This is sort of bothering me.  What if 4 years from now Trump runs again for President and loses then refuses to vacate the office claiming the election is illegitimate and he will not recognize the results?  How do you make him leave?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I do not anticipate that being a serious problem. It is not like he is a ninja or something.

That essentially is a coup d'etat.  The question is whether the various appendages of government would follow Trump's lead or not.  I think they would not.

If he barricades himself in the Oval Office then I guess at some point the Secret Service would physically remove him.

Answer to that is easy: Build a wall around him.

Next President works out the Naval Observatory, and the VP gets Trump Tower.

You'll be really sad.

Will trump run for reelection?

He will be really old, and I'm not sold on him wanting to actually do presidential work. I think he is more in it for the status, and he will have that without reelection.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Trump has refused to recognize all the results of the current election, the one that will bring him into power very soon.  He has tens of millions of followers who believe the bullshit he says, many of whom demonstrate a tendency toward violence. Do you really think law enforcement will just pull him screaming out of the Whitehouse?

Raz, just organize some Social Justice Warriors into formal units and use those to fight Trump and his Trumpenproletariat.

It's never been done before, and the president can't be legally arrested while in office.  The assumption in the constitution is that the President is will leave office voluntarily.

You want me to hang Trump voters?  Like yourself?
