Will Trump relinquish power peacefully? Not if he can avoid it [View all]

You can be one hundred percent certain that Trump will legally challenge any legal mandate to end his grip on the presidency short of at least eight years. That combined with even random acts of violence by his supporters could make for very tense days.

It also bears noting that any legal challenge Trump might mount to being removed from office would almost certainly end up in the Supreme Court. It’s a court that could opt for a redux of Bush v. Gore, regardless of the merits.
