He is right. In his own mind, Trump is convinced that he isn't leaving. He and his evil henchmen have been gaming how to stay in power for months now. Trump understood that the first step was to undermine trust in the upcoming election. Then, if you lose, call the election a fraud. Then file lots of suits and whip up your supporters into a frenzy. Demand Republican state election officials overturn the results and either send Trump electors, or send no electors. If that doesn't work, create riots in the streets and call in the military to "put down a coup" by the other side.
In Trump's mind, this all makes sense. It may not come to pass, but that depends 100% on the Republicans growing a spine. All that matters is power to fuckheads like Evil Mitch. Just like Erdogan said, "Democracy is like a train: when you reach your destination, you get off" . Trump's goal is to be dictator for life, and 10s of millions will cheer for it to happen.
Pretty sure the plan is: Get the secret service to escort him off the premises. They're pretty good at removing trespassers.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
