It seems obvious to me that he will not be President of the U.S. when this is all said and done. Resignation or impeachment is going to happen. Do you think he has a clue? Do you think that is definite, or can he weasel his way out of this too. I think he will be gone by Jan 1, 2020, one way or another.

One can only ignore the stench of a rotting corpse for so long. And Trump is stinking up everything he comes near. How Minneapolis recovers on the 10th is beyond me.

I don't know whether to be entertained or scared, watch his increasing hysteria

In Trump's world, he is better-informed and smarter than everyone who tries to advise him - or, in this case, tries to acquaint him with reality.
Probably the only person who can get through to him at this point is Ivanka - and whether she has attempted to even broach the subject with him is an unknown.
His paranoia level must be at an all-time high right now, and he is undoubtedly ready to dismiss any actual advice from those around him not as honest counsel, but as proof of disloyalty.

(21,995 posts)That made me laugh because it immediately made me remember this adage:
"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't after you."
Trump's inner dialogue must be cacophony of noise where his attention is ping-ponging all around that orange melon.

(5,810 posts)But like all folks who have the brand of narcissism he displays daily, he thinks he can beat this rap. With his superior intellect, he can be victorious over his detractors.
So he knows but expects to ultimately win and oh, by the way, everyone loves him. No matter what the fake polls say. SO sez tRump.

(3,678 posts)Fox News having a bunch of people talking about how bad this is for him may be the primary driver of his insanity. It's not like he listens to his competent lawyers...

(18,609 posts)It's going to be a wild, unpleasant ride until January.
He will contest every election that came anywhere close and will refuse to plan any kind of transition.
Trump will probably gut every department he can and break as much of the government as possible before the new president arrives.
They will have a government in total disarray on his/her first day.
The new president won't be able to address any of the nation's problems until they have a government up and running again and that could take a long time.
That's why I kind of think Biden could be the best choice for this particular election. He has the most experience and may be the best for restoring a totally broken and dissipated government.

(14,565 posts)That is a massive underdog. In fact, Predictit has that exact prop right now: Trump is 86/14 to still be president at the end of 2019.
I think that 86 is too low. If forced to play I would certainly play the 86 and not the 14.
Nobody ever went broke betting against overreaction to recency.

(25,816 posts)Keep in mind that he's a total narcissist. In his mind it's a handful of bad people who are putting bad things out there about him. He is still the smartest person in the room (in his mind) and he honestly cannot understand why anyone out there doesn't love him and appreciate all of the wonderful things he's done for this country.
