Poll of the Day > Anyone worried about Trump pulling a President Clark?

(+) Yeah! (+)

In the fourth season of Babylon 5, when it became clear that he was going to lose the Earth Alliance Civil War President Clark ordered the planet's defense grid aimed inward and made ready to fire, which would have destroyed 40% of the Earth's surface.

Trump is an unstable individual and he will still be president until January. Do you think Trump will do something to try to punish those who voted against him, or even the country as a whole?

He's already trying to discredit democracy as a whole, so, yes he's already doing that.

---

Trump himself won't. He cares too much about his image to risk personally losing. He's already working to motivate his supporters into doing it, though, by convincing them that his loss means they need to fight back against the Democrat election thieves by any means necessary.

Bingo. He's a spineless worm but he is happy to watch the world burn from his pedestal knowing it's his fans doing it. He's a reality tv host. He likes chaos. And he doesn't care about the long term consequences of his actions.

Hasn't he been doing that for weeks now? I mean, outside of declaring martial law (which I'm not even sure he can do without Congress), what else can he do? Unless you were expecting nukes? I mean, yeah, he can send those, but I expect someone would override him and stop them... and no even his bodyguards would allow him to do that... how extraordinarily insane would that be?

Inciting violence, attacking constitutional law, inflaming tensions, appealing to mob mentality... isn't it enough? I can't recall a western president or prime minister doing anything like this. Ever... Even Viktor Orban and the likes respect constitutional law and try to follow the rule of law, even while pushing it. Trump is just mad. He has no grasp of the concept of civic responsibility and what being presidential means. Never has a president poured gas into wild fires. How can such thing be considered normal by so many people?

Loved this B5 reference.

Yes he does, the raw amount of lawsuits that are going to come after him after his presidency, that's why he threatened to leave america, because he's going to get sued out of every penny. He's going to run away.

Realistically, the man's 74 and not in great health. I don't think he's going to be around for much by way of "long-term consequences."

---

The only scary thing is that there are people out there who believe crap like this.

We had a good run.

It's time to redraw some borders. Forcing everyone to stay together just because it's tradition is boomer talk. That ship has sailed.

I love how the Democrats have this brilliant scheme to steal the Presidential election, yet they're also apparently stupid enough to forget to try to steal the Senate at the same time?

Trumpers refuse to believe that there are Republicans who specifically didn't vote for him only because they hate him so much.
