He likes the perception of power more than power itself. He declares victory, gets it ‘stolen’ and then is ‘forced’ to leave. He then starts a media company or something.

He’ll lose MI, WI, and AZ. That’s enough to tip Biden over the edge

    I don't think he'll concede. I think part of him would be happy to leave the presidency but he's also afraid of prison. My honest hope is if it becomes clear Biden is going to win and there is nothing he can do that he continues to call it rigged and say he's won, then gets on a plane in January and flees to like Russia (he's too racist against China and I doubt they'd host him) and either declares government in exile or just hands over a bunch of secrets to Russia in order to stay and start a hotel chain. It would be so funny if you had a bunch of hooting chuds convinced the real president had been forced into exile in Russia and that him handing over defense secrets was part of some plan... oh fuck Qanon would grow like crazy, ah well.

    BALKANIZE THE US NOW!

        It's a fever dream I can get behind. I don't consider it realistic but people on this site are always popping off with unrealistic fantasies. Do you deny it would be extremely cool and good if this happened?

      lol at anybody with power trying to send a former US president to prison.

        The important thing would be him believing it. I tend to think it's unlikely as well but he might believe it a possibility.

        Not from state crimes. Also liberals don't dream about US secrets being given to Russia. If you haven't noticed they kind of hate that place and have this whole crazy conspiracy about it. I chose Russia because he admires Putin and it's probably the only country on earth strong enough to be able to offer asylum to someone in that situation. Plus they would think it very funny to dump American secrets on the internet.

      Couldn't he just, like, order the military to gift all of the nukes to Iran? I don't know how America works, but if he could do that they'd probably agree to build him a massive palace and give him his own TV station.

      A more realistic outcome is that he insists he was cheated out of victory, swears to get his revenge in 2024, and holds his first campaign rally to coincide with Biden's inauguration.

        He could order them to do that but he'd be impeached and removed before they could begin loading the first warheads on a plane. Also the generals wouldn't obey it.

        The thing with him defecting to Russia is its implausible but not impossible. He'd only have to take himself, get on a fucking plane, make up some excuse about a foreign visit, head to Russia, step off the plane, hand over any documents he managed to bring or give a debriefing from what he can recall. It's really, really simple and only requires the cooperation of a pilot which he could always hire one privately if he can't take AF1.
