Huffpo's Senior White House Correspondent, S V Date seriously argues that if Trump were elected in 2024 ,he would refuse to leave office because he would face going to jail once he leaves office.

He bolsters his argument quoting other TDS sufferers .

“The signs are all there that he would not leave voluntarily,” said Heather Cox Richardson, a history professor at Boston College. “After all, he did his best to stay in office in 2021, sparking an insurrection to do it, and he has vowed to use the power of the presidency more forcefully in a possible second term.”

“If Trump gets reelected, all bets are off on the Constitution surviving the tests he’ll throw at it,” he said. “His movement would support anything he tries, regardless of constitutional provisions.”

“Trump is so unpredictable that anything could happen. Literally anything,” said GOP pollster Frank Luntz, who added that Trump’s hold on his base of supporters today is “even stronger and more intense” than it was in 2016.

Why Would Trump Leave Office After A Second Term If Prison Awaits? Experts Fear He Won’t. | HuffPost Latest News

Evidently the Constitutional limitations of 2 terms would be no restraint for the man hell bent on 'Making Fascism Great Again'

But such a process- and rules-oriented faith in the “system” is misplaced when it comes to Trump, say those warning about a second term, because he’s shown that he doesn’t care about norms, rules or laws.

“If Donald Trump is elected president in 2024, there is literally no predicting the future of representative democracy in America. The one thing we can be sure of, if past is prologue, is that there is no length to which he would not go to remain in power, including attempting to delay or cancel the 2028 election altogether,” said Mac Stipanovich, a longtime Republican consultant in Florida. “The man is a no-kidding existential menace to the republic.”
