and declare Trump the winner, as they did with Bush in 2000.
If none of that works and the electoral vote certification goes off and Harris wins, Trump's loosest cannons will lose their shit and he will get the bloodbath he wants. So even if we hold the line against these fascists and manage to pull off a free and fair election despite their efforts, we will have to pay in blood to do it.
