The issue is not Trump holding on to power. Chance of that is remote.


The issue is he has now sow enough distrust into the system that any close elections in the future, people will be crying foul (from both sides), removing the legitimacy of whoever got lawfully elected. While I believe the left has exacerbate this issue after the 2016 election it has increased by multiples over the past few months due to the decision of one person. At start of this year, I felt Trump is a middle of road president if he could tone down his rhetoric. With his Covid response, I placed him lower. Now, with him breaking the trust of our election system with no reason other than his pride, depends on how much future harm this does to the country, I think history will place him in the tier with likes of Buchanan and Pierce.
