With a vengeful and angry president, the next few weeks could be the most dangerous in modern American history, according to various experts.
Trump will spend his final days in the White House destroying America, claims author Malcolm Nance.
– Like a naughty boy with a mallet in a crockery shop, he tells The Guardian.
Part of the chaos that will follow the electoral defeat of Donald Trump is already known.
The United States has abandoned the climate agreement. The corona pandemic, which killed nearly a quarter of a million Americans, is likely to get worse. Trump has indicated that he will fire Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading expert on viral diseases.
Defense Minister Mark Esper has already been fired.
Trump also recently fired Michael Kuperberg, head of the U.S. Global Change Research Program and head of the national climate assessment.
Kuperberg was later replaced by climate denier David Legates.

Author Malcolm Nance claims that Trump will spend his last days as president destroying America.
“A crowded autocrat”
But according to various experts, it can get even more chaotic and dangerous in the next 10 weeks. That’s the time left until the election winner, Joe Biden, takes office as the country’s 46th president.
Trump has yet to abandon foreign policy, the budget and several other crucial issues, but he continues to work as if he had won the election.
The Guardian interviewed Malcolm Nance, an author and intelligence expert, a few weeks ago before the election was decided.
He then spoke about a possible electoral defeat for Trump, something that is a reality today.
– We will probably see the biggest political rage in history. You can decide that you want to leave with force, you can decide that you will not accept the result of the elections. Who knows what a crowded autocrat will do?
“He will forgive himself”
Malcolm Nance tells The Guardian that he bases much of his fears on the past actions of Donald Trump.
For example, the mismanagement of the corona pandemic.
Nance and other experts have also discussed whether Donald Trump will try to forgive himself. He is a crime suspect in New York State, but has not previously been heard or prosecuted.
– He will definitely forgive himself. There is no doubt about that. He hopes the Supreme Court will back him up. He has always fixed things in his life and now believes he owns the American legal system, says Nance.
More political action on climate, pandemics, and other things may well be imminent. But something many fear is that Trump, after the electoral defeat, will stop focusing on political issues and instead spend more time on himself and his own position.
Can be violent
Malcolm Nance fears that armed militias, white power groups and other activists could cause chaos, backed by President Donald Trump.
Other experts agree.
“Trump is likely to spend his final months making selfish decisions, forgiving and trying to discredit his opponents and the system,” Garri Kasparov, a former chess master and now president of the Human Rights Foundation, told CNN.
Kasparov says that Americans who want the rule of law to be restored and strengthened “must be prepared to fight for it.” Both in court and elsewhere if necessary.
– Because there is no doubt that Trump and his followers will not walk away in silence.

Foreign policy and budget
America’s foreign policy also runs the risk of ending up in chaos during Trump’s final weeks.
According to Israeli sources to the Axios news site, Trump plans, along with Israel and several Gulf states, to impose a wide range of new sanctions on Iran.
The goal, according to information from Axio, is to implement them before January 20, 2021 when the new president takes office.
Even when it comes to next year’s budget, Trump behaves as if he has won the election. According to the Washington Post, he has instructed federal authorities to continue preparations for the budget to be adopted in February next year, two weeks after Joe Biden took office.
Trump’s decision to continue working on the 2022 budget has surprised many employees, according to the Washington Post.
