Will Trump resign tomorrow?

[kentuck]

Once he sees the writing on the wall?

Once he realizes that he is going to lose the vote in the Senate, will he be looking to make a deal?

For the first time in almost 5 years, he will probably "act" presidential. He will be a martyr. He will be a victim.

He will be gone.

1. I'm hoping for seppuku tonight.

[dweller]

6. He'd fuck it up

perhaps a swan dive from the balcony ...

[fierywoman]

10. Thank you for the belly laugh!!!

[dweller]

14. chuckles

[Orrex]

15. If at first he doesn't succeed.

[Straw Man]

31. Interesting thought.

In seppuku, the samurai who is offing himself generally has a retainer standing by the finish the job in case he becomes incapacitated by his injuries mid-suicide. I'm imagining a large crowd of former associates lining up to volunteer for the job.

2. I'm skeptical

For now, I see people like Mitch today just giving the OK to House Republicans that voting for impeachment is OK (He won't attack them).

But who knows? Perhaps the Congress members have been briefed and they know things we don't know yet.

[Zorro]

3. I don't think so

He's more likely to do something terrible.

[turtleblossom]

4. Not unless Putin tells him to do so

[brooklynite]

5. That would require a rational assessment of his future...

Unlikely he'll see it that way.

[jcgoldie]

7. no

His whole stupid thesis now is "fight for Trump". Seems like about 30% of Americans will follow that anywhere he goes with it. The only way he loses it is if he gives up. I don't think he resigns period because then he can't blame everyone else for whatever happens.

8. He is delusional and will think something he does will fix everything in the next few days

If he is going to resign it will be in the last day or two. He will push it right up to the end or just screw himself out of his psychotic pride.

[sarisataka]

9. It is at least as likely

As all of the predictions of him resigning we have seen in the last four plus years

[Dem2]

11. Jan 19th is my bet

Cuz he wants to cause as much disruption as possible on the way out.

29. It was my original bet, but Impeachment may move it up, plus he NEEDS a Pence pardon, so

he needs to do a deal with Pence. It's not entirely in his control.

[BlueIdaho]

12. Sadly - no.

His narcissism won’t let him

[octoberlib]

13. No.

[Lucinda]

16. Very very possible. Especially if he gets something out of it

[Karadeniz]

17. I don't want to give Pence the opportunity to pardon him.

[marylandblue]

18. The Senate won't vote before the 20th, so no.

[FakeNoose]

19. His only reason to resign is to get a pardon from Pence

However at this point I'm not so sure that Pence is willing to do that. Chump tried to have him killed 6 days ago, why should he get a pardon ... for any reason?

If Pence doesn't agree to give him the pardon, I don't think Chump will resign.

[trackfan]

20. No. The only possible exception being

if it provided total immunity/protection for him and his family. Plus there would have to be some major financial bonus for him, just to sweeten the pot.

[Silent3]

22. He'd take immunity for just himself

He might ask for immunity for his family, but he wouldn't hold out for it.

[TeamPooka]

27. This

[Fiendish Thingy]

21. Naw, he'll be like Slim Pickens and ride the nuke all the way down

(Dr. Strangelove reference for the youngsters out there)

[left-of-center2012]

23. Trump is a loser, not a quitter

So no,
he will not resign

[elevator]

25. Trump is a loser and a quitter.

He's given up on many lawsuits and settled. He's quit on two marriages. He quit on the American people. The list could go on for quite a while.

[left-of-center2012]

26. Well okie dokie smokey

[C Moon]

24. He'll have a stroke before he resigns.

[EthanBlue]

28. No

The thing about Trump is he doesn’t like losing or being seen as weak. Which is why he did the photo op after the COVID infection. Honestly it’s why he won’t admit he lost fairly, well one of the reasons.

Trump doesn’t have a way out and there is no graceful option for him.

[Raine]

30. NO way. nt
