If COVID-19 continues, could you see Trump deciding to cancel the presidential elections in November and deciding to remain president for another term?

Like Putin does…

Yes, of course. And the Republican toady fucks on Fox News will be saying what a hero he is.

Sure. He’s established a pattern of saying whatever he likes. I expect he’d be willing to do quite a lot.

He might try.

I think we will be past the worst by November.

States could switch to all mail-in or drop off ballots so people interact less.

Nope…I don’t see it. If we were in the midst of something killing people on the magnitude of the Black Plague and going out in public is not acceptable in November, I can easily picture a delay in the election, though it would be a completely bi-partisan agreement. Face it folks, Trump does not have the kind of power you all seem to think he does.

Of course, he doesn’t have the power to do that. If he tried, the supreme court and the congress would sent federal marshals and the Secret Service into the White House and have him arrested.

And Putin is trying but has almost the same obstacles Trump would face.

Putin is in much worse shape than us due to the already great profusion of other communicable diseases and a crippling antiquated under resourced public health sector.

Shit, I’m still waiting for Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama to cancel their elections.

He should tweet something to that effect on April fool’s day.
