A thought just came to me. Is Trump trying to get impeached?

[Arkansas Granny]

Think about it. His remarks and actions get worse and worse over time. He lies more often than he tells the truth. He spends more time away from the office than any President I can recall. He seems intent on insulting our allies. And the list goes on.

He knows he's in over his head, but his ego won't allow him to quit, so his only way out is impeachment. That way he can blame others for his removal from office without accepting any personal responsibility for his actions.

1. No; his ego would never permit such a thing.

He's just losing it - either because he's decompensating or he's got Alzheimer's.

6. Yep, same thoughts here! He's sliding off the deep end, hmmmm, maybe jumping. n/t

8. You are most likely

correct. It is and has always been all about Donnie. When the Price is right,Donnie is gone.

2. It'd be easier on everyone if he just quit

He can blame it on bone spurs or some other bullshit.

3. I think he likes the power too much

When you have all the money and all the things that money can buy (gold mansions for fucks sake) what is left to aquire? Power = a narcissist's dream

[MineralMan]

4. Nope. He actually imagines that he IS a genius.

He's a pathological narcissist, after all.

5. No, he's just speaking what he honestly believes.

7. He's trying to shift the discussion because he knows shit is about to go down.

This is just another example of him saying something outrageous but not necessarily illegal or impeachable so we spend all of our time talking about that and not his mental health or pending indictments.

9. You're giving him way too much credit

He's freaking out and grasping at straws, and losing what little cool he had to begin with in the process. That's it.

[Atticus]

10. Had the same thought, but don't think so. Even Trump has to know it would lead

to more than just leaving the presidency. He knows he would not last long in prison.


But, then again:. "Pardons, anyone?"

[loyalsister]

11. I have thought that he might enjoy it

All eyes on him seems to be his reason for running in the first place. Then he can brag about how much better his impeachment trial than Clintons. I think he really is that twisted and it would be in keeping with the capriciousness of tweeting and lying for fun. For someone who is not interested in doing the job and loves being the center of attention, it might be a way to get out of it in a blaze of glory.

12. to be honest w/ you, I think he's finding out that the office of the Presidency is far more work

than he realized and he bucking for early retirement at some point soon...
