Well, let's see. He could change the constitution. That requires ratification by 3/4 of the states. That's not happening.
Or he's going to ignore the constitution. That seems much more likely.
It also seems almost certain to trigger a civil war.
Currently, Trump is the president. He's even my president. I don't like him much, I think he's making very foolish decisions, but he's my president.
But he's not my king. And if he tries to stay in power in violation of the constitution, he won't be my president, either, because it's the constitution that makes him president. If he's outside that, then he's not the president.
