Thank you for framing it this way! I keep saying this exact same thing to friends: Trump is TERRIFIED of leaving office because he knows once he's out of the White House he loses the veneer of Presidential impunity; and the SDNY indicts him. So he CAN'T leave office. And he's getting ready to pull ALL the stops out.
This is a (hopefully insane) take on what happens in November, written back before Covid. You might find it interesting!
