There is no way he has 90 out of 100 people supporting him. He has no sway in the international community, he is not supported by over 50 percent of the population, and he has tons of enemies among career government workers. He will most likely be facing a hostile Congress, and the Supreme Court has been more moderate than expected. Roberts will not stop the house from choosing a president, since the language in the constitution is completely clear.
Yes, he has gotten away with flouting laws, yes he will definitely try to not leave the Oval Office. Yes, he has some scary, die hard support. But he’s too divisive to pull off something so clearly extreme.
We should prepare for him trying to stay in office, but we should keep our expectations realistic. Don’t be fatalistic.
