Some huge scandal will be revealed that will freak him out and he will run away from it all, OR
Law suits will freak him out and he'll run away from it all, OR
Impeachment hearings will freak him out and he'll run away from it all, OR
An assassination attempt will freak him out and he will run away from it all, OR
Some foreign leader will criticize him to his face and he will freak out and run away from it all, OR
His properties will start losing money like crazy and his net worth will plummet and he will freak out and run away from it all, OR
He'll just get sick of the job after discovering he's not really an emperor and think up some excuse like "failing health", and run away from it all, OR

or whatever the reason, he'll find some excuse to bail, and it won't be long before that happens.

the responsibilities of the job, but not to give up the perceived prestige. He's already making it clear he won't spend a lot of time in DC, he won't attend daily briefings, and I'm sure he will reject a lot more of what is expected of a president. But he will be called Mr. President. OMG, I just realized, for the rest of his life.

Must go vomit now.

Just a matter of time, IMO. Don the Con can only be protected for so long...

especially with the GOP engaged in a full broadside attack on the concept of objective truth itself
by the time history gets around to remembering anything, consensus reality may have checked out completely
