That's exactly what will happen. Then President Pence which will be worse because he's a little smarter. He knows how government works and won't be as incompetent.

Of course Trump sold us out to the Russians so he may have to flee the country right into the arms of Putin.

6. I had this dream 4 times about his death
Fri May 19, 2017, 08:00 PM
May 2017

I have no idea why, but I dreamed 4 times that I was watching the tv news and it said 45 had just died of unnatural causes and they were looking into who had done it . He was still being called 'president' on that news show and it happened on the 19th. I did not know which month or year- just the 19th. Same dream every time. I also do not know what the 'unnatural causes' were. OMG I just realized today is the 19th lol. BUT it could be any month of any year he's in office & it also could just be a bullshit dream. I did have the feeling in my dream though that it was poison, but they did not say that on the tv news in my dream.

He doesn't want to be in jail. Pooty will take care of him. Give him a job shoveling the Kremlin driveway or soothing like that.

He wakes up in the middle of the night to indulge in a Twitter rant and have some Rocky Road ice cream. While headed down the hallway, his dainty foot becomes entangled in his overly long pure spun gold bathrobe cinch. He falls face first into the still wet Slip-N-Slide Jared and Ivanka had set up earlier and left there, and barrels head first into the wall, where an over-sized portrait of Andrew Jackson falls on him, rendering him presidentially impotent.

He'll quit try to pass himself off as a victim. He'll claim the investigations are becoming a distraction and wasting taxpayer money. And he'll find some way to blame the media.

And then he'll take his toys and go home.

Especially given his weight, lack of sleep, and his garbage in, garbage out diet, and the fact that he's a narcissistic rageaholic, it's only a matter of time.

In spite of claims to the contrary (conspiracy hat?), Gerald Ford was given the Vice Presidency with the understanding that he would pardon Nixon if the poop went down - and it did.

I just don't see this happening in this case because the charges are potentially much more serious than Nixon's obstruction problems.

At worst, the obstruction was over Nixon authorizing a break-in etc. Trump stands to be involved with treason in order to facilitate a multibillion dollar oil deal.

Nixon was a shady lawyer, Trump is like a James Bond supervillain.

Basically, if Trump were allowed to just *walk*, it would fucking prove Putin's point as to how corrupt our government + political system was. (and how it's no better than his kleptocracy)

He's a money-hungry coward who has to live large on taxpayer money. If he's impeached and removed from office, it will likely cost him a Presidential pension and Secret Service protection.
