How can Trump legally resume the office of the president? It needs to be done by the law. You could be right, either way Trump will be president at some point in the near future. But I don't see how we can get around Pompeo being acting president.
Order of succession. It would generally be Nancy Pelosi as Speaker. Then I believe it would be Chuck Grassley as President Pro Tempore of the Senate. But I think they will be among those arrested. So next in line is Mike Pompeo. Better start congratulating President Pompeo.
If Grassley is a white hat, he may willingly pass the torch to Pompey. He is pretty old. If he is a black hat, he will be taking a ride with Pelosi anyway

How do you have Pompeo become President?

But Pompeo is no longer Secretary of State at noon.
I could be wrong here, but I thought Pompeo remains until replaced by the incoming POTUS. Could very well be incorrect in that thinking.
Biden, Harris, Piglosi and Grassley would all need to be arrested or otherwise made ineligible to serve.
Biden Harris and Pelosi are all easy, but I’m afraid I don’t know a lot about Grassley

How could Pompeo remain Secretary of State without Trump President.
If Trump is out, then his Secretary of State is also.
What wrong with a military junta? Why do they need Pompeo? (Not that I have anything against him.)
