I think it's that Trump only plays the cards he needs to, when he needs to. It means he could have played this card (and the many, many others) before now. But he didnt need to.
Even this, is convincing people he will play the card, so hopefully they will cave behind the scenes.
Most likely, there will be a deal made behind the scenes. Trump will remain president. Some public cover story will be presented and accepted by all the media, eg,, "contested election," which they would not allow unless a deal was already made. Then they can complain for the next 4 years about it. And yet, Trump will be president. Or some other covid story. Maybe COVID something. It's not healthy to have all this turn over at the white house during a covid outbreak, so we're leaving Trump in there. Something.
