Don't trust Trumps COVID-19 disease stats

Such, if he doesnt win this election we know he is out.

According to some who know Trump at the personal level, including Michael Cohen ("Trump's fixer"), I wouldn't be betting the house on that if I was you.

As evidence for my position, Coronavirus data has already disappeared after Trump administration shifted control from CDC -

Yes it was restored after people complained but my concern is echoed in more polite language as noted in that piece:

Public health specialists and former health officials acknowledged that the CDC's data reporting infrastructure was limited, and said it needs to be overhauled to meet the demands of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, they expressed concern in interviews with CNBC that the change could lead to less transparent data.

I won't bet that he'll leave willingly or easily but I would bet that he'll be out one way or another.

If I had to put my money on this, I would bet that you are correct-- but not to the point of betting the house!

The process will clear him out of the way. The "transition of power" is really just pomp and circumstance, a ritual that is as legally required as the phrase "so help me god." It happens whether or not Trump wants it to.

I could only get through about 20 before I started to get nauseous.

Presumably that's why he paid someone to sit for his entrance exam, and I wonder if he's ever actually read a book.
