Donald Trump knows he's in serious trouble

58. As his eggshell ego collapses, things could get even scarier...

Hard to imagine worse than the current level of insanity, but as he becomes more unhinged in the coming months, trumpublicans in the House and Senate may finally begin to face the reality that the felon is incapable of making the necessarily humiliating deal with Iran that will paint a giant L for Loser on his forehead.

If enough do, they could try to get him to resign for "health reasons" or some other face-saving escape from his monumental, criminal debacle. All bets are off at that point.

The thing is, the escalating global and domestic harms and chaos of the war are utterly unsustainable. But we have a guy in the WH who is constitutionally incapable of accepting a loss. He will continue to demand a "better deal" that doesn't mean recommitting to Obama's treaty, shoveling 10x the amount of money at them that Obama did, and an "environmental fee" (i.e., toll). But there is no better deal. There is no way out that isn't effectively a declaration of surrender and declaration that ripping up the treaty was beyond idiotic.

Sooner or later his "loyalists" will stop kidding themselves that the war will magically be resolved "any day now "

If they manage to push him out and J.D. makes the deal, he could be so pissed that the felon put him in that position that he releases all the Epstein files with Trump redactions removed.

Who the hell knows?

I sure don't, but these are strange times. And strange times breed unexpected turns of events.
