Chilling discussion on Donny Deutch's show tonight...

There was a serious discussion about Trump not leaving the WH if he is voted out of office in 2020. Look at what Trump has actually said at his rallies. Look at what just happened to election security legislation in the Senate --Mitch McConnell just forbade it and it didn't even get discussed. There is a real danger that our outdated voting machines can and will be hacked and our votes stolen from us.

This is scary.

A woman who I did not know about who also agreed with Donny. Some ridiculous "insult dog comedian." No one else I knew.

The show is new but I hope folks are watching. It was scary, esp. as Donny was comparing Trump's tactics with what happened in Nazi Germany and the comparisons were really seriously backed up, not just scary talk. The serious problem with the vulnerability of our voting machines. And Mitch McConnell, the guy who is in this up to his sagging neck...

Frightening.

We the People WILL have the power of the armed forces behind us.

Loud, noisy, and dangerous crap, yes, but he will be OUT.

the U.S., right? I remember a movie about this happening but it is at least 40 years old. I think Kirk Douglas was in it...

Like never before.

I’d be interested in forums in our own communities with their own election officials telling the public home security work so what can be improved immediately

The new Dem President can have him arrested for trespassing if he refuses to leave.

a rigged election and signal his crazy followers to react. Scary thought because I think they’re all capable of running their own revolution. And that McConnell would back him.

Especially if it’s a close election, which is likely, Trump will not step down, he has said as much.
Dems should have impeached the day after the Mueller report came out.
We have a president who has a police force, ICE,that is stopping brown people, demanding to see papers, jailing them without legal representation even if they are Americans . We are living in Nazi Germany.
I just renewed my ACLU membership today, it is leading the fight against Trump.

Says this all the time. On every show he is on. I have to admit its kind of weird that he brings it up so much. Or maybe he just likes to use it for ratings. Like another poster said, once he no longer is president, he no longer has power over anyone, including the military. They will be saying “bye felicia” in a second. Other scenarios I can see that are more worrisome...

"It can happen here" but I'd rather have him warn it and for it not to happen than the other way around. If nothing more, we'll be on high alert just in case.

But he is usually doing it surrounded by former trump aides who pump up all thats great about trump. Its the same thing russian trolls do...play both sides till one side (the conservative opinion) wins the argument.

After January 20 he will no longer have any power. He becomes a private citizen. The marshals and military will have a new boss. I think the last helicopter ride is courtesy of the new President. It would be perfectly appropriate to call an Uber and have him driven off, perhaps a bit rude for anyone but tRump.. Anything done for him after January 20 is at the discretion of the new person in office. The nightmare is his winning a second term.
