[ExI] Am I the only one freaked out by this?

Yesterday Trump said he
believed
 3 to 5 million people voted illegally even though there is no evidence
that 
even 3 to 5 hundred did.  And today Trump's mouthpiece Sean Spicer doubled
down on that ridiculous claim saying his boss had read "studies" proving it
was true, when asked what study reached that conclusion Spicer said one by
Pew Research, but the author of that study, David Bechker, flat out says
that isn't true and they didn't reach
such a
 conclusion or anything close to it. That and the memory of what candidate
Trump said about the 2016 election, that he would respect the outcome only
if he won, gives me

heebie jeebies

 when I think about what President Trump will do in 2020.

Imagine
 what Commander In Chief Trump will do if he wins the popular vote by 2.9
million
as Hillary did

but looses the Electoral College vote, I think he
would 
claim the election was fraudulent and his opponent,

whoever he or she may be, is a crook
and
 should not have
even 
been "allowed" to run for president
,
so he will order the army into the streets and will
try to 
remain in power. In fact I think he will do that in 2020 even if his
opponent wins bot
h
the popular
vote 
and
the 
electoral vote in a landslide. But, I hear you say, the military would
never go along with such treason
 and
 maybe you're right,
 but think about all the ex-generals
Trump has
 already loaded into his cabinet, and every day there will be more
pro-Trump Colonels and Generals and fewer anti-Trump
 ones
. Even if the anti-Trump forces prove to be stronger in the end it will be
a hellish situation
.
I just can't see a happy ending
 to the Trump catastrophe.
