40. I started a thread, maybe a week ago, in which I predicted Trump would resign.

Of course I don't know. Trump is unpredictable. However, I do believe that he is not enjoying being president. I believe it is the most difficult time in his life. Yes, he is a narcissist, but the pressure he is under must be crushing him. We know how thin skinned he is, and everything he has tried to do has failed and has been met with criticism. He is a president without authority or respect and he knows it. I also believe that a man with such low ethics has much that can come out that will humiliate him. Something has to give. He will resign, commit suicide or have a heart attack because even though he is a total bastard, no human being, not even him can withstand this level of pressure for very long.
