After 3 more years Trump will have to remain president ... [View all]

For his own safety.

He will have committed so many international crimes and be hated by so much of the world that he would be in constant danger.

While he’s president he can wield the military against anyone that opposes him but as an ordinary citizen he loses that power.

They have 3 more years to reconfigure the government so he can remain in power and I’ll bet many are hard at work on it right now.
