He either doesn't want to be president under these circumstances or he doesn't have the guts to be president.

On Jan 19 or the morning of the 20th, for Pence to pardon him. My feeling now is that he'll get out earlier, and Pence is in a very strong position to dictate terms.. Trump needs that Pardon.

He has absolutely no reason to resign under those circumstances. With a sufficient push, he could probably be President until the 20th.
