1. Are they locking him in a closet with a big mac, a large diet coke and no phone?

[C_U_L8R]

2. Anyone seen Hope Hicks?

[Cracklin Charlie]

3. Weird.

Just like the president.

[berni_mccoy]

4. The people in the WH are trying to convince Trump to resign.

[MineralMan]

5. You think so?

I don't know about that one.

[berni_mccoy]

7. I have a theory that Repubs would rather force him to resign

than be impeached. And if Democrats take the house, he will be impeached. And if they do take the house, the Republican house may very well impeach him or force his resignation in order to keep the executive in their party.

[MineralMan]

10. I seriously don't think it's gotten to that stage yet.

It may, but I don't think it has so far.

[berni_mccoy]

15. Probably not, but this has been a bad week for Repubs.

And I think the odds of getting to that stage before the election are really good... and if Repubs think that they may very well be wondering if the best thing for self preservation might be to force Trump to resign before then...

6. We can wish...

[Lindsay]

11. I'm afraid it's more likely

that they're plotting how much more they can steal and how much more they can destroy before someone or something puts a stop to it.

But I've never been known for my sunny optimism.

8. Cheetolini been pretty quiet...

...since the tweet Sunday admitting what the trump tower mtg was about...

[BumRushDaShow]

22. Unfortunately he hasn't been "quiet"

The Republicans have now won 8 out of 9 House Seats, yet if you listen to the Fake News Media you would think we are being clobbered. Why can’t they play it straight, so unfair to the Republican Party and in particular, your favorite President!

9. Being questioned by Special Council?

?

[GusBob]

18. This is most likely the reason

[fleur-de-lisa]

12. Perhaps they've scheduled a racy puppet show

or a jello-wrestling match with playboy bunnies or some other stupid event to keep the dumb mother fucker from tweeting out confessions to his crimes.

[dlk]

13. As the Manafort Trial Progresses & Mueller Investigation Continues...

Trump’s behavior will likely become more and more unhinged. He can’t help but see the walls closing in.

[SweetieD]

14. That Chris Collins news may have the WH spooked.

[gratuitous]

21. I think that took the wind out of their sails, for sure

It'll take at least the rest of the day to explain to Trump why insider trading is illegal.

[thbobby]

16. Just trump being a coward

When the going gets tough, cowards hide. That is all this is. No more, no less.

[kentuck]

17. Translated: He is conspiring to do something evil.

Like he asked Lindsey Graham about "20 times" about getting rid of Mueller?

Something like that.

[SharonClark]

19. Golfing again?

[elfin]

20. Spa Day? Botox? Hope Hour? or two?

[Garrett78]

23. I'd be fine with never seeing him again.
