Trump uses this to sow discord: "A correct count is no longer possible" and he calls it

"illegal votes" in his statement. The transition period between the day after the

election and the inauguration of the new president could not mark the end of the fight

for the White House in the US this time, but rather its continuation by other means.

There are many scenarios of how things can go on after the counts have been

completed, but there will probably not be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power,

although it should be a matter of course. Handovers are only loosely regulated in the

USA, so there are many loopholes in the process hinder.

Here are 5 perspectives

Scenario 1 : Trump admits defeat

In this scenario, the President still has a few months to implement his policy. During

this time, he could not only pardon himself and thus try to protect himself from

possible legal prosecution after leaving office. He could also fire other high-ranking

officials, such as the immunologist and chief adviser Anthony Fauci or FBI chief

Christopher Wray, with whom he had been extremely dissatisfied during the election

campaign. In addition, the Trump administration could try to put as many obstacles

as possible in the way of the subsequent administration and destroy numerous

documents.

Scenario 2 : The White House intervenes in the vote count
