Yeah, sure, Junior... now, go bother the other grownups for a while, eh?
C'mon, now, Pogo... that's about the worst long-reach I've seen you make, to try (and fail) to establish a segue, in quite some time. Having an off day?
Your question only works if the underlying premise (above) works... trouble is, it does not.
Whelp --- it's worked for close to 2 and a half centuries. Started out as a rejection of the idea of Aristocracy, so I guess it's fitting that the self-styled king of aristocracy is the guy who wants to dismantle it.

Right, that's silly. It's not logical like you are when you vote for a limousine liberal who's owned by Wall Street to dismantle corporate control of government. Now that just makes sense

Jewish Leaders Opposing Trump’s Rhetoric Plan Boycott Of His AIPAC Speech
Jewish concerns about Trump’s candidacy are not limited to his hateful rhetoric. Jews are concerned about the anti-Semitism common among Trump surrogates and supporters.…
I'm curious why leftists still repeat that lie. Even if you ignore they didn't do anything but stop the Florida court from ignoring Florida law, the media who completed the recount anyway declared W the winner. So how was he "installed" even in your bigoted mind?

Promising riots?
Funny stuff, that.
Trump was asked what happens if the GOP convention turns into a brokered one.
The guy replies with words to the effect: "...If I've got the delegates, or I'm close, like, 1100 or more, I'm the nominee. If not, I dunno, there could be riots..."
Could be.
Meaning that The People - deprived of their choice by the Establishment Ruling Elites - could rise against their political masters, if their choice is stolen out from under them.
It was a measured and factual recital, and contained no threat... neither in word nor tone nor implication.
But, in the media feeding frenzy underway at the behest of the Corporatists and Ruling Elites who now control the GOP, not to mention that segment of the Fourth Estate which is controlled by Liberal interests rather than Rightist ones, that measured and factual recital became a looming threat, to mix into the Kool-Aid being fed the American People.
Trump has several great ideas, but he seems to be an asshole, will never be able to execute those ideas, and is, generally speaking, apparently unfit to be President.
That said, this whipping-up of the Lemmings, using this non-existent threat of rioting, is pure horseshit, and may be safely and wisely ignored.
That being a leftist bull shit talking point aside, you said SC "installed" him, so you have pictures of the justices keeping liberals away from the polls or what?
If you mean Republicans in general, you mean like writing to every county in Florida giving them tips on how to invalidate largely military write in votes on technicalities? No wait, that was Gore.
Or you mean trying to throw out 15K votes in each of two counties on technicalities? No wait, that was Gore too.
So basically what we have is Bush was installed because legitimate votes weren't tossed out and illegitimate votes weren't counted ...

In one of the closest contests in U.S. history, the 2000 presidential election between Democratic Vice-President Al Gore and Republican governor of Texas George W. Bush (hereafter referred to as Bush Jr. to distinguish him from his father who was also a president), the final outcome hinged on how the vote went in Florida. Independent investigations in that state revealed serious irregularities directed mostly against ethnic minorities and low-income residents who usually voted heavily Democratic. Some 36,000 newly registered voters were turned away because their names had never been added to the voter rolls by Florida’s secretary of state Kathleen Harris. By virtue of the office she held, Harris presided over the state’s election process while herself being an active member of the Bush Jr. state-wide campaign committee. Other voters were turned away because they were declared--almost always incorrectly--“convicted felons.” In several Democratic precincts, state officials closed the polls early, leaving lines of would-be voters stranded.
Under orders from Governor Jeb Bush (Bush Jr.’s brother), state troopers near polling sites delayed people for hours while searching their cars. Some precincts required two photo IDs which many citizens do not have. The requirement under Florida law was only one photo ID. Passed just before the election, this law itself posed a special difficulty for low-income or elderly voters who did not have drivers licenses or other photo IDs. Uncounted ballot boxes went missing or were found in unexplained places or were never collected from certain African-American precincts. During the recount, GOP agitators shipped in from Washington D.C. by the Republican national leadership stormed the Dale County Canvassing Board, punched and kicked one of the officials, shouted and banged on their office doors, and generally created a climate of intimidation that caused the board to abandon its recount and accept the dubious pro-Bush tally.1
Then a five-to-four conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court in a logically tortured decision ruled that a complete recount in Florida would be a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection clause because different counties have different ways of counting the votes. At that point Gore was behind by only a few hundred or so votes in Florida and was gaining ground with each attempt at a recount. By preventing a complete tally, the justices handed Florida’s electoral votes and the presidency to Bush, a stolen election in which the conservative activists on the Supreme Court played a key role.
Even though Bush Jr. lost the nation’s popular vote to Gore by over half a million, he won the electoral college and the presidency itself. Florida was not the only problem. Similar abuses and mistreatment of voters and votes occurred in other parts of the country. A study by computer scientists and social scientists estimated that four to six million votes were left uncounted in the 2000 election.2
