By His Own Words

[Rule of Claw]

The President may have left himself no choice but to resign. It is hard to imagine anything he wants, a SC nominee, support, funding, anything going forward now.

I doubt very seriously there will be a debate now.

I DO believe he will resign by mid-October.

1. Wha???

[Thekaspervote]

2. Gosh darn.. I hope you're right..no debate right on! Resign..oh even better

[regnaD kciN]

3. Yeah. Right.

This will make no difference to Republican officeholders, nor to the 42% or more of Americans who are MAGAt true believers. They’ll all agree with him and continue doing his bidding.

[TwilightZone]

4. Nope.

He says nutty things all the time. This isn't any crazier - or realistic - than his usual nonsense. His supporters won't even blink.

5. I dont think so. He is going to try and steal the election

He is an aspiring dictator. He is going to try for it instead of resigning.
I think there will be such a groundswell of support for Biden that even his attempts at rigging it will fail. He is going down.

6. SC nominee: You're saying this cuz of vulnerable incumbent Repub senators?

[Rule of Claw]

9. This statement in political terms renders him

a non-viable candidate.

I do believe a number of Republicans in Congress will blink.

"Get rid of the ballots." He said that on national television. Once he knows winning is an impossibility, he has to resign so Pence can pardon him for what he can. But I feel he would resign before the election to avoid the humiliation.

I don't think the Senate will take up his nominee after saying this, after saying the SC will decide earlier today, after the Atlantic story.

They won't want to be tied to what appears to be, by his own words, an attempt to subvert election results.

7. I'm starting to believe that. He sounds like a desperate man now.

Supreme court pick was argubly his strongest card in his pocket, but McConnell played it. He's lost that leverage with his voter base. They'll be satisfied with the prospect of a strong conservative Supreme Court, even if Trump isn't president again. He's fulfilled his purpose to the GOP.

8. Not only he is not going to resign, he is telling us he is going to refuse to leave.

How do you translate this to him resigning?

[Rule of Claw]

10. Conversations will

be initiated.

[Rule of Claw]

11. Another point-

after this statement he may not FIND a nominee willing to be accused of being his bag man.

[Timewas]

17. U R

Dreaming, you are using logic and that does not apply to trumplicans

[maxsolomon]

12. welcome to DU

You are very incorrect.

[Rule of Claw]

14. Wanna bet?

[Mike 03]

13. At the very least, all the major newspapers in the United States (and, hell,

newspapers in Europe, Australia, Israel, Canada, etc...) should begin to call for his resignation on the front page of their papers. It won't change what the Rs do, but it will provide a societal reality check. IT IS TIME FOR THIS MONSTER TO GO. If the media pretends like this is business as usual, we are gaslighting ourselves.

Trump violates norms, but that doesn't mean we all have to.

[Rule of Claw]

15. These words demand impeachment.

Yesterday I wouldn't have touched that with a ten foot pole. Today I feel we have no choice.

[DonaldsRump]

16. Rule of Claw, welcome to DU

You seem to be awfully certain of your position. Can you explain to me why?

No worries if you don't want to, but your obsession with Trump's resignation just a few weeks before Election Day is fascinating, to say the least!
