To the surprise of no one he won't commit to a peaceful transition of power. Him being literally dragged kicking and screaming from his WH bunker would make for some good ratings.

I don't know if using a photo of people with birth defects in order to liken them to Trump supporters is a brilliant idea. Firstly, those two South Africans are not Trump supporters. Secondly, hardly any Trump supporters actually support Trump on account of birth defects.
About those twins:
The twins who are only identified as Casie and Driesie were put in a home for mentally challenged individuals, in a small center in North West South Africa. Casie and Driesie were born in a place called Outjo, present-day Namibia, but moved to Wolmaransstad alongside their mother. They later returned to Namibia after their mother died, and stayed with their brother and his wife. Then they were put in the nursing home because their relatives could not provide proper attention as the twins needed special care.
Casie and Driesie, the twins, were mutes, with the mental capacity of five-year-olds, according to a psychiatric assessment record. The twins could not hold their saliva, and therefore drooled uncontrollably, and had to dry their chins with handkerchiefs they always carried in their hands. While they looked ‘unpleasant’ they won somehow managed to win the hearts of the staff at the nursing home they took residence in. They were free-spirited and could hug everyone that they came across, including the nurses. Casie and Driesie were so jovial and could laugh all the time. Since they could not communicate with words, they used grunts to try and pass a message to someone.
Nevertheless, Casie and Driesie were skillful and could help around the nursing home. “Driesie spends most days knitting and Casie mostly sweeps in front of the stoep,” the manager of the home the twins stayed reported. “And on days when they just want to sit around, they just sit around.” It seemed the twins had a great bond between them, after all, they had lived their entire lives together.
A couple more photos of them, taken by Herman Verwey when they were 53 years old.

...
The worst case, however, is not that Trump rejects the election outcome. The worst case is that he uses his power to prevent a decisive outcome against him. If Trump sheds all restraint, and if his Republican allies play the parts he assigns them, he could obstruct the emergence of a legally unambiguous victory for Biden in the Electoral College and then in Congress. He could prevent the formation of consensus about whether there is any outcome at all. He could seize on that uncertainty to hold on to power.
Trump’s state and national legal teams are already laying the groundwork for postelection maneuvers that would circumvent the results of the vote count in battleground states. Ambiguities in the Constitution and logic bombs in the Electoral Count Act make it possible to extend the dispute all the way to Inauguration Day, which would bring the nation to a precipice. The Twentieth Amendment is crystal clear that the president’s term in office “shall end” at noon on January 20, but two men could show up to be sworn in. One of them would arrive with all the tools and power of the presidency already in hand.
“We are not prepared for this at all,” Julian Zelizer, a Princeton professor of history and public affairs, told me. “We talk about it, some worry about it, and we imagine what it would be. But few people have actual answers to what happens if the machinery of democracy is used to prevent a legitimate resolution to the election.”

While those are legitimate concerns, it seems odd to talk about an election that breaks America in the future tense.

the swamp republicans, are stealing this election by oppressing voters. they have a history of this. time for the UN to send in election observers at every poll station? its the norm with rogue states, which America has become, thanks to the republican party. How any free thinking person involved in this party can stay, with a clear concience is a mystery. They should resign, now, stop this comedy show. Its costing American lives.

Over 860,000 Americans Have Already Voted, Compared to Fewer Than 10,000 by This Point in 2016
https://www.newsweek.com/over-860000-am ... 16-1534452
It's looking more and more like Trump's days are numbered.
Not gonna get too excited though.

I'm sticking to the idea, more now than ever, that if Trump's head opens up and aliens fly out, I should have expected it. This is bizarro world, Idiocracy incarnate. Anti-science, anti-truth, anti-objective reality, is a pandemic spread a lot wider than covid-19. It's not looking too good right now, no matter the outcome of the election.
Even if Biden wins and things go back to some semblance of normal, I wouldn't expect any criminally negligent, or just plain criminal politicians to face justice for pretty much anything. There will be arrests around the periphery to placate the masses, who are rabid for legal recourse against the assault on democracy, public health, the environment, the economy for non-tycoons, and I could go on, but I'll leave the rest to people smarter than me.
Hopefully I'm wrong about all of it, and it's not so bleak.

I fear that too. Absolutely no repercussions. And Trump walking away with a shit-eating grin stirring the pot in the background and inciting his dangerous cultists. Trying to erode confidence in the government even further from the sidelines more unfettered than ever. He and his family making a fortune off them through all types of merch and propoganda. Maybe he'll even create that Trump TV that he was rumoured to make. He'll be like Rush Linbaugh x10.

Hanging chads have nothing on this one. It’s a Supreme Court challenge in the making. GOP is saying “bring it on!”
For better or for worse (usually for worse) at least the GOP learn from the past. The Dems could take a point or two from them.
