Look out! Could this be true?:

1. I'm guessing no...

not like him to go out a "loser"

If they provide him a way to slink down a back alley with a few more billion dollars...maybe.

If he could be promoted to "king of the world" plus a few billion dollars... sure thing.

[unblock]

4. in theory it shouldn't be too hard to give him some way to claim he's retiring as a "winner"

whatever health care crap they pass, plus a tiny budget amount for the stupid wall, then he can resign and claim he's doing it because he accomplished in just a few months everything he set out to accomplish and doesn't need the rest of his term. most efficient president ever, right?

[LovingA2andMI]

2. Maybe, because...

If he resigns, Pence would become POTUS. Ryan VP and Pence could pardon 45th for any charges to come in the future.

This is likely the end game and it might happen quickly.

[emulatorloo]

14. Pence, McConnell and Ryan are up to their eyeballs in Russia/Trump collision.

That's why McConnell is fighting tooth and nail against an independent investigation of Trump Russia. Because those three knew about it and benefitted from it.

18. If Trump resigns, Pence assumes office and nominates the next V-P. 25th Amendment.

Amendment XXV

Section 1.
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

Section 2.
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. If he resigns, he will get pardoned, Pence will go on steroids destroying

our country, and we lose bigger that way than impeachment.

[Comrade Donald]

32. Pence knew Flynn was a traitor

And Pence headed the transition team. So skip over Pence and Ryan. Old Senator Hatch would be next in line.

[Warpy]

3. The only time he's having any fun is at his 2020 campaign rallies

every two or three weeks. And those have had EMPTY SEATS lately, even with all those people with signs waiting outside and cheering as he goes in!

I'm sure he thinks about quitting ten times a day. His ego won't let him yet. I don't know if it ever will unless he's completely isolated from his claque, meaning his family and the few rabid loyalists still left.

[enid602]

34. Resign

So why doesn't he just resign so he can concentrate on his 2020 campaign? This might make sense in tRump World.

[Warpy]

36. He never had any interest at all in doing the actual job

He thought he'd be the "idea man" like he is at Trump Industries, issuing memos/EOs and having them carried out without question.

Actual governing has come as an ugly surprise to him, especially his inability to fire judges or Congressmen he doesn't like.

I doubt he's happy at all. He loved campaigning, the crowds, the lights, the noise, and the attention. It was probably the best part of his life.

I think he will resign at some point, but he'll have to be even more isolated than he is right now.

[Dem2]

5. Normally I would say this is exaggerated

...but we all know, including dumbass, that things are going to get worse for him by the day. He may be better off consolidating his losses, licking his wounds and moving to Russia for an extended vacation

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. so pullin a palin? I wish, but doubt it...yet, anyway.

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. Dont wish it.

Resigns
pardoned
Pence passes bills to destroy healthcare and medicare and medicaid and soc sec and welfare and voting rights and on and on and on and on

with idiot #1 in there the focus is on him and less chance to destroy America

[enid602]

35. RICO asset seizure

I believe tRump and his cohorts can only be pardoned for federal crimes, and not the state offenses for which he will be found guilty.

[Binkie The Clown]

7. Dear god, if there is a god, please make this be true.

On the other hand, Trump may be proof that god has a sense of humor. At our expense, as usual. Ask Job.

[COLGATE4]

8. Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. nt

[Feathery Scout]

9. Hopium. Donnie Two Scoops isn't goin anywhere.

[LeftInTX]

13. The WH needs to invite competitive eaters to be his guest - every day

Every day....Donnie can outdo his guest by eating 5 - 72 ounces steaks (the record is 4)
A record for ice cream is 12 pints in 30 minutes, so Donnie should go for 24.

He can brag about being a World Record holder.

Have these people over every day.


Our Donnie problem will be gone.

[uponit7771]

10. Most likely he said it whimsically like he does everything else, he's not a smart person

[wcmagumba]

11. Pence couldn't pardon him for any State charges....

hope, hope, hope....

[GallopingGhost]

12. It could be true

His ego is such that he can't take knowing he isn't adored around every corner.

His Nazi agenda is somewhat stalled because of Russiagate, the WH is in a state of disarrayed clownfuckery, so it's possible.

I don't know which would be worse- Pence as president, or riding the Donald into the tsunami of the mid-terms.

Unless the massive take down we are all hoping for actually happens.

[mopinko]

15. perhaps he thinks this is a threat.

[titaniumsalute]

16. Please stop with this bullshit Twitter account

You do understand that this is either some dude in his mom's basement or even a Russian trying to make things up.

[L. Coyote]

20. How about this one?

22. I would trust Claude Taylor more than Rogue Staff

Why wouldn't you post the most credible source to begin with??

[L. Coyote]

23. Someone is repeating Claude without due credit, it seems. Meanwhile:

[hamsterjill]

17. Oh hell no, this isn't true.

We won't get off THAT easily with this bastard. He's still got a few more lives to ruin before he gets ejected from office. He'll resign only when he knows he can't get away with anything else. And we are not THERE yet.

[MineralMan]

19. As wonderful as that might be, I think that tweet is bullshit.

Maybe I'll start a Twitter account as "White House Leaker" and post some rumors, too. No name, no credibility.

Pro tip: When you see "Some....are saying," what follows is almost certainly bullshit.

[cwydro]

25. And the gullible of DU will eat it up.

This blind faith in various twitter accounts is really hilarious, and pathetic.

[PJMcK]

33. Good tip

It's a verbal tic Trump uses all the time. "A lot of people are saying..." is one of his tells. So is his constant use of, "Believe me." That's when I know that what he's about to say is garbage.

[Orsino]

21. It probably crosses his mind daily, probably for a year or more.

I can believe it's now holding his attention for minutes at a time.

[Iggo]

24. Some are saying?

I thought we threw out that phrase with "Some are saying this is a terrorist fist-bump."

[burnbaby]

26. I'm betting

no but he doesn't run for a second term

[KPN]

29. He's just looking for sympathy. F'ing insecure, narcissistic bastard!

[MFM008]

30. So much MORE negativity

To come. So little time......
