Bookies offer even odds for Donald Trump being impeached while US President

After Donald Trump threw his hat in the ring for the White House, now speculators and pundits alike can participate in the national guessing game that is: How long will the President-elect last?

Mr Trump has frequently talked about the "next eight years", suggesting he will be re-elected in 2020, but the odds are literally stacked against him.

Ladbrokes said that odds he will be impeached or resign before his first term ends are 50-50.

Paddy Power is offering a more conservative 20 per cent chance that Mr Trump will be impeached in the first six months of his Presidency.

Trump knows where the skeletons are buried within the Repug Party. If they try and take him out through impeachment - he won't go quietly. He'll spill the beans and take them down with him.

And even if he doesn't know where the skeletons are - he'll make something up and lie.

The Repugs fear him and are stuck with him - and so are we.

... and they won't. I foresee him resigning instead, with a lot of sneering about how "I'm too good for this job" and "You ungrateful people don't deserve me."
