He thinks everyone loves him because his staff is afraid to share the truth with him.

that anyone who actually knows him, can't stand him. He has no real friends. People fear him or use him, but they don't like him.

When he gets negative attention, he’s surprised and embarrassed. Then he has to deny he even heard “ vote him out.” Pathetic SNOWFLAKE.

if he just walked away. Most of his bullshit would be forgotten within a couple of years as the country was allowed to move forward.

But this kind of dishonest fight, trying to subvert the voters' will- people are going to remember this.

It might be one of those fake hollow banks to keep your treasures in so the burglars don't find them.

... hiding his secret bank account. I make a joke, but it's not funny. This guy has sold his soul, and he's controlled by evil. It will all come crashing down, just like it did on Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and the rest. (Eventually Pootie has to meet his maker too.)

The good guys are gonna win this one!

That secret bank account is possibly low on cash. The campaign certainly is. But the Official Grifter Account is probably pretty full, so Ivana and Wifey #2 are probably still ok with their NDAs and their monthly stipends.

I agree with you that he will suffer a precipitous downfall. And I hope he takes Uncle Vlad with him.

Assuming we have the Senate majority, which I’m beginning to believe really can happen, there’s not much more damage he can do. His appointment of right-wing judges will stop. Pence will then pardon him, along with Jared and Ivanka, for any federal crime he could ever have thought of. And the’s no way he will stay and show any class in seeing a new president inaugurated.

The real question then is where he goes. If he goes to Florida, New York can still go after him. He may not believe that they will really indict a former president or that he can simply pay fines and be done. I don’t actually see him leaving the country, but he might if the legal problems get too close.
