Trump's 3:00 PM press conference?

What will he say to distract from this disastrous Woodward story?

Of course, he will first blame Woodward.

But, as he always seems to do, he is able to create another distraction to get people talking about something else.

Will it be about the secretive new nuclear weapons system?

Will he announce that he is firing someone in his Cabinet?

Your guess is as good as anyone's.

1. He's going to quit! Maybe not today, but

I still think he'd rather quit than lose and he's going to be staring a huuuuge loss in the face very soon.

9. I think you are correct. Resign today, take a break, not have to answer questions.

..Like Nixon did 46 years ago.

....and..what Trump did, makes what Nixon did look like absolutely nothing. I believe that is what is
going to happen. It would shock the nation, but we are already shocked by what Woodard wrote!

Also, this way with a resignation, Trump does not have to take the obvious loss in November that will destroy the Republican party more than anyone could know.

Yes, resignation today in one hour and 20 minutes.

12. He could scram and Pence could throw a blanket pardon his way (didn't say it would be legal)

and then I'd expect Pence to simply resign to avoid issues.

I wonder if he thinks he can actually steal this one. The Woodward tapes show that he does see and hear reality. He knew the covid was killer even thought he acted like an idiot. If he knows he won't be able to steal it and he knows that he won't be able to fight and stay in power, that he might cry "foul" and resign just to get away from the Deep State

.........." The Woodward tapes show that he does see and hear reality"

.............that is it, and that is all.............................Trump will get out, get a pardon, take a long break...and perhaps after a "long break" become an expert at ..."Fox Lies"

Someone said that this morning on one of the talk shows, and it's hard to disagree.

I can't WAIT to see live wall-to-wall coverage of EVERY minute he talks on EVERY subject.

Oh, who are we kidding? MSNBC, CNN or FOX won't cover live a tenth of the air time they have given Trump. But they'll cover word Trump says while in exhile.
