If I was DJT, I would be planning my way out now. I

would realize that my presidency being at stake is the least of my worries. My freedom, my children, my billions...especially my billions are at risk. I would negotiate a pardon for me and the kids with Pence and cut my losses while I can.

knows him well enough could emphasize the money aspect of the trouble he's in and I think he'd get it pretty fast.

to walk away. He thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. His ego won't allow it, and then there is whatever Putin has on him.

... At least until Putin writes off the debt by pressuring his pet oligarchs who own it.

If we take back the House, and especially if we also take back the Senate, he'll skedaddle, with deal to avoid jail time in hand.

From my perspective, he's defective in the area of predicting the outcomes of his actions.

Has been that Trump will eventually resign due to an "undisclosed medical issue" and then he will classify it for national security, issue pardons for everybody and let the Democrats fight to undo them for the rest of eternity. He will then attempt to use "Classified Medical Issue" as an argument as to why he can't be prosecuted.

And he couldn't care less about anyone else, except for Ivanka. The rest are disposable and secondary to his money.

that he even has money? There could be more than one reason that he won't release his tax returns, and IMO one of them is that he's dead-flat broke or close to it. He's been living on other people's money his whole life.

I agree with a post above, in that I think the only person he actually cares about other than himself is Ivanka. Things could change if/when Kremlin Barbie's time in the barrel arrives.

And in debt up to his eyeballs, and probably is already floating a deal to resign and leave under knowing he won't be able to escape this happening to him now. I don't think they'll give him anything. They have it all on him. He and all those in Congress involved will regret soon what they've done, then be sent to prison. just a matter of time these criminals will be rounded up .
