Could we be heading towards a perfect storm of a Trump nuclear meltdown?

He'll be hampered by questions about the Russian bounties, plus Covid will likely continue to spin out of control.

When the Supreme Court rules on his tax returns, if it's not in his favor, it would seem like dropping a match to a stream of gasoline.

Trump's malignant narcissism will cause him to lash out in unpredictable ways. He will only get worse as the election approaches.

keep him in this Race and at the same time,he and his Crime Syndicate will do everything possible to fatten his pocket book.

I would not be entirely surprised if he resigns by August. In Trump world he can't lose, it can't be allowed to happen. If he resigns he doesn't lose and he can rant from the sidelines all he wants.

Resigning would be the ultimate defeat to him. At least losing in November, he can claim it was rigged if he loses. Resigning doesn’t allow that option.

the presidency is his 'get out of jail free' card. He will clutch at it like Susan Collins does her pearls. Won't give it up willingly.

Will be if republicans in the Senate and House turn on him. So far they have been protecting him, but if a majority of them turn on him, then I could see a complete meltdown,
but I am not going to bet that they will!

A vast majority of them are compromised, one way or another, and care more about keeping their power than they care about saving our Democracy!
