He really has no choice. Democrats will impeach him if they win in the midterms. Mueller is building the mother of all cases against him. The GOP is tired of running interference for him. Even his own staff doesn't like him.

I think they are going to negotiate a way for him to resign and then having someone at the White House fire Mueller and ending the investigation as an incentive. As foolish as he is, he has to realize by now Mueller is going to destroy his entire family by getting everyone to snitch on each other. Pretty much the one thing Trump seems to care about, other than himself, are his kids (some of them). I think he will resign to protect them from Mueller.

I agree. I also think he will hit every talk show that will have him and talk about how he could have done great things but no one would let him.

It will all happen very quickly.

I'm as level headed and intelligent as people come and don't go for conspiracy theories but there's a niggling thought in the back of my mind that the powers that be, both Democrats and Republicans, will quietly collude and decide he's a danger to the country and justify it on grounds that he's suffering from early onset of dementia and decide the best solution is to have a sudden natural death and make it happen.

Kind of like Ken Lay? The convenient heart attack unseen by anyone....

The bright side is that this will give Democrats time to establish credible candidates that can reach across the aisle - because right now, the good ones are not widely known, and the old guard is divisive.

Actually, I *hope* they will have enough time! Honestly it doesn't look good...

We don't believe his promises are empty. We see very clearly what's going on. I am 55 and had saw what happened to Bush when liberals were convinced he stole the election. They are sore losers and this is one big temper tantrum by media. You can see it in the broadcasts election night. In addition, there has been some real serious corruption by democrats and some republicans over the past 8 years, and they really expected Hillary to win. Now that she hasn't, they are in complete panic mode, and you are seeing the results of that. Groups like Judicial Watch are leaving no stone unturned and now have the support they need to uncover what's really been going on.

In addition, you have the latest reports by Harvard/MIT finding Breitbart News is NOT Alt-Right:

“One thing that came out very clearly from our study is that Breitbart is not talking about these issues in the same way you would find on the extreme right,’’ he said. ‘‘They don’t use the same language you find on sites like VDARE and The Daily Stormer’’ — two sites connected to the white-nationalist alt-right movement. He paused for a moment, then added: ‘‘Breitbart is not the alt-right.’’ (emphasis added)

AND that Breitbart has a record of promoting women and minorities (NYT Magazine):

“[…] Alex has a pretty good record of promoting women and minorities, at least by the industry’s abysmal standards — including the lead defense correspondent, the national security editor, and the copy chief, all of whom are women of color,” Wil S. Hylton writes in the near-nine thousand word expose published Wednesday.

“In fact, the masthead is more varied and international than most of the news organizations where I’ve worked,” notes Hylton, whose byline has appeared in GQ, Esquire, and Harper’s dating back to 2003.

Slowly but surely, the truth is emerging. Shine a light and the roaches scatter.

So you're worried about corruption? And Trump was the obvious fix for this?

Simple, January 25, 2025 at the end of his second term.

As much as I want him gone, this is what concerns me. We need Mueller's report to repair our democracy.

Only if he resigns, which is unlikely. He will not complete his term, but it will take longer and is out of his control. Mueller has the goods on him as do the Russians. Others may, too. He has no party to support him.

Resignation has always been the only real possibility. And with his generals openly contradicting him, large portions of his government ignoring his tweets, he might be getting close to throwing in the towel. He never ran for president because he has a passion for public service, he ran because he thought he could win and because it didn't look that hard when Obama was doing it.

So you're all for the soft coup working?

One can hope

But, because of the rest of the mess, that out still sucks. I think a lot of them are going down, too, but they can still inflict damage in the meantime.

Dropping dead of natural causes is far too good for him as he would then be entitled to a state funeral. Impeach or resignation and he goes down in ignominious glory (an oxymoron, I know). He has to live with never being taken seriously again. His brand is useless and he loses all his money and is in general population in prison after being convicted in many state courts.

Seems like this is the liberal wishing well. Full of negativity, hate, and death wishes. You liberals are really nice!
