Putin had also prepared for it and the trolls were going to push some conspiracy about how she stole the election. Same as they claimed she did in the primary.

Trump blames too many people voting and his campaign manager....because he is without fault.

Whoever his campaign manager is at the time (maybe no longer Parscale at that point, but he'll name Parscale and all other current and former campaign leadership in the suit for good measure), the DNC, the RNC, his own super PACs, various election committees, Joe Biden. You know, the typical Trump, blame everyone, sue everyone, whiny, crybaby, bullshit.

all "fake" election results be thrown out by the courts, and recounts started immediately. His goal will be to create the appearance of a grassroots insurrection, led by his outraged supporters. It will make the recent reopening "protests" seem tame in comparison.

In response, he'll call out the national guard to maintain order, then declare a national emergency. Chaos will ensue. In the confusion he'll go on television to announce only he can fix things, and he must remain in power to ensure order and stop the carnage.

Mitch McConnell, deeply involved in his own state's recount, will back Trump's play, as will all the other Republicans in the Senate. FOX News and an army of rightwing radio talkers will go on full alert, broadcasting 24/7 for the duration.

Sweet Lyndsey Graham, reeling from his electoral drubbing in South Carolina, will take to the fainting couch, smelling salts in hand. And Susan Collins, fresh off her own loss, will express her deepest concern.

will suddenly discover their backbone and turn on him out of self-preservation. They won’t have developed ethics or a conscience, but it might appear that way superficially; in reality, they will just know that Trump’s departure is happening regardless of what sort of a scene they make and won’t want to be hitched to a loser. They might even figure that invoking the 25th amendment will look good to the electorate next time around.
