EPTI already have low expectations, but please don't kill us all. There is a reason everyone responded to Russia with sanctions and not military intervention.

I'm sure there's a lot of small petty things he can do, but he doesn't have the following to seriously prevent it, least not that I can think of. | ||

What if he calls the election results invalid :| Fun(scary?) to think about. I don't think he'll run for re-election unless he's extremely heavily favored. Will probably save face by saying he only needed 4 years. (Plus the presidency is going to do terrible things to his looks and his health). | ||

(Plus the presidency is going to do terrible things to his looks and his health). His looks can get WORSE? Lord have mercy on us all, the cheeto is gonna get stale. That being said, I disagree, I think he'll DEFINITELY run for reelection, otherwise thats just admitting that he couldn't cut it at as president, I don't think he has it in him to admit hes not fit for the position. I'd rather it that way anyways, I want to see him lose not just step down. | ||

He trademarked Make America Great Again like back in 2012 I think. | ||

I've got citizenship. hopefully won't have to renounce US one Enda will save me (although he needs to work at saving his party cause their popularity fell a bunch) also Trump did say he was going to be the best job creater ever so he probably figures he needs a war to go toe to toe with FDR who had help from a little thing called WW2. (this is a joke) | ||
