I happen to agree that this is probably the way Trump will leave office.
Heres What I Think Donald Trumps Ultimate Plan is Right Now

As much as I detest Donald Trump, hes a fantastic con man. Hes a master at identifying the types of people who are gullible enough to believe him, figuring out what they want to hear, and selling them on his endless stream of b.s. and lies.
As Trumps quoted as saying in his book, The Art of the Deal:
The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to peoples fantasies. People may not always think big themselves. but they can get very excited by those who do. That is why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest, the greatest and the most spectacular.
That quote is essentially the foundation for Trumps entire business and political career. It doesnt matter whats true, factual, or real just play on peoples emotions, no matter how dishonest you have to be while doing so, and hope that theyre naive enough to believe you.
While Trumps a skilled conman, his narcissism also drives him to portray himself as the perpetual victim. Nothing is ever his fault. If he fails, or something doesnt go his way, its because some nefarious force was out to get him. From the Emmys, to the GOP primary, the moment Trump starts to feel somethings not going his way, almost immediately, he starts to whine about things being rigged, unfair, fixed, or fake.
Every. Single. Time.

Hopefully the list of his 'high crimes and misdemeanors' will reveal exactly why he is being 'picked on,' and take some of the bluster out of his spiel.

And he can claim asylum on the grounds that he's being persecuted.
