75. There will be no resignation. Ever.

Fri Nov 14, 2025, 01:18 PM

Nov 14

He will make Congress impeach/convict him. He will dare them. And while they are doing that he will burn everything down and tell his 25% base to not support Republicans.

Republicans--and unfortunately those of us who aren't Republicans--are stuck with him.

Krasnov will die proclaiming his innocence. gab13by13 Nov 14 #1

I don't know. I've always imagined a "Weekend at Bernie's" scenario where they prop Trump up as he rots. Vinca Nov 14 #2

Isn't that Katcat Nov 14 #21

I think he will resign also. Too many things happening that show he is incompetent and, of course, a liar beyond OLDMDDEM Nov 14 #3

A pardon won't stop the State prosecutions Bluestocking Nov 14 #4

He looks terrible lately. I think you could be right about resigning for health reasons. beaglelover Nov 14 #5

He does, doesn't he? MineralMan Nov 14 #7

He has, true - soldierant Nov 14 #118

Lately? MorbidButterflyTat Nov 14 #87

Plausible but not so fast? imanamerican63 Nov 14 #8

A Self Pardon Is Sketchy at Best. Not Sure Enough to Rely on. MineralMan Nov 14 #10

Right, butttt! It is Trump? imanamerican63 Nov 14 #14

He can try to declare Martial Law all he wants, MarineCombatEngineer Nov 14 #16

I won't believe until I see it. He will take us all down with him if he can. themaguffin Nov 14 #9

I don't think he can do that. MineralMan Nov 14 #11

"Once he loses the support of enough Republicans in Congress, he's done" LudwigPastorius Nov 14 #78

They'll have to sign his resignation using the Autopen, then spirit him away, drugged and in a straitjacket. sop Nov 14 #12

Don will not obnoxiousdrunk Nov 14 #20

"Don," eh? Sounds like you know him well... MineralMan Nov 14 #25

No, I think that might have been a play on words. As in Mafia 'Don.' n/t PatrickforB Nov 14 #89

Oh sure he will! He's a TACO. No one knows cowardess as well as he does. Nobody in the world knows it like he does. marble falls Nov 14 #28

It will take a lot more than a pardon. We know he can be bought. We know he'll want the biggest golden wiggs Nov 14 #22

Oh...forgot one thing. Even though he hasn't read Catch-22, he'll want us all to be wiggs Nov 14 #23

Remember... GiqueCee Nov 14 #31

Perhaps he will resign to stop the Epstein investigation Keepthesoulalive Nov 14 #24

Would Trump resigning, stop the investigation? karynnj Nov 14 #92

Yes. Just as I said. MineralMan Nov 14 #36

Nixon/Ford homegirl Nov 14 #39

My guess is odins folly Nov 14 #50

Hopefully before he razes the West Wing. TommyT139 Nov 14 #37

Trump has been homegirl Nov 14 #38

Yes, he is that, for sure. MineralMan Nov 14 #41

I don't think in his demented mind he will ever give up the presidency. GoodRaisin Nov 14 #40

I don't think even he could pull that off, frankly. MineralMan Nov 14 #42

The obvious question is who is going to stop him? GoodRaisin Nov 14 #111

We shall see oh wise one. You did give me an idea for a comment to Orrex in the a.m. twodogsbarking Nov 14 #43

Wise one or wise guy? I'm never sure... MineralMan Nov 14 #45

You can be both and you are. See. twodogsbarking Nov 14 #48

He is a narcissist and will never admit guilt. kellytore Nov 14 #46

Not necessarily. He can just transfer blame and quit in a huff. MineralMan Nov 14 #63

Or a minute and a huff... PopArtMonkey Nov 15 #130

Normally I could see that but Trump never signals quitting or not being a perfect being. underpants Nov 14 #47

He does have a pretty thick veneer on him. MineralMan Nov 14 #49

Not necessarily. Seinan Sensei Nov 14 #121

Repubs are thinking, "If Vance would just hook up with that Kirk woman we might keep the cult united." -nt CrispyQ Nov 14 #81

He will have to be dead before he is gone in my opinion Beringia Nov 14 #53

See, I don't think he has enough moxie to tough it out. MineralMan Nov 14 #55

We shall see Beringia Nov 14 #119

Sorry but unless he strokes out we are stuck with the pedo Pres for the next few years. Nt yaesu Nov 14 #54

no matter the date he will hand it to - Nigrum Cattus Nov 14 #59

The excuse might be to spend more time with his family.... rzemanfl Nov 14 #60

Nobody would believe that. MineralMan Nov 14 #64

Both parts? rzemanfl Nov 14 #67

You are correct. The sons' involvement in American Bitcoin Corp is just one of many grifts. John1956PA Nov 15 #129

If the midterms result in a big blue wave Deminpenn Nov 14 #61

Maybe. But why would Vance need to pardon him? Or want to? Ocelot II Nov 14 #62

Hmm... MineralMan Nov 14 #72

Whether Vance might want to risk Ford's fate would depend on how far Trump has fallen by then Ocelot II Nov 14 #77

Trump has committed so many crimes that there's no way he can remember them all to pardon them away. W_HAMILTON Nov 14 #65

Good point! MorbidButterflyTat Nov 14 #97

I like your optimism 🤞 CentralMass Nov 14 #66

It's a Stihl. Guaranteed to start on the first pull. MineralMan Nov 14 #82

Would Trump trust Vance enough to actually relinquish the power? JustABozoOnThisBus Nov 14 #85

Can't he or hasn't he pardoned himself ? And he wouldn't admit to health issues JI7 Nov 14 #86

I think he is incapable of that degree of trust (in Vance, in anybody). RockRaven Nov 14 #88

I am gonna Traildogbob Nov 14 #91

I suppose it could happen -- it did with Nixon -- but it's certainly not going to happen in the next seven weeks, rsdsharp Nov 14 #93
