Is Trump going to resign?

Every day there is dislike for him in the media and elsewhere (rightfully). Maybe then his ego cant handle that accumulation of people speaking out against him, so he may just think to himself that he'd rather go back to living at Trump Tower and eating his taco bowls and running his business.

Otherwise he is too self-absorbed and truly, pathologically, malignantly narcissistic that I do not think he has or will ever have the inclination to resign. In his mind I highly suspect that his resignation, under ANY circumstances, is a big whopping LOSS for him in this 'game'. He's not going to bring that kind of loss on himself, he's gonna make other people take him out and go down swinging.

I only see it if it comes down to his resignation vs his prosecution. At that point the most ego saving move would be resignation but that would also require some recognition on his part that he can not prevent prosecution. I think he went into presidency thinking he could do anything he wants and right now, since he's discovered he can't do anything he wants, he's lashing out at the media. He's no where near acceptance.

Unfortunately, the ultra-conservatives probably understand this, too. They need to get Trump out of office, install Pence (onerous but not crazy), restore relative normalcy, and proceed with their destruction of everything from the environment to what's left of the middle class and healthcare. Not having Trump in office takes the wind out of some key sails. Nobody will mobilize the opposition like Trump. He is a huge liability at this point. He's also a lunatic, so some of these people in power may be genuinely afraid.

Mueller is needed here. I want Trump to leave in disgrace, but I want him to take Pence and Ryan with him - summer 2018.

I agree. It seems sad to say it, but I know how stupid, fickle and forgetful most Americans are. If Pence had enough time to pull a functional government together, collective amnesia would prevail and maggots like Ryan and McConnell and their ilk would carry on destroying our country unchecked.

Oh, I am hateful, and not the pretend President who has utterly given up the mantle of moral leadership and provided aid and comfort to terrorist white-nationalist Nazis? Seek mental help.

Aid and comfort? Where and how? Has he provided aid and comfort to MS13 as well because that is a bigger concern than white nationalists to me and I am a latina.

Well then go give Trump a big old kiss and piss off of this thread, then. You're a troll and I don't try to engage in logical argument with logic-free trolls.

or see it as winning or taking charge - just as he ended the business councils when he knew they about to dissolve on their own. Myabe he knows what Mueller's got on him and doesn't want to wait for the axe to fall.

I hope to God he resigns today. trump is making the war on terror so much harder and putting us in greater danger. He is a shame on the American people. The sooner we write him off as a terrible mistake, the better. I don't like Pence or Ryan but they aren't total fools like trump is.

CNN is reporting that WH Deputy CoS just announced that PENCE had been briefed on the situation in Madrid, and would be making remarks soon. Nothing about Trump. Pence.

I think he's going to resign. But, I also think Mr. Art of the Deal is going to negotiate the best exit package possible. Pardons, etc. But also, ongoing SS protection for his kids, government payment for use of his properties to protect him, etc. At Camp David, there is no media to see who shows up.
I am also beginning to think he knew exactly what he did Tuesday, and did it to leverage Pence and the GOP for the best possible deal.

FWIW, my CNN scroll says Corker just followed Graham and McCain in slamming Trump personally. It's end times.

Pence isn't leaving, because Trump can't fire Pence. He can only be impeached. At this point, it would probably help Pence to refuse to resign if asked.

Next focus on Pence. Lie. Next comes Ryan. Continue until you find someone you can deal with, i.e. BRING BACK HILLARY.

Reality? Trump has a rally coming up in Phoenix.

nothing would unify the country more if he resigned. which means it won't happen.

The people of Phoenix don't want him there.

And no one wants to bring "Hillary back" although I know that is what Fox keeps telling you. Loathing trump is an issue unto itself and praying that trump resigns for the sake of our country is much bigger than Republican/Democratic politics. However - yes - if Pence and Ryan were complicit in involving a foreign government in our election - I want them out too.

Bob Corker. Trump "hasn't demonstrated stability or competence to be successful."

The must be "radical changes" at the White House.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/17/politics/bob-corker-criticizes-trump-charlottesville/index.html

Graham, Flake, McCain. Now Corker. This is beginning to look a lot like the Manufacturing Council. Now starts the pressure on other Senators to step up and call Trump incompetent. Pretty soon, you have enough Rs plus Ds to impeach if he doesn't step aside.

Cleveland Clinic just pulled out of Mar A Lago under huge pressure.

This is headed somewhere.

And no matter how far you go, it's unlikely to get past Hatch. There is a line of succession, and its all red. Nobody is seriously thinking HRC would replace Trump.

Unless Rs dick around too long and lose the House. In which case, say hello to President Pelosi. Which the Rs will completely deserve, for trying t hang on with Trump until Fall 2018.

^^ caught in the blue is the note that there is a line of succession, and they won't get past Hatch. Unless the House goes blue in 2018 and Trump is still POTUS.

Then, Rs get POTUS Pelosi. And if they wait until fall 2018 to move, they deserve it.
