Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[LP]

I believe that the POTUS is terrified of being prosecuted and jailed if the Democrats win.  He will do whatever he can to retain power and a cornered rat can be a nasty prospect.

Doubt this will happen, they would be setting a dangerous precedent they all have to live by.

I think the Occam's Razor argument seems more likely. The rumour is Trump is broke, and the debtors are queuing up to take a slice of him at the end of his elected term. He is a narcissistic, and the only way he can maintain his lifestyle is to stay elected. In effect he is buying time by being President!
