Even if he gets impeached, he will not go willingly. He will attempt another 1/6, or worse. By worse, he will order bombs dropped somewhere trying to start a war. No conscious, no morals, no ethics, desperate.
Our only hope is that he will not be obeyed.

He's really starting to embarrass them

(38,454 posts)He'll go down convinced the last 203 people on Truth Social and Facebook are his aRmY of supporters
He actually started on this trail, denying the increasing loss of support, when he stopped posting on X/Twitter

(703 posts)its seen as more realistic an option as it ever was. With elderly presidents, it has to be in the toolbox.

There was a joke going around after he lost in 2020 that there wouldve needed a swat team to get him out of the WH
I actually think that might be required this time

Fiendish Thingy
(21,600 posts)If somehow he is successfully impeached and convicted, a new president will be sworn in and become CIC. If not following impeachment, then on 1/20/29.
Trump will be removed, by force if necessary, and he cant do anything about it.

I predict (based on nothing concrete) that he may be forced to resign by Republicons (if he doesn't crash health-wise first). He could give up surprisingly easily because he will know he's cornered. If charges are brought, he'll try to get a pardon from Vance. Or escape to Saudi Arabia. If he tries any revenge action, nobody will obey his orders. I think there's a good chance Epstein will do him in.
At any rate, I believe Vance is unfortunately the next president, well before 2028. Vance is measuring the curtains...
(PS--After posting this I was reading in GD, and I see that Mineral Man posted this resignation theory earlier... )

(16,951 posts)then he has no authority to order anything, even if he refuses to leave, the military won't obey an order from him to attack anything, it would be an illegal order.
