In reply to the discussion: Ivanka Trump is reportedly under consideration to lead The World Bank [View all]friend of m and j
(220 posts)Several months ago I predicted that The Donald would force Spence to retire and give him a lifetime job as a Federal Judge and appoint Ivanka as Veep. My thinking was that would give him more protection from criminal charges or impeachment. If he thought that criminal charges or impeachment was inevitable and imminent, he would resign for "health reasons" and he could brag about all his accomplishments as President including creating the first female President of the US. It would also insure that his legacy and "Trump Brand" would extend into the foreseeable future.
But I think the flaw in that theory is that Ivanka would have to be approved by the Congress. But if Trump can survive in office until the 2020 election and run on a ticket with Ivanka as his VP and win the election the same principles would apply. He would resign in all his glory and Ivanka would grant him a pardon just in case.
As much as we here on DU hate and mistrust Trump it could happen (remember no one thought he would win in 2016). We all need to not jut talk but get off our asses and work hard to make sure Trump doesn't do it again.
