Prediction: Trump will resign within the next three weeks.

[Doodley]

Today was probably the worst day of his political life thanks to a German journalist and the German Chancellor. He was humiliated. This week was his worst week. Next week will be worse still. Every week is his worst. This cannot continue.

A runaway train that is not brought under control will crash. He has boxed himself into a corner on his wiretap lies, his unpopular healthcare bill, his unpopular budget, his Muslim ban. There's only one direction on all these things - downhill, and in the meantime he is becoming more isolated, more angry and more paranoid. And when an out-of-control train keeps going downhill, gaining speed, it will crash. That means next week will be worse, and the week after that even worse. I give him three weeks.

[sarcasmo]

1. Remember, Donnie is one steak closer to permanent retirement.

[GulfCoast66]

5. A very well done steak

With catsup.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. And greasy fries.

[sarcasmo]

11. Add the KFC, one step closer.

[KittyWampus]

15. with lots of salt.

[Glimmer of Hope]

21. And a meatloaf sandwich.

[sprinkleeninow]

107. Deep fried Hostess Twinkies for dessert, y'all. Comin'right up! 😆

[Xipe Totec]

44. And a fork stuck on it. nt

[jmowreader]

61. He eats catsup on steak?

That's an impeachment offense right there.

[maddiemom]

75. WELL DONE steak, at that.

Why am I not surprised?

[jmowreader]

76. I realize he has the maturity of a second grader, but that's ridiculous.

[Warren DeMontague]

121. That, alone, ought to be an impeachable offense.

It also makes it all the more mind-boggling that anyone ever actually bought steaks from the guy.

[GWC58]

82. Now just hold on thare!

I love ketchup on my NY Strip! Hell, my wife uses steak sauce on chicken.

[maddiemom]

112. OK. But is your N.Y. strip well done?

I've been known to sometimes use A-One on different stuff, depending on the quality of the meat. I'm sure the Donald eats only the best steaks; not cheap cuts. Cooking them to a near crisp and pouring on ketchup is a sacrilege! To each his/her own in terms of condiments. ( Have you tried blue cheese and pesto together?) Ruining choice cuts of meat by cooking out all the flavor and producing a piece of cardboard , then pouring on ketchup, should be punishable by death!

[GWC58]

119. Medium for me.

Gotta see, at least, a little blood. I don't use much ketchup.

[MADem]

92. Fifty six dollar overpriced and well done steak at his Trump Hotel in the

PO Bldg in DC, specifically.

Hell, I've got some old leather shoes from my military years--I could throw them under the broiler for a bit, toss some Heinz catsup on 'em, and probably have the same dining experience!

[Initech]

72. That's more likely to happen before he'll resign or apologize.

[Bucky]

115. It's spelled "stake"

And you have to get 'em while they're sleeping

[Delphinus]

135. Heh heh ...

[AgadorSparticus]

2. I hope and pray you are right. But, i dont think so. The republicans are propping him up

They want him there because, sadly, they ultimately share much in common.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. That would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath.

The only way he'd resign is if he could figure out a way to do it that made him look like he "won." He can't stand to lose or to be perceived as losing, and resigning would make him look like a loser unless he spins it somehow to make it seem like a win in his own mind.

[Doodley]

6. He already sounds like he has lost. In the press conference today he sounded like he was beaten

[MFM008]

12. He looked pretty bad

more than usual...............
3 weeks is to long.

[Mr.Bill]

77. He appeared to me

to be sedated.

[AwakeAtLast]

91. Yes!

I thought the same thing.

[MADem]

94. Wonder where his Doctor Feelgood is, lately?

I still haven't heard that he's made the pilgrimage to Bethesda for his physical--he really oughta attend to that, so we can find out just how unhealthy he really is!



I wonder what kind of prescriptions this guy writes?

[enid602]

32. tRump

Another immpediment to his resignation is that Putin might cut off cash to trump org. I'm not so sure the decision would be Trump's.

[Alice11111]

78. Yeah, it is complicated. His ties could sink him all of the

way to prison, and his family. I don't see it. He is 70. He fights everything to the death, and he is used to bouncing back at the last moment. People don't make major personality changes at that age. He is somewhat demented, which is why he wants to return to the venue he knows and does well, rallies. He obviously has problems, evident in his lack of focus, and repetiveness. Memory. Resignation...only if he's blackmailed or has to for health reasons. He is a timebomb, healthwise. He is obviously stressed. Today, he was grasping to maintain control. Refusing to shake Merkel's hand, after she asked, what a trashy rude person, when she came all of the way.

I wish it were true, but unless putin wants it, and it is in his interest, nah. It would undermine his and his family's interest. He is lining up Kushner to be the next Prez.

If he could work a deal w Pence, so Kushner is named as VP, he might do it in a few years to line Kushner up.

[Kindnesscostszero]

90. Kushner? Seriously??

He is up to his eyeballs in shady deals and corruption. Pence appears complicit; being caught in several recent lies.

We need a new election. Come to think of it... what is happening with that related filing, winding its way through the court system?

[calimary]

93. Welcome to DU, Kindnesscostszero!

That's a new one to me, too. But Good Grief, everything we've thought was totally impossible so far has turned out to be exactly what winds up happening. If I had a nickel for every talking head on TV and cable who's said "this is not normal!" or "we've never seen this before!" or "this has never happened before!", I'd have a pile of nickels up to my hips.

[Kindnesscostszero]

110. Yes, for the past year I have felt like I stepped into

An alternate universe. Thanks for the welcome, calimary

[Alice11111]

102. It is reprehensible. DT has made him Minister of Foreign

Affairs, and he's dismantled the State Dept. Kushner sat opposite Merkel today, in the power seat. That is DTs plan. Not saying it will happen, but watch him orchestrate it. Look what he has already done w this 35 year old w no experience, just like DT. He will try it.

[nocalflea]

51. See Sarah Palin

[gibraltar72]

4. The web

of Russian contacts influence and ties will become so big congress will make a deal for him to step down. A story will be told to cover it. But it will be crimes against the American people.

[Doodley]

9. Yes, he has that to look forward to. He has no light on the horizon. There is nothing good for him.

[NBachers]

69. The republicans will be all We did this for the American People- Democrats had nothing to do with it

[Alice11111]

79. Yeah, they will officially cover it to CYA their own.

But we will know. We already do.

[Sancho]

129. The web of Russian contacts is not just Trumpettes...there are GOPers up to their ass with Putin

Even though a few tried to distance themselves, any serious investigation is going to reveal an assortment of down ticket repubs who got help, some in the leadership who were clearly aware, etc.

They may throw Trump under the bus and impeach him, but Trump's crazy cabinet will just as likely squeal to avoid jail, so the repubs are desperately trying to get rid of evidence before the inevitable crash.

Nothing would help the GOP more than for Trump to keel over dead and absolve them of a big impeachment investigation.

[H2O Man]

8. I hope so.

He may decide he wants to spend more time with his daughter.

[ButSeeYa]

13. LOL!

[jrthin]

20. LOL :rofl: nt

[jaysunb]

46. LMAO ! And you sir are a sight for sore eyes.

I think I started a thread asking about your whereabouts. Hope you're well.

[burrowowl]

65. Good One!!

[sprinkleeninow]

105. Ouch. But, yeah! 😮

[still_one]

10. Not going to happen. He is playing the press like a fiddle, and has doubled down on all his lies.

republicans aren't going to remove him

[edhopper]

14. not going to happen

People who think that the GOP Congress will go after him are gravely mistaken
There is no legal authority that isn't compromised.

[Doodley]

17. Whatever kind of monster he might be, he is a human being. He has insecurities. He feels pressure.

He is intolerant of criticism. He is easily humiliated. He feels under attack. He does not know who he can trust. He is paranoid. He won't admit his mistakes. These are the things that will end his presidency.

[edhopper]

22. Who will end it?

Or are you saying he will leave on his own accord.

I don't think so, his ego won't allow it.

[womanofthehills]

27. Dianne Feinstein seems to think his days are numbered - a few months

Her position seemed to be that if Congress can pass a law prohibiting Donald Trump from misusing his office to enrich himself financially, then he’ll either resign the presidency so he can continue his business interests, or they’ll impeach him for breaking that law. But none of what Dianne Feinstein described would require technological hacking. So when she referenced “technical people” who are “working at this,” was she hinting at the people in the intel community digging up his Russian financial connections? Perhaps she was so shaken this week because she’d just learned the extent of what had been dug up.

http://www.palmerreport.com/opinion/dianne-feinstein-the-technical-people-donald-trump/1961/

[edhopper]

29. I think people are

reading too much into that.

[Juliusseizure]

43. Exactly. Wishful thinking

Like Maddow finding the smoking gun in Al Capone's vault.

[Orrex]

86. Golly! People just can't seem to keep from shitting on Maddow

I look forward to your many years of positive contributions here at DU.

[Juliusseizure]

106. "Shitting" its not

I'm poking a little fun like Stephen Colbert and others. Deserved too. Thats a far cry from shitting.

[jaysunb]

49. I disagree...

The pieces of this puzzle are falling into place everyday. I watched Watergate unfold and we are on the near exact path.

[edhopper]

125. Watergate

had a Dem majority in Congress and Republicans who wanted to prosecute.

We now have no legal authority in any branch that will go after him. The GOP Congress is carrying his water and I see no retreat from that.
They want their heartless agenda passed and they will back him as long as he has the same one.

[MADem]

98. She and Grassley came outta that meeting looking like they'd seen

the wee wee tape.....

[truebluegreen]

128. "Her position seemed to be that Congress can pass a law

prohibiting Donald Trump from misusing his office to enrich himself...."

Why on earth would she, or anyone, think that? Even if by some miracle they passed it, who thinks DFT would sign it?

[Doodley]

37. I think he will come to the point when emotionally and mentally, he simply can't go on. It's soon.

[Alice11111]

80. Probably true, but a long time coming. He is tap dancing

For Congress now. He doesn't want the 25th or impeachment.

[LOL Lib]

16. Doodley, I would give you my next 3 months of pay if you could make this come true!

I certainly hope you are right, but the orange anus is like nothing I've seen. Time and again I thought he was toast during the campaign. That piece of dung just keeps on rolling. I was so elated the day the pussy grabber tape came out. How can any remotely decent person condone that behavior from a presidential candidate? Yet here we are some months later and this rancid sack of meat is the so-called POTUS. He seems to be an incurable disease that we have contracted.

[Doodley]

28. Let me ask this question. Has his presidency been better or worse than you expected? For me, it has

been better, because the Russia revelations, his low poll numbers, the judges blocking his travel bans, the media have against him, his health care bill is likely to fail, his budget is likely to fail, he can no longer fill a stadium. He has GOP lawmakers openly criticizing him. Nothing is going right for him.

You are right, time and time again, we thought he was out during the campaign, but he stayed because his base stuck with him. Now he is president, and he is still pandering to that base. But by doing that, he will keep on failing. He has surrounded himself by people who have kept him on that path of failure and is now even betraying many of his base. The only conceivable pathway for him is down. He is in a death spiral and there is no way out.

[LOL Lib]

42. Definitely better for me than expected! Worse for him.

He makes so many errors that he could avoid simply because he is unstable. His Muslim bans have gone horribly wrong and that gives me hope. You are correct, he has had one bad cycle after another. I shouldn't root for his failure, but I can't help it. I want his base to turn against him, but they seem to be brain dead. That would really destroy lil Donnie's fragile ego! Thanks for the thread, you give me hope!

[Laffy Kat]

18. We keep thinking that.... nt

[Blaukraut]

19. We've been predicting his imminent political demise since the inauguration and still nothing

That cockroach is going to hang on until he is forced out of office.

[dalton99a]

23. Not going to happen. He likes to torture people.

[redstateblues]

24. Wishful thinking

[Lunabell]

25. I doubt he will ever resign.

He is too full of himself.

[womanofthehills]

30. He will if Comey has something good on him -Feinstein has given us some hope

He looked really angry today. He looks miserable and depressed. He hates it that people are not loving him.

[LibraLiz1973]

50. Someone is going to have to explain what hope Feinstein gave

Because everyone claiming she was so somber the other day.... I did not see that AT ALL.
I didn't see it today, either. What she said today was that he will bring himself down- and when pressed she pointed to his family making money off of his presidency. Not the Russia issue. Not the abysmal budget. Not the terrible healthcare. Not the botched meetings with foreign leaders. It came down to money- and she has no way of assuring us that will ever pan out. Don't look to Feinstein thinking a certain facial expression is indicative of anything other than a strong dislike for 45 and the situation our country finds itself in.

[Rollo]

67. Or perhaps she didn't mention the Russian poison pill because it's still "highly classified" ...

[Bucky]

116. and too damn stubborn

Plus I don't see the advantage of Trump resigning. The more I hear from Mike Pence, the more I'm convinced he's just a Trump with less of a propensity to screw up

[Nay]

118. That's the problem, of course. Pence would be a more effective Trump -- and

his strict ideology would actually make Pence so effective that we may wish Trump came back. It's not like Trump (or his advisors) picked a normal, sane Republican as VP.

[Binkie The Clown]

26. He lives in a bubble where he hears only what he wants to hear.

He doesn't have a clue that he's an embarrassment. He doesn't even know that people hate him. He thinks he's a hero. He thinks that everybody loves him. He won't resign as long as he can stay safely inside his bubble.

[Doodley]

33. I don't agree. He won't apologize for the wiretap smear because he would find it embarrassing.

He does pay attention to polls, as confirmed by Tweets and past statements. He does know he can't fill a stadium - he has eyes and ears. He does know when the German Chancellor gives him her candid opinion, look at the photo opportunity today. He does know that the news media are against him, look at his Tweets and rallies. He is extremely thin-skinned, paranoid and unhappy with how things are going.

[Binkie The Clown]

39. I hope you're right and I'm wrong. Crossing my fingers! n/t

[womanofthehills]

34. Disagree - he knows people dislike him because he watches the news

I think he is so angry because he knows he is in deep trouble.

[Binkie The Clown]

40. I hope you're right. n/t

[milestogo]

31. May every bad thing he's ever done catch up with him

including his fast food diet.

[Beacool]

71. That it will.

He's going to be 71 this year, he eats junk food and doesn't exercise. He's a heart attack waiting to happen.

[milestogo]

74. We're all waiting.

[SammyWinstonJack]

108. +1000000!

[BainsBane]

35. I wouldn't count on it

The only way he resigns is to avoid prison. If the FBI does have the goods on him, they are more likely to arrest him out of office than in.

[Kimchijeon]

36. I hope so!! Oh I really really do

Plz Plz Plz Plz... OH PLZ
[img][/img]

[BeyondGeography]

38. His fanz still love him

and he still loves him. He loves him so much. Somebody has to, you know.

Trump is an alley cat. He won't go easy. Settle in, and hope to goddess he doesn't blow the world up before he's done.

[LiberalFighter]

41. Doubt it would be that soon.

The problem is that the media are failures in their reporting.

[StevieM]

45. Prediction: Trump will continue to get away with his crimes and serve for all four years.

The only way we are going to get rid of this guy is to vote him out.

[Doodley]

47. Remember, when you see Trump on TV, you are witnessing a man who is in the

middle of a mental health breakdown. He is a man who needs mental health care. He is near to the point when he WILL be hospitalized.

[notdarkyet]

101. We survived bush, barely, and at what cost?

[Vogon_Glory]

114. Dubya, for all his flaws as President, was

At least more emotionally stable than Thump.

[Juliusseizure]

48. Not gonna happen

He was talking about wanting to be president during Reagan. I used to think wtf is a real estate developer doing on TV? Wtf is he meeting with OJ, Michael Jackson, etc? He's addicted to attention and mass worship.

It's going to be hard enough getting his ass out when his term is over.

[Alice11111]

84. Finally got a laugh

[Honeycombe8]

52. It's not easy to get rid of a President.People don't willingly give up power.

I don't think he'll ever resign. His personality is such that, as his mentor taught him, you never admit you made a mistake, you always claim you won (even when you lost), you go after the jugular to ruin those who oppose you, and you never give up.

He won't resign, unless it's after a hearing and he's going to be indicted or impeached, and they make him a deal he can resign instead of go to prison.

I don't see the Republicans ever impeaching him. All most of them care about is money. As long as Trump continues to support their programs and tax cuts, he's useful.

It's very upsetting, but I'm afraid this is the way it is. I don't see him running again, though.

[Doodley]

57. "as his mentor taught him, you never admit you made a mistake" - that is why he will keep failing.

He has one way to go. Down and out!

[Honeycombe8]

134. I hope you're right. America is going very dark. nt

[mzteaze]

139. Well...

[quote]I don't see the Republicans ever impeaching him. All most of them care about is money. As long as Trump continues to support their programs and tax cuts, he's useful. [/quote]

There are cracks in that relationship already. He's stuck his foot in it with the baseless wiretapping claims & the obvious preference for media as intel instead of using the more traditional, reliable intel that's available to him because of his position. Then to force Congress to waste time investigating and (so far) coming up empty - many of even his staunchest supporters in Congress have been forced to make statements they clearly did not want to make refuting his claims.

Plus, to follow up with his disastrous handling of foreign leaders - like Trudeau and now Merkel, why intentionally make inflammatory statements to ALLIES?

Or, that he's potentially shared classified information via tweets (wiretap stuff), in meetings (his "joke" about wiretapping with Merkel and other minor, but, never verified bits of information), etc. It's going to come a time when they can't keep bubble wrapping him and trying to ignore his statements.

I think going in, they were all for supporting his agenda but now since it's being increasingly clear that his erratic (at best) behaviour will lead to further issues and force them to act in a way that protects themselves. At the base of it, they want to maintain their majority and the Dump's poor showing reflects on them - especially those up for re-election in 2018.

[L. Coyote]

53. Plus a gaggle of bozos running his one-ring circus, total incompetence at every level, dooms him too

On one else would work with him.

[C Moon]

54. It looks that way to me, with my FB friends, here...

but many of the major news sources still talk about him like he's legitimate.
I really, really, really hope you are right.

[Hoyt]

55. He will not resign until he has bombed some country, deported Hispanics, made poor die in streets,

and worse.

[jimlup]

56. Unfortunately we won't be able to get him out by then

A better analogy might be a wounded and trapped animal. He is likely to fight to the death. Unfortunately, if he is in fact a "runaway train" we have to go along for the ride.

I think it is going to get very ugly and we have only scratched the surface. No, it will be long hellish ride down to the bottom. It will be worse than even we are saying right now. I am very sorry to say this but in my gut I know it is true.

[Alice11111]

95. I feel this is true. We didn't take him seriously ever.

He took himself very seriously. He beat out 17 candidates in the primary. He caved to Congress on the budget bill big time today. Who knows tomorrow, we could get a 5 am tweet. Then, against all odds, he won. He cheated. Big deal to us. Not to him, winning is all. We think it's impossible because he is boorish, inhumane, rude, mean, can't talk in complete sentences, can't comprehend, but he keeps on going.

I'm hoping I'm wronger than hell, but i see him fighting til the end or a negotiated deal. We know his family, at least Ivanka and Kushner, and money are the most important thing to him. He probably wouldn't recognize Baron or Tiffany in a crowd. He will protect his money and family. Plus, Bannon wants his war. I suspect that was why trump did a 180 on the draconian budget. Bannon's push, Preibus and Ryan. He wants to keep this job, and get Congress off his back.

[jimlup]

130. I don't even think he would protect his family

if push came to shove. He's a deeply evil and insane man.

I fear for the whole world.

[MrPurple]

58. Putin doesn't accept returned merchandise

And Trump has no shame. The Presidency is going to have to be pried from his tiny little hands.

[Marie Marie]

59. Wish I could share your optimism.

We know he has been a disaster - he thinks he's doing great. And would be doing greater if only the media, the Democrats, the so-called judges and on and on with other reasons, would just get out of his way and let him rule like the King he thinks he is. He is not going anywhere and the Republicans have yet to find a line that he can't cross.

[johnp3907]

60. No, he'll just start a war.

His poll numbers will jump, we'll all be told to "support the troops," millions will die, etc.....

[Susan Calvin]

62. Hope you are right. nt

[joanbarnes]

63. I pray you are correct, Doodley, starting a Novena tonight.

[joanbarnes]

133. Would so much prefer his resignation to any other type of potential regime change.

[LibraLiz1973]

64. I'll bet one months salary that he will not

I think our side really needs a reality check. We're starting to sound like the Birthers and the tea party people. People are hanging their hopes on Diane Feinstein's face and body language. She is an EIGHTY THREE year old woman who looked totally normal, maybe a bit tired. She looked no different giving that statement than she did this afternoon. Where, once again, people are saying she was giving BIG HINTS about Trump's resignation.

You guys.

Calm down.

Facts only.

F A C T S.

1. Feinstein had a briefing.
2. Afterward, she said she could not discuss any of it because it was confidential.
3. We still do not have a smoking gun to tie Trump directly to Russia.
4. The Republicans are solidly on his side.

There are months and months- if not YEARS- of investigations coming. And while that goes on, he will continue on as 45.

Let's talk about REAL things and what we can do to HELP this situation and offset the damage he's doing. Because, real talk? He's not going anywhere.

[Doodley]

81. I don't know anything about Feinstein, but I do see a man who is playing an end game.

I think he knows the end is coming. Wait a few weeks for evidence on wiretapping, he says. Don’t need to even try to build a relationship with other world leaders. Don’t need to care about what Don’t worry about my voters and healthcare or the budget. All of this is from a man who does not need to worry about the future as a president. Why? Because he knows he will be gone.

[nocalflea]

66. The only thing I expect from him ,any

time soon, is a twitter rage-athon. He is angry and the more he holds it in , the more anxious he becomes. He instinct is to lash out , to cause others pain. If he finds out where his phone is hidden , we're either in for some major entertainment or a war.

[Doodley]

104. Yes, get ready for a temendous Twitter fit this weekend!

[Beacool]

68. I think that someone at some point is going to try to take him out.

I'm not saying that I wish it, but he has ticked off far too many people, including agencies like the CIA and the FBI.

You can't go through life flinging sh*t at everyone and not expect some of it to land on you.

[workinclasszero]

70. Trump will have a nuclear exchange with NK first

To try and get the press off his back.

[Doodley]

83. Dropping nukes will get the press off his back? Really? It will be THE biggest

news story of the century in every single nation.

[Alice11111]

73. Frum, of the Atlantic, says he will be stronger than ever in

a month, Frum can't stand him. He says he will do whatever he has to do to get the budget through. It does look that that. He said today he supports it 100 pc. He acknowledged that he was shorting people in WVa, Ky & Arkansas who handed him the election.

Plus, there is always the nuclear option. It backfired on him to get FISA warrants off the page w Obama. However, if necessary he will change the subject and bomb N Korea, which of course, wipes out S Korea too...possibly much more. "What's the point of having nukes if you can't use them?" Bannon is pushing him, in his ear, like Iago.

He has laid the ground work.

[Doodley]

87. Getting the budget through will make him even more unpopular. He is in a death spiral.

Dropping nukes will be the worst thing he could do, and every nation on the planet would be opposed, most of America and the media would toast him.

[Alice11111]

96. Sounds like it, but I don't see him resigning without

A good deal.

[sharedvalues]

127. Passing the Trumpcare bill will destroy the GOP

Whatever happens to Trumpcare -- whether it passes the house or Senate or fails -- Trumpcare will be hugely damaging to Trump and the GOP.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/--100932

HOWEVER , if Trumpcare passes, the GOP-controlled media is going to go to lengths we have never seen before to blame Trumpcare effects on Democrats and Obama. The one thing we can all do is keep protesting and make sure a majority of Americans realize this is the GOP's plan. The only outcome that strengthens Trump is passing the bill AND blaming it on Obama. I don't think he will do either of those things and we can help prevent him from doing the second.

[herding cats]

85. Never.

I'm sorry, but he will never admit defeat. He's a living breathing ego with two legs. Also, he wants way too much still to concede. He's in it until he's ousted... one way or the other.

[RainCaster]

89. Not gonna happen. NT

[jg10003]

97. Never. That would admit defeat & failure, and he is incapable of that.

[briv1016]

99. Do you really think Putin would allow him to just give up all that power?

[SleeplessinSoCal]

100. I think one question is how much do the Russians and Wall Street want him in office now.

And possibly he thinks he can hold onto the fan base and try to grow it somehow which would feed him.

[pbmus]

103. Nuclear war with North Korea before he resigns...

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

109. If only!

[davsand]

113. He's still a useful distraction.

It's kind of a "Look--it's Haley's Comet!" sort of thing with him. While he's out doing the dumbass thing, tweeting out his early am bullshit, nobody is really paying a lot of attention to the sneaky little things going on in Congress. Yeah, we are all watching the ACA issue, and we all are watching the budget stuff, but there is an awful lot of other stuff going on and it is under the radar because we are all laughing (or screaming) about his outrage du jour.

Once they get a bunch of heinous crap accomplished (cough, cough, Medicare and Social Security dismantled, for instance) they are gonna sober up and realize the off year elections are coming up and the people are pissed off. At that point, the orange anus becomes the surrogate for the Congressional Republicans, and his days become numbered. I look for them to try and "throw him off the island", and I expect he's gonna try and fight back.

I honestly think there's a lot of dirt on him that they will trot out behind closed doors. I also think a deal will be struck that he'll resign and in return he gets to keep his money and they won't prosecute him or his kids. If he fights them, I think he's either gonna have an unfortunate "Heart Attack" down at Mira Viagra, or else go to jail along with some of his kids. I have zero doubt that his party would take him out if they think they are gonna lose seats, and the individuals would certainly be willing if it means they get to keep their own seat.

If the GOP doesn't get him, I think the Russians might because he's uncontrollable.

117. wanna put some dollars on that prediction? He will never resign, nor admit the job is beyond his

capabilities, nor admit it is not going "beautifully".

[OldHippieChick]

120. Alas, so long as he and his family can

make a buck off their "fame", they will continue to grift and play us. Expect them to drain the treasury of everything they can while twisting arms of domestic and foreign corporations to invest in their properties and products. Until they have squeezed as much as they can, he will cling to the Presidency and the hell with all of us.

122. Bingo. It's all just one giant grift.

123. I dont think he would ever resign, but I do think he will not return one

weekend from Mar a Lago and just stay there permanently.

124. In three weeks this will join dozens of others in the graveyard of bad DU predictions about Trump

nt

[USALiberal]

126. No possible way. Bet $100 to our favorite charity??? He is to arrogant. n/t

[beachbum bob]

131. silly...trump never quiting until he is thrown out or not re-elected

[nycbos]

132. I don't think so.

He is so narcissistic.

[cwydro]

136. Nope.

Keep dreaming.

I'll bookmark this thread lol.

137. I agree - as a plea bargain to avoid prosecution for

Espionage, after he's removed from office via impeachment. Once the undeniable evidence of his personal collusion with Russia is leaked and widely public ally exposed- it will be nothing short of political suicide for the GOP to continue to support him - and they will throw him under the bus (as they know he would them)!!

[FigTree]

138. 18 months. And there will be public humiliation.

[fescuerescue]

140. That will be a wonderful way to start April!

Can hardly wait
