Right?

I'm so tired of people's recklessly optimistic cries of "he can't do that because it's illegal"

Like ***laws*** have ever stopped this man from doing literally anything.

It’s how it will work this time too unless the military decides to enact a coup on Trump’s behalf.

So many factors in play. The branches of government, all with expiring terms. The secret service and the military, Donald Trumps diehard supporters, his diehard opponents. A private jet to Russia?

If he “wins” there is no reason to trust the result after everything he’s said and done. He won’t concede, he won’t leave voluntarily. If he’s removed by force there’ll be people that try to use force to keep him in. It’ll be historic to say the least.
