In the UK if a PM loses the election they're gone, typically within hours of the counting.
In the USA a President who loses the election remains in office for a couple of months until inauguration day for the next President. Trump won't just "step down" in November if he loses, but nor would any other President.
This is a good illustration of why 90% of you analyses are wrong. You think you know what people are saying while plugging your ears chanting "nah nah nah nah nah".

If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?
How am I wrong? And I know what you said, even if you meant something else.
The POTUS doesn't "step down" if they lose the election, they stay in place until inauguration day. If there were to be SCOTUS cases related to the election (like in Bush v Gore) they would all be resolved before inauguration day and wouldn't postpone inauguration day.
Do you even understand that 'analyses' is plural for 'analysis'? Do you really want me to go over every analysis you have ever made and explain to you the wrongness of 90% of them? You can just bugger right off you can. I will tell something they all have in common, you think you know what they said.

To go against what I've been saying for a while, that Trump won't go peacefully, I could totally see him stepping down as a last resort so Pence can pardon him and the entire shit show he brought into office.
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
It's quite possible he could pardon himself. But only for federal crimes.
Hope is the denial of reality
Why get so bent with semantics? You know what is meant by 'step down.' Leave office. Acknowledge defeat. Whatever. Don't you feel a waste of energy to argue things like this? It's like policing spelling in texts or IM. What's the point? Sometimes I find you very reasonable. Other times, you seem so loony.

As someone that swims in the IT world...I prefer some accuracy in conversation.

Because the semantics matter.
If Trump loses then a new President will be inaugurated come inauguration day, to suggest that Trump can say otherwise is absurd.
I wish you were right. I SO wish you were right. But he will claim fraud and that he actually won and so HE should be inaugurated. He'll ask the supreme court or the senate or the Justice Department to investigate WHILE PLANNING HIS OWN INAUGURATION. Semantics have nothing to do with it and don't matter. He won't leave office willingly. He won't concede defeat. We won't step down. He won't let himself be removed. Whateverthefuck you want to call it. It's going to happen.
