U.S. President Donald Trumps former attorney Michael Cohen said during his congressional testimony on Wednesday that he fears Trump will not allow his successor to peacefully take control of the White House if he loses the 2020 presidential election.
Given my experience working for Mr. Trump, I fear that if he loses the election in 2020, there will never be a peaceful transition of power, Cohen said during his closing remarks before the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee.

And I think Cohen gives us fair warning. He knows tRump very well and what he is capable of doing. So we would be wise to heed his words.

But no. If nothing else does, that would land Trump right in jail. There may be some scattered MAGA attacks, but that's it.
Trump is above all, a coward.
