What if Donald Trump loses the election
It is still unclear who will win the US presidential election in November. What could happen if Donald Trump was voted out of office.
Washington - It is November 03, 2020. The US has voted. Joe Biden is the 46th President-elect of the United States of America. Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina - all of the major "swing states" go to Donald Trump's challenger. This is already clear on the evening of election day, long before the postal votes are counted, and with a clarity that makes legal haggling and recounts unnecessary. Even Fox News congratulates Biden on the win.
But what does the defeat of Donald Trump mean? What is the Republican Party doing now? What will become of the country and what will happen to the Trump family? A little outlook into the future:
Donald Trump: What Are Republicans Doing After His Defeat?
After his defeat, there is pure chaos in Donald Trump's party. For years, almost all Republican MPs in the Senate and House of Representatives outbid each other in their loyalty to Donald Trump. Always hoping for a mention of Trump in a tweet to his 84 million followers, many of them hardcore fans who only make their voice dependent on what Trump tweets about the respective candidate. In many places, the favor of the US president decided on victory or defeat.
But now for the Republican officials from the back ranks: create as much distance as possible from Donald Trump as quickly as possible. Twitter feeds are scanned in a panic by employees and all mentions of @realdonaldtrump are deleted. Statements spread that it was always about the good of the party, that one was misunderstood or quoted.
Donald Trump: The Republicans are already distancing themselves
The escape movement has already started. Because 2020 will not only vote on the US President, all 435 seats in the US House of Representatives will also be available for election. Donald Trump's miserable poll numbers are already causing absurd U-turns in the primaries.
For example in Texas: Sheriff Troy Nehls prevailed in one of the constituencies of Houston, the capital Texas, in the primary elections against Pierce Bush, grandson of former President George H.W. Bush and nephew of the other, former President George W. Bush. In the election campaign of the last two years, Nehls presented himself as a staunch Trump supporter. Now, shortly before the final decision on who can run for the Republicans, all references to Donald Trump from Nehl's website have disappeared. The US President is no longer mentioned there.
Donald Trump loses and the power struggle breaks out among the Republicans
At the top of the Republican party, the Diadoch Wars start after Donald Trump is voted out of office. Alliances are forged, broken, and re-formed. This should especially apply to the House of Representatives should the Republicans fail to win back the majority there. Because in the opposition there are hardly any reasons for a ceasefire and plenty for an attack on the top.
According to the US magazine "Politico", the power struggle at the top of the Republican party has long since begun. "If Donald Trump loses and we are in the minority, there will be a crazy mess at the top," "Politico" quotes an unnamed Republican MP. "There will be a real fight."
The future of Kevin McCarthy, whom Donald Trump likes to call "my Kevin", Steve Scalise and Liz Cheney is more than uncertain. The first two drive the strategy of closest possible proximity to Donald Trump. Cheney distances himself from the president. In turn, Trump confidants like Matt Gaetz are now publicly accusing them. “It's getting dirty,” predicts another unnamed Republican.
Donald Trump: What will happen to the US after the election defeat?
The country remains divided. Joe Biden, the personified lowest common denominator, is not the right person to bring society together. The republicans are too averse to Barack Obama's former ally. And there is too little enthusiasm in our own ranks for the candidate, who will turn 78 on November 20th and who, after 50 years of political work, is barely able to represent the future of the Democrats.
That makes his vice-president all the more important. Because of Biden's age and health, which gives rise to wild speculation, her role will be far more important than that of Donald Trump's Greetings-August Mike Pence. Perhaps she will be able to treat the deep wounds of the United States.
After Donald Trump was voted out of office: what will happen to the family?
For the Trumps, the patriarch's defeat marks the early end of the dream of a Kennedy-Bush-style dynasty. But nothing more will come of it. Donald Trump simply left too much scorched earth for the party to nominate another Trump in the near future. Still, life goes on for the many Trumps like this:
Ivanka Trump: Donald's favorite daughter withdraws completely. Her husband Jared Kushner has to go to jail for some windy financial story, like his father before him. Mainly because his father-in-law Donald Trump can no longer protect him.
Donald Trump Jr .: The eldest son of the ex-president first falls into a deep emotional hole, from which he only finds his way out because of his love for camouflage clothing and automatic weapons. He joins a large game hunting community militia in Michigan and from then on only wears camouflage. His girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, is leaving Donald Junior, who will only reappear in the media after he has shot himself in the foot again.
Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump: What Are Eric and Tiffany Up To? Nobody really knows because nobody cares. The fact that Donald Trump is voted out of office will not change that.
Melania Trump and her son Barron: The two are going back to New York. Melania Trump files for divorce and collects again properly. Barron Trump continues to stay away from the public. But 25 years later he reappears. As the youngest presidential candidate in US history, he runs for the Democrats in the spiritual legacy of Bernie Sanders. Provided there is something to the rumors.
And Donald Trump? He will immediately acknowledge the defeat because Joe Biden over the phone offers him a pardon for all crimes during his tenure. Then Trump ducks his head, emigrates to North Korea and lets Kim Jong Un stay there for the next few years together with Denis Rodman.
But above all, he will wait for the next chance. "When times are bad enough, I get whatever I want," Donald Trump said in one of his very first interviews in the 1970s. (By Daniel Dillmann)
