I think it's pretty certain that Trump will leave the WH or be escorted therefrom if he clearly loses the election.
Two wrinkles occur to me: * Trump's sabotage strategy may prove effective, in which case it will be the Democrats who reject the result, backed by the testimony of international observers. Then what? * If Trump fails to sabotage the election sufficiently for his purposes, the likeliest thing by far is that the Biden-Rahm Emanuel team (yay team), will try to offer him some sort of immunity from prosecution or an outright amnesty in exchange for going quietly. I think, under the right circumstance, that Trump would go for that--all the time proclaiming his wounded innocence. The scope of a presidential pardon has in the past been limited to actual convictions or, eg in the case of Nixon, criminal proceedings actually under way at the time of the pardon. I'm sure that Biden, being the lying weasel that he is, would find a way to broaden that to all future crimes or criminal proceedings whatever. This might raise the entertaining spectacle of the Biden WH fighting prosecutors in New York or elsewhere on behalf of Trump, in case they file new charges under a new investigation.
