While the cat's away, the mice do play.

While Trump is away for nine days, will some of the rats leave the sinking ship?

Will some White House aids resign before they are tarnished by hanging around until Trump's downfall?

Will insiders continue to leak damaging stories to the media?

Will there be a power play by those who have the most to gain by removing
Trump?

Will Pence or those supportive of Pence work to undermine Trump?

Is there a Pence coup in the works?

Will a delegation of Republicans ask for Trump to resign when he returns?

his paranoia must be at record levels right now. I don't see how he won't totally fuck up things on this trip, compounding his problems. Asshole.

Is there the slightest chance if the nation returned to that policy, he would stay away from the US until 2020?

Pay no attention to the pictures you may have seen of the fleet of moving vans gathering around the White House. It's nothing, really. Please continue spreading your Trumpy Goodness around the middle east.

Your Pal,
Mike

What worries me I doubt Trump himself will be taken alive and will have time to spread mayhem as his options dwindle.
