Trump is Running to Stay Out of Prison

A general overview, with 11 days until the 2024 election

In October 2020, a month before the U.S. election, I wrote a seven-part series about the likelihood that Trump might not leave office peacefully.

What you’re reading right now is an updated version for the situation in 2024. This time, there’s just this one story right here, not seven, and I can do it in less than seven minutes.

What Trump planned in 2020

Back then, in 2020, I said that Trump’s intended strategies included:

• Delaying the election
• Taking a running start, months in advance, to normalize his allegation that the election was fraudulent
• Suppressing the vote
• Telling his supporters to vote twice (once in-person, once by mail)
• Requiring in-person voting (despite the pandemic)
• Sending agents from Homeland Security to monitor polling places, contrary to federal law
• Recruiting volunteer poll monitors in contested states
• Not counting all the votes
• Not conceding his loss
