Wow...the words "Trump will resign" sure are popping up a lot lately online

For the first time in two years, I'm seeing more people than ever before saying: "Trump will resign". It started shortly after the midterms and I'm hearing it more and more today in new article comments, radio, tv.

Could it be?

I must confess that I never thought Trump would resign. Not because of anything positive--but because Trump is an egomaniac with sky-high narcissism. However, as it stands, more and more people seem to think he WILL resign.

Is it possible? Could this all be stressful enough to override his ego and cause him to drop out? It does seem like quite a sh!tshow awaits him in January and he's already losing his mind just over what's happening now. The show hasn't even started yet and he's already flying off the handle and having meltdown after meltdown.

I always thought he'd have to be kicked out of that White House, kicking and screaming, but now I'm wondering if I could be wrong--if even an ego of his magnitude has its limits.

What do you think? Do you think the orange hog will resign?

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

I don't know how anyone except him could possibly know. Unless he's floating the idea himself, it's all just wishful speculation.

Who are the sources? People close to him familiar with his thinking or random pundits and adversaries? If it's the latter, I don't see any reason to not take it with grains of salt.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I agree.

Unless Mueller is working out some sort of deal with him, which involves his kids (like sending Diapers and Ivanka to jail if he doesn't resign) ?

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

But Mueller doesn't leak. So anything like that would be coming from defense attorneys or family members in his camp. That goes back to looking to who the sources are. If it's all coming from Dem opponents and media adversaries, I don't see how anyone can take them seriously.

I'm also personally skeptical that a story as big as Mueller's team negotiating Trump's resignation that involved his kids wouldn't end up leaking somehow. At minimum it'd be strategically leaked to propagandists in conservative media who would run stories about Mueller plotting a coup attempt. It would lay the groundwork and justification for Whitaker to fire him and interfere in the proceedings before it happened.

Excellent points.

Let's just hope that if T-rump hears 'he's resigning' often enough this coming week, he will believe it - and do it. We will have so much to be grateful for at Thanksgiving. LOL

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

Cheers to that!

no deal on good news still did not go to arlington on veterans day hide in white house

[–] Thrillhouse (1509) 5 years ago

Wow you think it could be true? I mean I know it wasn't true before when people said it in 2016 and I'm glad you didn't fall for that because it means you might be right about it now. It all makes sense.

[–] FishGottoSwim (473) 5 years ago

I DEFINITELY think that Trump will resign.

He never wanted the job in the 1st place. His thing was sniping from the cheap seats, not actually PRODUCING anything. Sure, he can produce a LOT of bullshit & hot air, but that. is. all.

The only time he gets any 'love' is when he holds his own rallies.

He's not invited to weddings, he's been disinvited to FUNERALS, he's not going to the Kennedy Center Honors.

He's not high brow. He's low. It's not like he's hosting YoYo Ma or Pablo Casals at the Trump White House. Lin-Manuel Miranda isn't trying out his new play at the Trump White House. No. Trump gets Kid Rock & Ted Nugent & their idea of FUN is posing in front of Hillary's portrait & making silly faces.

Drip, drip, drip - all his "friends" are leaving him but TICK...TICK...TICK... here comes MUELLER!

Nope. He'll resign. He'll claim Melania is sick or something. He'll declare Victory -(& even the pro-Trump crowd who hears him say this will break into laughter)

No. Trump will take his ball & go home*** Before he goes, he'll attack the Free Press, our Free Elections, our system of Law & Order, he'll blast the courts & even SCOTUS decisions. Scorched earth.

Home? Where? Not welcome in Trump Tower. So where will he go? To Mar-A-LaGOFUCK YOURSELF?

[–] dteam6 (5073) 5 years ago

I hope you're right. I'm still skeptical on whether he'll leave or not but it does seem that, at the very least, there is hope--ESPECIALLY with how much he's freaking already and the dems haven't even started yet.

[–] FishGottoSwim (473) 5 years ago

He's either going to resign or die.

He's a 72 year old obese man who eats garbage, sleeps 4 hours a night, rages another 4 & he's probably on amphetamines. (No one sniffs that much without some sort of bump...)

It's quite possible that he almost did pull an Elvis & die on the toilet - covfefe! - but Mike Pence was all too happy to give him mouth to anus resuscitation.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

By the physical looks of him, I have thought (most recently) he would be leaving the White House in a pine box before 2020. However, I don't think he will resign - his ego is too fragile for him to resign.

[–] dteam6 (5073) 5 years ago

I don't know about you, but I swear his face looks redder and more bloated lately. He's also looking quite lethargic as of late.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

He does indeed - especially the past few days since returning from Paris. If anything, maybe it's his mental health which will do him in?

[–] dteam6 (5073) 5 years ago

Who knows. Remember the UK thing? Embarrassing. The moron was confused.

[–] Destinata (2662) 5 years ago

Why would Mike Pence give him resuscitation when -- if Trump dies -- Pence becomes President?

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

What makes you think Pence wants to be President? And inherit this mess, and try to restore the Republican Party? I think Pence is smart enough to know he's tainted already via association with this Presidency.

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

Seriously?

I think Pence VERY much wants to be president or he would have never accepted the VP slot in the first place.

He's certainly making some sounds lately like he does, like calling himself a "really big deal". lolz.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I don't know. I'm not convinced with him, especially wanting to be President. I think he likes be a distant VP.

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

I think he keeps his distant in order to try his best to avoid the taint so he can step in should trump resign or be impeached.

[–] Destinata (2662) 5 years ago

Well, there's always the possibility that he took the job with Trump simply because he didn't have a political future in Indiana and he wanted a cushier pension to fall back on in four years. But I think he took the job with the guy he DIDN'T endorse because the VP position has always been seen as a stepping stone to the presidency. Even Humphrey tried it.

Yes, he's tainted. But as I said, he threw his principles and his conservative cred -- such as they were -- under the bus to ride Trump's coattails. THAT'S how ambitious he is. I don't think he was merely ambitious for a better pension. Neither one of us is inside his head, so I could be wrong.

As for "restoring" the Republican Party, it's a little like what Obama did to the Democrat Party. As Bill Clinton pointed out, to win they needed to go after the average American, rather than the new coalition that Obama had forged. Diehard Dems will vote for the next Democrat because their daddy was a Democrat and they've always voted Democrat. But the Dem Party didn't take Bill's advice, and they've lost Joe Sixpack to the Republicans. There was a big discussion amongst the conservatives on Twitter -- Dems are now like the European Socialists. Conservatives have no place else to go. They'll hold their nose and vote for the GOP candidate to counter socialism.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

In the past two presidencies l, neither Cheney nor Biden saw the VP position as a stepping stone to the Presidency. I still have my doubts about Pence.

[–] Destinata (2662) 5 years ago

Cheney's health wasn't up to it and Biden's son was dying. Even so, Biden gave serious thought to entering the race. But it was supposed to be Hillary's "turn."

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Well with the news of the past 24 hours of T-rump considering a new running mate for 2020 (if he survives), looks like Pence won't have to worry about being the VP running for President in 2024 after all.

[–] Destinata (2662) 5 years ago

He didn't want Pence to begin with. Folks told him he had to look more like a conservative to please the rank and file, and Pence was their "more conservative" pick. But I just looked up your allegation, and saw AP has now confirmed that Pence will be his running mate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa0xK4Okb1o

Perhaps I should have warned you that you'd have to hear Trump himself. And naturally, yes, he's bragging on himself. Again. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I think he needs to concentrate on not getting indicted, frankly.

[–] dteam6 (5073) 5 years ago

I'm surprised he's lived this long, to be honest.

[–] Destinata (2662) 5 years ago

If he were doing his job, I think the stress would be too much. But he's golfing, holding rallies, spending time at his resorts that now charge twice as much just because he's Prez -- the only thing that's stressful for him is that he's got a thin skin.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

A lot of people didn't think he'd make it to the 100 day mark but he proved them wrong. Like him or hate him Trump has been doubted every step of the political process and to date he has managed to survive. He may be impeached and removed from office or he may be voted out in 2020, but in my opinion I think he'd be dragged out kicking and screaming long before he'd ever resign.

[–] whynotwriteme (7157) 5 years ago

Have you been hiding in a cave deep in the forest with no internet or access to news of any kind for two years? Trump has been "about to resign" or "about to be impeached", according to the news sources, every single day since he took office.

[–] dlancer (2036) 5 years ago

I could only see it if it saves him from embarrassment. Problem is we've seen him embarrass himself so often that we don't know where the threshold is or if one exists.

[–] Destinata (2662) 5 years ago

He's the little boy that no matter how much attention he got, he had to have more. He finally got his own reality show. Smart people all noticed that the big dogs of business were far too busy to become reality show stars, but he could. He wanted to be famous. He wanted people to believe he was Midas. He didn't even mind if you thought he was the richest man in the world...although when the really rich people got together, he knew he wouldn't even be invited to clean the ashtrays and get the drinks.

How to get the people to Kowtow to him whose respect he really wanted? Become President. It's the ultimate reality show, and so long as you can get a good team to run it for you, you're just a figurehead. It doesn't hurt the family "brand," and in fact it can turn into a goldmine.

Trust me, Donald Trump isn't resigning -- he leaves the White House with his claw marks all over it.

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

I actually quite agree with you on this. I don't see it happening either.

[–] dteam6 (5073) 5 years ago

You're probably right. Sad, really.

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

The moment he resigns he loses indemnity from prosecution and his pardoning power. That's incentive enough for him to want to stay president forever.

[–] dteam6 (5073) 5 years ago

You have an interesting view on things here--what do you personally think is going to happen when all's said and done? What do you think will happen once dems start up in the house and do you think Trump will finish his term/be re-elected?

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

Now that there will be real oversight in the House I'm certain there's a ton of dirt and corruption they'll uncover that *should* lead to his electoral defeat in 2020 assuming Dems nominate a decent and qualified candidate up for the job. First item on the agenda are his tax returns. That should be a goldmine.

But, unless Mueller releases an utterly damning report to congress containing indisputable evidence of conspiring with Putin, there's practically zero chance of a successful impeachment that would require 67 votes in the Senate.

Regardless, it still might be politically advantageous for House Dems to move forward with Articles of Impeachment anyway to force a show trial in the Senate. They shouldn't do this until Mueller releases his report/recommendation and ideally when the reams of dirt and scandal they're bound to uncover reaches a tipping point with the public that will apply hard pressure on those Senate Republicans to impeach even though they won't. That way they can maximize political advantage in 2020 both with the presidency and with vulnerable GOP Senators in congress that will be up for re-election.

I don't see him getting impeached but I do see favorable environment to take him out in 2020 if Dems play their cards right. But that's always a big IF with the Democrats. They're always their own worst enemies.

[–] dteam6 (5073) 5 years ago

Hm--sounds rather bleak but I wouldn't be surprised if what you said comes true. The reality here is that NOTHING that could ever be revealed about Trump would turn his loyalists away from him--NOTHING.

Still--the thought of at least two more years of this orange turd just makes me sick.

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

Which is why, short of damning evidence uncovered on trump, Republicans will never vote to impeach. They'd never risk their own seats to do the right thing. Our system is broken.
