View submission: 'Trump warns presidential election result may not be known for 'years,' as allegations grow he's undermining the USPS to rig the election

Keep in mind that trump staying in office illegally requires the military to agree to go along with the illegal coup and actively protect him. This isn’t a case where Trump himself can just ignore the law, other people who aren’t Republican ideologies need to actively agree with him.

Are we ignoring the military action of protestors less than 2 months ago?

I think Roberts and the SCOTUS will ultimately decide his fate. Any purple state Trump has influence over is going to mysteriously lose a bunch of ballots. Dems blame the GOP. GOP blame the Dems. The election becomes distilled down to ambiguities in Florida and Texas, and then Roberts and his team will either intervene on his behalf or the GOP acts before Pelosi takes over and all sides join forces to call it for Biden.
