  He did try it, and was pretty damn open about it.  He said that he deserved two make up years for the Mueller investigation, that the 2020 election should be delayed due to COVID and the subsequent increase in mail in voting, issued open demands to a plethora of state and federal officials to either overrule or somehow rerun their 2020 election results so that he could win, and sicced a mob on Congress when those attempts failed.
  
  Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy, and after this, we're going to walk down — and I'll be there with you — we're going to walk down, we're going to walk down, any one you want, but I think right here, we're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave Senators and Congressmen and women, and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the Electors who have been lawfully slated

  Honestly a lot of us were worried Trump was going to try this, and maybe he would have had he had an avenue to do so. >

  Well, saying elections should be delayed doesn’t mean he tried, he just complained about it. He is absolutely a piece of shit who talked a lot of talk. We were worried he would actually try to pass some policy because of a “state of emergency” since he had the senate compromised. >
  
  The “state of emergency will be extended for another six months starting from February 1”, the acting president, Myint Swe, was quoted as saying by state media.
  The military would always be the “guardian of the interests of the state and people … under whichever government comes”, he said, according to MRTV.
  To the surprise of absolutely no one, a dictator nobody elected creates excuses to hold onto power. >
