Yes, though just because Biden ain't POTUS, that doesn't mean Trump is. Under the Constitution, his term ended Jan 20th, 2021. Period. It ended. He was not inaugurated. However, since there was neither a qualified POTUS-elect nor VP-elect, then the serving VP remains Acting POTUS until there is a qualified POTUS-elect or VP-elect (e.g. the Electoral appointment disputes remedied), which means....... Mike Pence has been Acting POTUS this entire time. Or if Pence 25th'd himself prior to Jan 20th, then constitutionally next down the list would have been Sec of State Mike Pompeo (neither Speaker nor PPT are constitutionally eligible... see https://greatawakening.win/p/16ZqmyEiZw/presidential-succession-the-way-/)
Legally, constitutionally, this is what should have happened. I certainly hope it did. I cannot and won't support any other attempt to circumvent the Constitution, even being done by DJT himself. Nobody gets to violate the Constitution.
The Constitution always applies. It reigns supreme over all federal statutes, even in time of war. Under the Constitution, Trump's term ended. Period. Done. No executive order or even legislative statute can extend a president's term past what the Constitution sets. However, the Constitution does authorize Congress with power to via legislation, establish who acts as POTUS until and eligible POTUS qualifies. Somebody will always at least be Acting POTUS. But in this case, that somebody could not have been DJT. Downvoters may not like that fact and the truth sometimes hurts, but that's reality.
But under Devolution he is not acting POTUS. Authority devolves onto, if I recall, the 4 designated military generals. Can't remember is one of the selected few is the "boss" of the others, but if he or they they are of one mind with Trump it really doesn't matter.
Except that under the Constitution, even during times of war, rebellion or occupation, there's always to be a POTUS, at least an Acting one, who is the Commander-in-Chief. Anything that deviates from this system, would be extraconstitutional and mean that our Constitution is no longer in effect...

I think if devolution is a think none of the above applies though. Which makes devolution seem like the most likely scenario to me.
