Opinion: Will Trump Go, If He Loses?, By Azu Ishiekwene

Whatever he is up to this time, the world can almost be sure that this president won’t go away, quietly. “Loser Trump” are strange words in Trumpistan… Vigilance and citizen firewall are key. This president might just have something bigly up his sleeves.

The tide might yet change. As it stands today, however, things are not going well for Trump’s reelection dream – and the problems have been largely self-inflicted. With the U.S. presidential election only four months away, “loser”, reckoned by some as one of Trump’s most frequently used 20 words, may be coming back to haunt him. And from the auguries, it’s not if the word would come to haunt him, but how Trump would take the aftermath that has sent tongues wagging.

Even though the Federal Bureau of Investigations ’s James Comey fatally wounded Clinton by flip-flopping over her email server problem, Trump still feared that the “system” was rigged against him by “crooked Hillary” and her gang, especially the mainstream media. In spite of Trump’s gratuitous silence, however, the ghost of the systemic rigging which he complained about came to haunt him in form of allegations that Russian hackers had, in fact, rigged the election for him.

I don’t think anyone ever asked any presidential candidate in the U.S. such a question before. It’s the type of question reserved by U.S. journalists for politicians in banana republics where the only thing that is certain is that elections deliver results written by incumbents, who out of benevolence or for window-dressing occasionally allow opposition candidates to run.

If that sounded like an adversary’s fantasy, then you missed the article last week by Timothy E. Wirth and Tom Rogers, entitled,The article highlights two major pathways by which Trump could obstruct the outcome of the election or the transition, if he loses.
