The big unanswered question concerning Trump. [View all]
How will he react when the mueller sledgehammer comes down upon him and his family? We all know Trump is mentally unstable and he is very hard to predict. I believe he will react in one of three ways.
He will look for a way out. He will quit. He will try to do it in a way where he will get no blame. Trump will do anything not to look bad or not to look like a failure. He will put the blame on others. Trump spent his entire life surrounded by lawyers in the New York business world. He learned he could get over on people. He could screw people over and get away with it. He has also shown he will fight until he knows he can't win and then he looks for a way out . He quits and moves on.
He could also move to end the investigation by pardoning everybody. This would be a dangerous move for him. It would set off a constitutional crisis. The calls for impeachment would be intense.
He could start a major war and grab power. This would be bad news for the entire world. It would be more difficult to impeach him during a time of war.
Trump has lived in a bubble his whole life. A bubble where he learned he could get away with almost anything by using his money and lawyers. When things got bad, when he failed he always found a way out. Its all he knows.
He no longer lives in that bubble. His money and lawyers cannot save him. He will be afraid and cornered.
I believe and hope he will quit. Congress should look for a way for him to quit and where he can save face so he doesn't go nuts.
