If Donald Trump graciously concedes the US election to Joe Biden, he could set up a rematch in 2024

"Whether the President has identified it or not, the 2020 election result has offered him a significant opportunity.

Far from the widespread repudiation of Trumpism the Democrats had hoped for, the election results increasingly showed the President's ideology was growing, not shrinking in popularity.

While 63 million people had voted for Trump in 2016, his 2020 tally has reached almost 73 million, even as he continues to trail Joe Biden.

The Trump brand is also strong, as Republican tickets with his name at the top outperformed 2018 midterm races where his backers in the Senate and House of Representatives were left to run on their own merits.

The President's tweets in the last day indicate he may be approaching the realisation that he will not be in the White House beyond January 20th."

Trump Will Defect to Russia

Trump is trying to incite rebellion and usurp the Presidency.

Isn't that an act of treason?

Mr O,

Good point: if a person holding a public office, uses that office to subvert the Constitution and incite rebellion, are they guilty of treason ? Or malfeasance ? And/or their estate is liable to financially compensate for any damage that they incite ?

Is capital punishment still the remedy for such treason ?

Joe

While Trump is POTUS treason against the US Government, of which Trump is the major office holder, sounds unconvincing.

But after Biden's Inauguration the floodgates of court cases against Trump may succeed eg. "As of October 2019, a case was pending in the federal courts regarding access to personal tax returns in a criminal case brought against Donald Trump by the New York County District Attorney alleging violations of New York state law.[110]" see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States#Juridical_powers_and_privileges

Trump may need to escape to somewhere without an Extradition Agreement with the US or no easy CIA "Rendition" prospects.

Edward Snowden found refuge in Russia - so might Trump.

Pseudo-mouth,

You ask: "Is capital punishment still the remedy for such treason?"

In Trump's case, one can only hope so.
