It is even plausible that Trump told the corrupt actors in Congress - i.e., most of them - that if they resign before the inauguration, he'll let the inauguration happen. But if they don't, he'll arrest them all and declare martial law and conduct a fair and free election after that. So he is waiting it out until the last moment.
Which would explain the craziness of trying to invoke the 25th Amendment for a President who isn't ill or incapacitated, and why they were trying to rush an impeachment to the Senate. They know his plan and they don't plan on resigning.
