Just passing along. Standard caveats, etc.

BREAKING: Some staffers are saying @realDonaldTrump is considering resignation. Can't take the negativity anymore

He was indeed talking to people about this in today.

1. Can His Winning Ego Take A Resignation?.....

In one respect - he'll be remembered as a complete failure - and I don't think he could handle that.

In another respect - he might rationalize it by saying his resignation would truly 'Make America Great Again'!!!!!

[yodermon]

2. He could be arrested upon resignation, I'm sure he will be informed of this. n/t

[Madam45for2923]

34. Same reason Putin cannot let go of the Russian Presidency. He'd be Kaput-in.

[Demsrule86]

66. He could face criminal charges if doesn't resign...the courts ruled that Clinton was not above the

law during the 90's. That ruling still stands. Isn't it interesting that so much the GOP did to get at Dems is coming back to haunt them?

[NanceGreggs]

6. More to the point ...

... can his ego take any more of the non-stop, 24/7 criticism?

He's also stupid enough to believe that if he leaves office, the investigations into his Russian ties will all magically go away.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

23. I think his ego REQUIRES a resignation before it becomes obvious what a failure he really is.

(Obvious to his fans)

The Fronline piece on him covered his ability to self delude himself in to believing his failures (multiple bankruptcies) are actually wins.

He'll resign and brag about what a great job he did and how we aren't worthy of his efforts.

[complain jane]

50. His Winning Ego declared bankruptcy numerous times.

It would probably accept resignation of the office in a temper tantrum, declaring the US undeserving of his greatness. Or declaring he made America great again and now he's all done.

[Motownman78]

3. Sigh,

I am really starting to get "Mensch Fatigue". I don't give a hoot if this woman is a former MP, I very highly doubt she has connections that close in the WH.

[yodermon]

4. I totally get that. Her feed is like a train wreck, hard for me to look away lol n/t

[davsand]

10. You can hide threads on DU if you don't want to see them.

Given your low post total I thought maybe you might not realize that.

[titaniumsalute]

35. Well I have a higher post count

and I agree with the Mensch fatigue. Lots and LOTS of Tweets...but nothing of real substance. Even her attorney has called her out? Hey the National Enquirer sells a lot of copies also.

[enid602]

40. Louise

Maybe Louise Mensch IS Donald J. Trump. Sort of like Maureen McGuiver or John Baron. Hmmm. . .

[titaniumsalute]

48. LOL...maybe she is Rogue POTUS staff?? Good thought

[MineralMan]

46. Look at my post count. I agree that

these rumor-mongerers should not be paid much attention.

[davsand]

47. Pretty sure you've been here ong enough to know you can hide stuff!

LOL!

I find that hide thread feature a HUGE help on here sometimes. I am at a point personally that I hide any thread that I think is re-hashing the last election. I haven't hit that point yet with Louise, but if I do I'll hide those threads, too. I don't take anything as gospel anymore because there is SO MUCH of the news that is so spectacularly insane it's mind blowing. We are living in strange times, and anything that helps make it possible to cope with it is a good thing.

54. +1

she is a loon just like Trump.

[Jarqui]

5. Talk is cheap.

His lawyer will be telling him to hang in for a pardon.

The problem with trying to haggle a pardon is you need to do it with someone who is going to be around and still in power after the house cleaning. With maybe as many as 70 indictments - all around the GOP, that could well be a much bigger problem than what Nixon faced to pull off a pardon. Particularly today, when there will be even less appetite in the court of public opinion to allow it.

[pnwmom]

26. He can't get a Federal pardon from state prosecutions. I think his goose is cooked. n/t

[former9thward]

41. State prosecutions for what exactly?

What are your tweets telling you?

[pnwmom]

57. The domestic emoluments clause, for example. There are two emoluments clauses;

one for taking foreign emoluments, and one for domestic. Because he has businesses domiciled in NY, the NY state attorney general has jurisdiction.

And there are questions concerning real estate deals, both involving him and Manafort. Here's something reported today by NBC:

[Kingofalldems]

61. Forget state for now---we have Obstruction of Justice

Witnessed by the head of the FBI. Oops.

[former9thward]

64. Internet lawyers.

I love them.

[Marie Marie]

7. Could be. That is what man babies do.

When things get tough and they don't get their way, they take their ball and go home (or go golfing - whichever.)

[still_one]

8. bullshit. He won't resign

[Alice11111]

19. Not in his DNA, unless he's backed into a corner w no choice. He's already campaigning for 2020!

[still_one]

22. exactly Alice

[Txbluedog]

43. He's not campaigning for 2020

He's grifting his supporters before they become disillusioned and close their pocketbooks

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. I'll believe that when I see it.

His ego won't let him do that unless he can come up with a way to blame somebody else. The other thing is that it's generally accepted that a sitting president can't be prosecuted for a crime, but once he becomes a private citizen he'd better lawyer up. Of course, Pence could pardon him, but Pence should first ask the ghost of Gerald Ford how pardoning a criminal president affected his re-election prospects.

[No Vested Interest]

11. Message deleted by DU the Administrators

[Binkie The Clown]

12. As I recall there was an identical rumor a couple months ago.

Trump is probably just letting off steam by "threatening" to resign. You whould know by now that you can't take anything he says seriously.

[manicraven]

15. Completely off topic and confusing post, too.

[uppityperson]

16. I have heard learning about bird songs is a good hobby. Swallows especially are something.

[justhanginon]

37. Too funny!

[stopbush]

14. The problem is that tRump may well be thinking of resigning, and he may

actually resign.

But tRump being tRump, he also thinks that he could unresign and go back to being our fake POTUS whenever he wanted.

[world wide wally]

17. Maybe he'll get a note from his reputable Doctor that he has to retire because he is working too har

[LisaM]

25. Ha ha ha....yup.

That is actually his exit card.

[politicaljunkie41910]

59. I was thinking the same thing. Get the looney doctor to write him another note.

[msongs]

18. more wild conspiracy theories on DU nt

[Trust Buster]

20. Doesn't this Mensch character have to be right about something first before she is deserved of

credibility ?

[pnwmom]

27. She was the first person to report on the FISA warrant on the Russian banks last October.

The BBC and The Guardian confirmed the story, followed by McClatchy.

[Orrex]

44. Anything since then?

Even the execrable Bill Maher gets it right more than once every seven months...

[pnwmom]

55. Yes. nt

[Orrex]

56. Oh. nt

[moonscape]

21. Frustrated venting. He's not going anywhere on his own volition.

And yeah, I've been over Mensch for quite a while.

[Kablooie]

24. Trump can't tell the truth so I'd say he's probably lying...

Except he might see the best way out of this would be to run away so it might be true.
If he resigned though he would not be president so would be able to be arrested and imprisoned.

Interesting legal question...
if he blabs intel as president it's not illegal technically because he decides what's classified or not.
After becoming a civilian again could he be charged for revealing intel while president?

[democratisphere]

28. Don't believe it for a second.

The only way drumpf will be leaving is with him kicking and screaming and blaming everyone else under the sun.

[AllaN01Bear]

30. cant stand the heat eh?

if true,

buy buy trump. also found the tweet was inconclusive that it was saying that dRumo is reszining or staffers are resigning . need input please . thaniks.

[Happyhippychick]

31. So much winning....

[Oneironaut]

32. These people are both fake. They throw up stories that might happen,

pretending to have credibility. Of course there is a higher chance now that Trump might resign - knowing that is common sense. This doesn't really tell us anything that anyone couldn't surmise from the last 24 hours.

[titaniumsalute]

33. My magic eight ball also told me

Please STOP with the Rogue Account BS. It is some dude sitting in his mom's basement trying to fool everyone.

And Louise Mensch...well...

[Mr. Ected]

36. Maybe he checked his body's power levels and discovered he's at 9%

And since exercise only depletes the body's finite energy stores, he'd better get out of Washington and in that golf cart now before he's totally tapped.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

38. Louise Mensch?

Isn't she the one who claimed Russia bankrolled the Black Lives Matter protests in Ferguson?

Crazy RW conspiracy theorists have no place on DU.

[DefenseLawyer]

39. I could see Trump saying that.

"I don't need this grief. I should just quit." I can't see him actually doing it unless impeachment was imminent.

[mainstreetonce]

51. That is exactly what I was just going to post.

He's Mr. Bigtalk

[Blue_Tires]

42. I should have put money down on this

because it's playing out exactly how I predicted... Actually it's ahead of schedule...

[MineralMan]

45. More rumors and speculation from

bloggers who specialize in both. "some are saying...." "...talking to people..." Infallible tells for rumor-mongering.

[itcfish]

49. His Damage is Done

with the Executive Orders he signed. The republicans achieved their agenda

[mikeysnot]

52. This was the plan I feared all along.

Welcome president dence.

A far more conniving strongman to finish the job of destroying the us and turning it into a complete kleptocracy for the oligarchs, run by the plutocrat's.

[LOL Lib]

53. Don't fall for this bullshit

He would sooner blow up the earth than admit failure. Simply DO NOT BELIEVE THIS. We are being played for sympathy or to ease off the resistance!

[workinclasszero]

58. Perp walk is waiting Don the Con....

DO IT!

[WhiteTara]

60. He must be in the depression phase of his cycle

he'll be manic by nightfall. He'll forget that and figure out a way to hurt someone, have a good tweet and start all over again tomorrow.

[sarisataka]

62. Sources..

[MyNameGoesHere]

63. No. We need him for about another 10 months

When he resigns he takes the whole sewer with him, the longer the pig fucking repuke s have to own him the better.

[Demsrule86]

65. It is my opinion that he has been up to no good...money laundering, Russia collusion

And his family is involved as well...he isn't going to want the Senate Intelligence committee to look into his business dealings They sent for documents and will no doubt look at his taxes. I think he may resign...especially now with the Comey memo showing obstruction of Justice. He needs Pence or whoever to pardon him.

[AwakeAtLast]

67. Aaaarrggh! President Pence!

No! We need to be able to take them all down!
