For those worried about a Trumptastrophe, just remember one thing

We've been through this before. During Bush's time in office the GOP held all three branches of government AND we were at war. There were people on the left who fretted over Bush simply refusing to step down, but he did. The same worries were floated about Bill Clinton. I'm not worried.


In fact I'm even less worried about Trump, because (as we learned in the primary) a significant portion of his own party can't stand him.

Trump is not Bush or Clinton.

That others had the opportunity to do the wrong thing and didn't take it is no guarantee that nobody ever will.

Lots of bank managers don't steal the money that they hold in trust. Does that mean that it is OK to hire a known thief to manage a bank?

Trump is a narcissist, a megalomaniac, a demagogue, and believes that the rules are for the little people.

Why would he pass power to a successor? He believes that he is the only person who is good enough to hold it.

Well, for one - it's actual work. He hasn't realized that yet but he will, and then he'll want to get back to selling shonky products. He's got plenty of Bruti around to make him cede power if it comes to it.
