You know why trump is desperate ,

The end of his, and his family's criminal enterprise is about to go down. Its very obvious its taking a tole on his health now too. Before his taxes come out, i expect his resignation to try and keep them hidden because it exposes so much on him and his family, and their crimes. It'll tie him to putin too.

not to mention potentially charges in other countries if it all came out. In his case, a pardon for federal crimes is just the tip of the iceberg.

any means necessary. He will further destroy the country. Now he's trying to control the messaging about the Pandemic which in turn will cause more deaths and suffering, because it's all about him.

resigning on Jan 19 and having pence* pardon him. Of course, that won't cover state crimes so maybe after the pardon he will flee.

thus putting Pence in the presidency position until January, getting a presidential pardon, and totally ruining any chances of a Repub presidency except for a write-in candidate??? Everything he touches dies, and it would be a certain death for the R party if there was no candidate in 2020.

He is a bully and has the ultimate bully pulpit. He won't trust anyone not to fuck him over if they get a chance, because that's what he would do. He knows a tsunami of wanting to fuck him over (deservedly) is coming after the sheild of the Presidency is removed and he wlll hide behind that at all cost.

What would Putin do? Remember P is the one running the show. 45 has no choice but to run. If he doesn't and Pence and Mother take over, he's still facing state charges which are un-pardonable. So he'll go for broke and run. And if he loses, he'll contest the election in at least 3 states and the decider becomes the House which is one vote per state. And 45 wins. THAT'S his plan. Meanwhile, P' s orders are to weaken and destroy USA. He's doing a damn good job of it so far.

12. Trump is having too much fun to resign
Wed Jul 15, 2020, 11:26 AM

Trump enjoys the suffering of others too much to resign, especially if it's been engineered by himself. He loves torturing people and making them sick with anxiety. That's what Trump did this week when he announced his spite- filled policy subjecting foreign students to deportation if they didn't show up for class on campus after the universities announced the classes would be virtual. Trump withdrew it after he got massive blow back. But sticking it to innocent people was worth it to him. That's why he is so dangerous. That's why he's done little or nothing since Covid-19 has killed or sickened thousands of Americans --136,463 gone. He likely soils himself with glee thinking about the untold suffering caused by his lies and criminal negligence.

Trump doesn't sleep well. He can't have that subconscious mind rising up in deep sleep; his Twitter rages help to keep it submerged down in the hole. Trump knows that he will still have to live in this world. Somehow.

Tax evasion is always how they bring the worst of the worst down. Every. Single. Time. They all cheat on their taxes.
