Regardless of his disregard for the laws of the nation, Trump must obey the laws of physics, which will do when the new Commander in Chief orders him to be physically removed from the White House (unless you think thousands in the military will commit treason and enable a coup).

SCOTUS will never rule that 2=3, for that would permanently and irreversibly extinguish their power, authority and relevancy. Their loyalty is to their ideology, not to Trump the man.

States run elections- they weren’t canceled during the civil war, or any war, and they won’t be canceled in 2028- Trump doesn’t have the power.

Remember this one absolute truth:

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless

We have seen that truth proven repeatedly, despite the daily atrocities committed by this administration.
