I predict (based on nothing concrete) that he may be forced to resign by Republicons (if he doesn't crash health-wise first). He could give up surprisingly easily because he will know he's cornered. If charges are brought, he'll try to get a pardon from Vance. Or escape to Saudi Arabia. If he tries any revenge action, nobody will obey his orders. I think there's a good chance Epstein will do him in.

At any rate, I believe Vance is unfortunately the next president, well before 2028. Vance is measuring the curtains...

(PS--After posting this I was reading in GD, and I see that Mineral Man posted this resignation theory earlier... )
