From there it gets a little iffy. I currently have the Secret Service putting Trump in cuffs, frog marching him onto Marine One, giving him a last ride on Air Force One...
Destination, New York, where he has a date with a judge on his finances... I picture a bunch of Department of Justice officials meeting the plane.
Lol! Every day you seem more delusional than you did the previous day.
This is one occasion that's relatively soon, so we'll see how it plays. Trump is one-of-kind in the worst sense of the term. He's adequately putrid to do something that crazy, so hold the LOLs for later.
And fwiw, I'm not sure how the institutions inside and outside of government will react if it happens either. Institutions consist of human beings who, being flawed by nature, are intrinsically unpredictable in FOAK situations.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
