(6,395 posts)73. He know's the shit is about to hit the fan....
As long as he maintained control of Congress, he was safe in his mind.
But not only did he lose the House, he lost it on his own strategy. Ryan told him to run on the economy and he didn't. He fired Comey witch brought on the Mueller investigation. And instead of ignoring the investigation, he kept bringing it up and keeping it fresh in everyone's minds. Top that off, the Senate should have been a "Red Wave", one of the few times where the map favored the Presidential Incumbent...instead, barely maintained the status quo.
And his own son may be indicted. He knows he won't get a second term at minimum.
