I suspect he would if he could, but I also suspect that Trump will do whatever he can to secure his dictatorship and prevent Biden from ever becoming President.

And the American people? Hard to say, but I imagine that most Romans just stood by and hoped for the best as they watched their republic turn into an Imperial dictatorship. If the crisis that precipitates the change is bad enough, most people are hesitant to rock the boat.
