Media Narratives on Trump's Refusal to Leave Office
A recurring media theme suggests that Donald Trump may refuse to leave office if he is defeated in 2020 or impeached. Figures like Donny Deutch on MSNBC have speculated that Trump might incite his "30%" base to take to the streets, potentially starting a civil war. This narrative is dismissed as a recycled political trope previously applied to George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
