One, it would require the military and Secret Service to back him up. Second, Congress wouldnt be on board. Third, as awful as his Cabinet and WH staff is, I cannot imagine many would be on-board. Finally, there are 350 million of us. We would storm the WH. Few of us would obey the orders of a dictator.

A guy cant just declare himself a dictator of 350 million citizens without A LOT of people helping him. This guy doesnt have them. Jell, Obama, as popular as he was, couldnt have done it either!

Samething with the people saying he might refuse to leave office if he's defeated. So what! On noon June 20, 2021, he's no longer president, even if he handcuffs himself to the presidential desk and conducts an armed standodd with law enforcement. There's nothing he can do to extend his term.
