for himself and his family?
That would not sit well with me, at all.
I think we need to have a plan ready in case the repubs try this. Trump should not be allowed to walk off into the sunset, with his criminal enterprises not only intact but prospering for the first time in decades due to the shady backroom deals and executive orders that he made during his fake presidency.

The feds can't guarantee immunity from prosecution on a state level. I'm fine with him resigning for federal immunity so long as he still goes to jail in NYS and gets stripped of his assets.
Make no mistake, I want that fucker GONE not only to get his stench out of the White House but to laugh at his nasty miserable supporters, whom I intend to fully pay back for all their nose-thumbing and "NYAAAAAH!" remarks since the Orange Asshole "won."
Yes, I know we still end up with Pence, but here's hoping his ass gets tangled up in the Russian investigation, as well as Ryan. That would throw what's left of the GOP into such a massive scandal they won't get jack shit done until 2018, we take the House then and block them until 2020, and we elect a Democrat then. The nightmare ends.

(115,669 posts)that protects his infinitely needy black hole of an ego. He won't resign under pressure from the GOP like Nixon did; he'll just dig in his heels. He always does the opposite of what someone tried to get him to do because YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!!! The only scenario I can imagine is one in which he declares that the presidency is too small and confining for him and his awesomeness so he'll quit and join forces with Bannon and Breitbart to form a media empire to counter all the FAKE NEWS about him and destroy everybody who was ever mean to him.

(11,686 posts)Now before you get your panties in a bunch let me tell you why I think it could be done.
You know how bills are done? You know the part when they are trying to get one thing passed but they have about 15 other things either related or not related alongside it?
The immunity would ONLY cover what he has done during the presidency that only has to do WITH the presidency. Everything else whether during the presidency or before would be considered personal and would be not excused from.
He will be expected to lay off all family members from any position that he put them into and they do not qualify for ANY pardon.
Any personal businesses that he profited from the presidency will need to be paid immediately in full to our treasury. I am only talking about the amount of money he gained from the moment he came into office. ( this includes what his evil spawn made also. )
He will forever be forbidden to run for ANY office that has to do with politics of running this country.
I can not think of other things to put into this resigning but like I said write it like they do bills and he be fucked because he can not get away from his crimes on the personal side.
That is just a thought.
