Trump loses but refuses to leave? What then?
Me: Realistically I am going to stay in, and try to not catch COVID-19 so my wife does not get it, but I would happily participate in a General Strike.

Why does every side always speculate on this? What happens if Clinton doesn't leave office? What happens if Bush makes himself dictator for life?
If Trump loses the election and refuses to leave the office, I'm pretty sure US Marshals and the Secret Service would summarily pick him up and physically remove him from residence on Jan 20.
I think most Presidents are relieved to finally leave office.

Well, Trump seems to be set on the idea that if he loses it will be because of voter fraud. He also said that he needs a few extra months to make up for the Mueller probe. But on June 12th he did say that he will leave office peacefully if he is not re-elected.
However, I think that Clinton / Bush II, who both won second terms were very low on the "Won't Leave Office" scale where as Trump is a bit higher, and his fans have a bit of a persecution complex.
I think historically Trump ranks 3rd in the "Not going to go" behind Wilson and FDR (if FDR had lived and Wilson would not have been debilitated by a stroke).
Anyway, that is my plan. Since I work from home 90% of the time I will stay home and participate in a General Strike unless the Governor declares my job essential...which it might be.

Luckily he is a bit too lazy to carry them out. I am hoping Biden wont do what the Hillary camp wanted to do and that was punish the Trump voting class by outsourcing jobs and other nonsense. Cuz the Trump After Trump will be full on fascist.

He may be escorted to the gate by the Secret Service and he'll probably try to take some of the heirlooms from the place claiming they were actually his, but he'll leave one way or another. My question is what sort of treatment will he get? He was downright rude to Obama, so I suspect Biden will say something like "Don't let the door bang you on your butt" as Trump leaves.

Do you really think that? And if you do, why? I would really like to know.
