Is there a certain dollar amount that Trump would accept to leave office?

Does anyone think there is a certain dollar amount that Trump would publicly accept (and, upon acceptance, would have to leave office immediately)?

I've been going back and forth on it, and haven't landed on a definitive answer.

Thoughts?

How much would he pay to make every one of his self-created problems go away?

would resign in year two.

Might he try to resign just before Nov 6 just to attempt to limit the damage the GOP on election day???

A poosible is candidate like Mike Pence.

8. At this point I don't think he is operating that way.

It's clear every time he speaks that he wants...nay....EXPECTS...everyone to KNOW or at least acknowledge he is the greatest at presidentin' ever, as in ever forever ever ever momcanihaveapeanutbutterandjellysammichwithgoldonit please?

It seriously wounds him when he is made aware that there are people who don't think he is just simply wonderful. I mean...he's done great things, but the fake news media doesn't tell anyone about it.

WHY? WHY?

He is so wonderful, and if you listen, HE WILL FUCKING TELL YOU, AD NAUSEUM.

It isn't about the money any longer (at least, I don't think so), though that is a huge part for him - he loves to tell people how rich he is.

Now it's about adulation, and it FUCKING PISSES HIM OFF that his approval ratings aren't in the 90's. He wants everybody to love him because he thinks he deserves it, and he thinks he is the bestest president ever because he ......did something no one ever did. Like make an enemy out of fucking Canada, for fucks sake. He has such a tiny amount of self esteem, that thinking the contrary just makes him mad.

I could see him taking $500M or so, and claiming that MANY PEOPLE told him, "SIR, you deserve the money for all of the "good" you've done for America" (or other such nonsense).

Mr. President, you can have my offer now if you'd like...
My offer is this....NOTHING...not even the fee for cleaning the White House, which I would appreciate if you would pay for that yourself...

12. I think the promise of a pardon from Pence would do the trick. But that won't come until

after the empty SC seat is filled. I think they all want him out but stacking the court is priority one.

His narcissism will prevent him from leaving. They will drag him out kicking and screaming, after he has started a war and has destroyed the US for doing this to him. He is very, very vengeful.
