It'll be fine.  The world isn't going to end and that Trump has no interest in remaining President after 4 years.  Heck, he only ran to prove a point that he is a winner.  He'd rather be spending the next 4 years on the golf course rather than the Whitehouse.  But, he didn't want to go out a loser, especially when the nature of the loss was questionable.

Enjoy the next 4 years.  Just remember, if Harris won, the country would be transitioning to California.  Do you really want THAT!

I agree. He's not going to personally remain President.  He will let his second term end normally as long as is alive at the time (and I pray he's not assassinated, by the way. And if he died naturally it wouldn't change things at this point).

My concern is that he will be motivated by hate or vanity to try to set things up in a way that Republicans can never lose again.  I'm not talking about filibusters or supreme court seats. Those are the kinds of rules changes that the competition can adjust to.  I'm talking about lawfare, precisely what Putin uses to stay in power, and precisely what he accused the Dems of trying.  He will try to retaliate against what NY did to him, and he should, but it should stop there.  The next generation of politicians need to be allowed to compete without threats from the current DoJ.  Don't just pass the torch. Pass all of the torches.
