His family knows he has "lost it"

[Stuart G]

.....I think he will resign soon..........

If, and I say if.....the family cares about him,and if the family can talk him into it, for his own good, then they will get him to resign very soon. The anger is beyond sensible and destructive to him. The family knows it, and is totally aware of it. "Soon" in my opinion is within the next two weeks. Why? This is destroying him and his brand, forever...by leaving and issuing an apology, (not much of one, but something) he will try to save the brand for his children.. And perhaps save himself.
...Of course, most will say. "very remote chance" and " impossible" True, but this whole thing, including his election and the rest of it, is unlikely, very remote chance, and not possible.
.Well, his resignation is possible, and could happen soon.

1. His family is just as clueless as him. Don't look to Jared and Ivanka to do the right thing. Their

mantra is : me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.....

[shanny]

18. Which is why this would make any sense at all:

me me me is all about the Trump brand and their own future prospects.

They are morally bankrupt and ethically clueless so they certainly won't do the right thing for the right reasons. But they might do it for the wrong ones (personally, I fervently hope that the situation has already gone too far for them to recover the "brand&quot .

31. If Muller uncovers financial crimes the inheritance goes poof

There may well be a point where Trump is convinced that resignation is the only way to keep his money and real estate.

[SHRED]

2. And give up pardon power?

[bdamomma]

3. God I hope so

he is tearing this country apart.

[Dave Starsky]

4. He's already utterly destroyed the family brand.

They have no life boat and must therefore ride this sinking ship to the very bottom.

5. Oh no, they won't. Daddy holds the purse strings. Daddy will write them out of the will in a second

and they know it.

Right now, they are hiding under the blankets, hoping ANYONE ELSE will dig him out of his own trench.

This is how regular families work, and if you're lucky enough to have one, you know I'm right.

The person with the money makes ALL the calls, unless and until anyone else gives up rights to the money.

And money is the only thing these morons value.

[Stuart G]

6. You may be correct, but perhaps, another path is possible.

Given this one fact, anything in history is possible..

[HopeAgain]

10. Yup, they are as warped as him

rotting apples under the diseased tree.

[WinkyDink]

12. Jared's family could buy and sell Trump ten times over. Ivanka married true wealth.

[lindysalsagal]

13. That will be a little harder if he's in prison, too.

If fRump had the capacity to care about anyone, or the brains to understand anything, he'd hire a lawyer to back him out of the job, get everyone pardoned, and plea for no jail time, with or without his businesses, and go live in scotland forever.

Not. Holding. My. Breath.

28. The Scots think he's a spent piece of human jet trash.

They'll want nothing to do with him. He might be able to sequester himself on his golf course, but he won't be welcomed anywhere else.

[JohnnyLib2]

20. I sure agree with your points.

None of his family have shown any inclination at all to "give up the money." I think we would have heard rumors of any possible Trump defectors by now, and there hasn't been anything at all.

Family-wise, that only leaves the possibility of part of the family deciding to save themselves, maybe through plea bargaining. Jared?

[tanyev]

7. I wondered why that didn't happen during the campaign.

I then concluded they are either wrapped up in the delusion with him, or they figure if he goes down, they can get to the serious business of dividing up the assets.

[WinkyDink]

8. Way too late for "The Brand." Ivanka best re-name everything using first names only.

[ginnyinWI]

9. To me, anybody with integrity and love of country

would either resign or get him to resign (or get him thrown out). It might be that the true patriots would want to stay on for the love of and future of the country--not turn it over to Trump and his ilk.

So that leaves trying to remove him, by threats or force. He's toxic.

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. LOL. He's not going to resign

Good Lord.

14. TYT..predicts that Trump will resign "soon"

This was posted one minute ago in Video and Multimedia Forum ( I did not get this idea from them,,I can't watch them, I got not cable...also, I have been here for awhile this morning)

15. But-The Beautiful Statues!

Donald J. Trump?Verified account @realDonaldTrump
Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments.

[democratisphere]

16. drumpf's family is completely inept.

[Stuart G]

17. Perhaps, but by getting him to resign, the family will try to save.."all of them"

Survival is a vey powerful idea.

[democratisphere]

19. Resigning is not "winning" and I believe no one will be able

to convince him to do it. I do wonder what's up with the urgent Camp David meeting this weekend.

[librechik]

21. I'm sure the family is well aware of Don's condition and

have suffered the abuse that comes with it for their whole lives. Unfortunately the secondary psychotics in the family are locked in a cycle that is very difficult to break, even if you desperately want to escape. The primary convinces everyone that their well being depends on Don alone, and they rush to keep him sated because a bellowing angry Daddy Don is a terrifying monster indeed, especially for kids. But they must keep that secret, for everybody's sake.

[leftstreet]

23. +1

[L. Coyote]

22. Quite soon I agree. Trump is so stick-a-pitchfork-in-him done already. Only question, Which excuse?

Spend more time with family is overused and a poor fit. Dementia is my top prediction because it elicits sympathy and displaced blame.

Trump has completely marginalized himself politically at this point and even the Republicans now want him gone.

[R B Garr]

24. As far as the "brand", they have overseas markets to sustain them.

They are anti-America at this point anyways. Ivanka got her China patents approved. They have other markets and don't really need the U.S. Donald just wanted to get in and get his way with the sanctions, etc., so they can do business with Russia.

They don't care about the brand in the U.S.

I've thought he would resign, too, so I can see what you're saying. I do think he'll wind up resigning.

[lpbk2713]

25. He's alienated himself from everyone.

All he cares about now is golf and tweeting.
No one can even approach him any more.
Outside intervention seems a lot less likely.

[Guilded Lilly]

26. You are assuming there is a soul within him or the family. There isn't.

[berksdem]

27. i believe it was mentioned

on this board before... He is not going to resign. He will not give up the power to pardon. His family and his base are delusional about his popularity. The shit-show will continue....

[sarcasmo]

29. Barron and Tiffany should change last names.

[oxbow]

30. They are already running away from the trump brand

The kids use the brand "scion" for their hotels and properties. The new budget hotels for working class people are called "American idea". They are not using the trump name anymore, because they know it's toxic unless you're trying to get a Saudi prince or a Russian mobster.

He may yet resign but I feel it will be more for health reasons than for financial ones.
