Growing Number Fear Trump Won’t Leave Office

Washington Post: “Trump’s suggestion came as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) also raised concerns about the president potentially refusing to accept the legitimacy of a Democratic victory in the 2020 presidential election — saying it was important that Democrats win ‘big’ to protect the country from such an outcome.”

“The remarks underscore real anxiety within factions of the country that Trump — who repeatedly complained about a ‘rigged’ election in 2016 — may decide to contest the legitimacy of the election in 2020 if he is defeated or otherwise argue for an extended time in office. … White House aides and other friends say they have not heard Trump privately discuss the possibility of an extended term — often an early warning sign he is seriously entertaining a controversial action.”
