His refusal to admit defeat is detrimental to American democracy

3 possible scenarios for Donald Trump

President Donald Trump puts the United States in an unprecedented and alarming position, after losing the election.

Here are three possible scenarios for the future situation:

First scenario:

Trump is trying to nullify the results of a freely conducted election.

He told us several times before the election that if he lost, he would declare it rigged.

And he's sure the Senate will shift the critical swing vote, to the Supreme Court.

Once he lost, he put his plan into action.

Next, right-wing media was pressured to exaggerate the lie, and then repeated by Republican Party members.

Then the lawyers were sent to collect stories of fraud.

Although there is no single story, that does not matter.

Meanwhile, the Republicans are being pressed in the provinces and states to cancel the fair counting processes.

Second scenario:

Trump knows he lost and should leave office on Jan.20, but he is working to make it impossible for Biden to rule, as he prepares for his political and financial comeback.

In this scenario, the big lie is not a means to cancel the election, but a ploy to convince as many of Trump's 73 million voters as possible that Biden is not a legally-elected president.

They, in turn, will pressure Republicans in Congress to block Biden's efforts to heal the rift and get the tasks done.

After he leaves office, Trump will fuel resentment to raise money to support new companies and pay off old debts.

The "stolen elections" will be the lost cause that he will make up for by running for the presidency again in 2024.

Third scenario:

Trump does not have a plan, but he angrily and disbelieves that he could have lost the election.

In this scenario, the Pentagon purge is settling scores against people the president resents, and there are frantic efforts to declassify the intelligence that Trump believes will shine his image.

Lawsuits, in electoral conflict areas, are pitiful efforts to soothe a wounded ego, and they are being pursued by second-class lawyers, with no hope of success.

Of course, the three scenarios may be less conflicting than they appear.

And now, after Trump has lost decisively, he may make coup moves.

Why don't you try?

And he might do it with a more angry improvisation than a careful thought.

One thing is certain: Trump's refusal to acknowledge his defeat harms American democracy.
