Trump told us EXACTLY how he plans to take over the presidency for another 4 years last night

Knowing full well that he can't and won't win this election fairly and squarely, he intends to take it to the Supreme Court and allow them to usurp the power of the people and deem the irregularities in the vote to have negated the election. He intends to be INSTALLED for a second term.

He was quite clear about this. With all the attention on his disruptive behavior and his call-out to the white supremacists, this seems to have been given short shrift. In the end, it may be the news byte we are doomed to see over and over again as the death knell of our democracy. We can only hope that there are sufficient means to stop him from what he has spent a lifetime doing: exploiting the shortcomings of our judicial branch to win by fiat what he couldn't accomplish legitimately.

Assuming he's slapped down and told no, it seems almost inevitable he'll destroy the country (if not the planet) on the way out.

[Yes, the vote against traitortrump needs to be overwhelming. However, SCOTUS must be dealt with].
