The allegations of, "voter fraud" are meaningless. Even the majority of Republicans admit that if it can be proven, it will be on far too small a scale to change the result of the election. The Supreme Court isn't getting involved. Trump cannot win.
But can he ensure that Biden still loses?
Trump is still President for two months. Which means he officially still controls the most powerful military on earth. He's already started replacing senior Pentagon officials with men who are loyal to him.

So my question is: can Trump somehow take military action against, say, Iran that escalates into open warfare? Thus leaving Biden with a huge mess to clear up? This is what the Israelis, when discussing their Nuclear weapons, call The Samson Option: if you know you're going to lose, bring down the temple on your enemies' heads and take them with you. Of course, this would incredibly, dangerously, irresponsible and have massive implications on a global scale. But this is Donald J Trump we're talking about...
As far as I know, the entire US political system is set up precisely to limit the power of the POTUS, just in case he does indeed go Full Retard. Does Trump need the permission of the Senate to order military action against a country like Iran? Or should I grab a shovel and start building my fall out shelter now?
