Why Trump's Desperate To Remain In Office

There are some reasons put forward as to why Donald Trump is so desperate to cling to his Office but the main one is the loss of protection from legal action he currently receives while he remains President of the United States but come 20th January that all changes and Donald Trump faces lawyers knocking on his door.
First at the door will be the lawyers for Playboy model Karen McDougal and porn actress Stormy Daniels who have both said they had sexual relationships with Trump and had received payments to keep them quiet, ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Trumps former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, has admitted to arranging payments to the women as directed by Trump and Trump is being investigated for falsifying business records related to the payoffs and as a minor crime, if found guilty he could face a year in prison, if he is found to have falsified business records to conceal other crimes, he could face up to 5 years jail-time.
Next up is potential tax and bank fraud, Trump has unsuccessfully tried to block the release of his Tax returns to prosecutors and the investigation into extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization including insurance and bank fraud which could carry a 10 year prison sentence.
The we have the real-estate fraud investigation, Michael Cohen has testified that Trump had inflated the value of his property assets to secure loans and understated them to reduce his taxes, the crime comes with hefty fine and prison time of 2 years if the extent of the fraud is substantial enough.
Still to come is that Trump gained, profited or gained an advantage from holding public office, a big no-no as set out in the US Constitution although that one is expected to be dropped when he leaves the Presidency.
The big one is the multiple sexual misconduct lawsuits, one is an accusation of rape and several sexual assault offences. Trump tried to get the cases dismissed during his presidency stating he is immune to lawsuits as President but that is no loner the case at the end of January as a self confessed sex offender, his boasts about 'grabbing them by the pussy' will feature heavily.
The sixth lawsuit is being offered up by his neice. Mary Trump who accuses Trump and two of his siblings of cheating her out of an inheritance in the family business when her father and the president's older brother died.
Rather than another run at the Presidents job, the next few years trying desperately not to drop the soap in the Prison shower could be his future and it couldn't happen to a nicer man.
