He's "sticking around" because he knows the second he leaves office the SEC will have his ass for market manipulation and insider trading, the IRS will come after him for tax evasion, his prosecutable ties to Jeffrey Epstein will be fully exposed, and about a kajillion heavily-armed MAGAts who bet their retirement savings on his cryptocurrency and lost it all will come looking for him.

By remaining president he shields himself from all that, which is why he's working so hard to try to figure out how to get a third term.
