109. Exactly. And who can predict what will happen?

I've worked with psychopaths before, and they're always at least a step ahead of you. The is why every successful dictator outsmarted his opponents.

I've read over the last 4 years about the end of Trump.....voters, Never Trumpers, electors, Comey, FBI, 25A, Rosenstein, Mueller, whistle-blowers, tax returns, Russia, more whistle-blowers, indictments, tell all books, impeachment, SDNY +++....so I'll believe the end of Trump is here when I see it.

A psychopath's mind works differently. You cannot predict what they will do.

History is full of dictators who outsmarted the best experts. Predicting what they will do just gives you a false sense of security. Do all you can to get rid of him, but also prepare for the worst.
