If he wasn't facing jail otherwise, I think he would have resigned by now.

Quit the chess match, scatter the chessmen, shit on the board, and stomp away in a huff. That's his MO every time he fails. Which is every time.

There's a part of me that wishes he would quit in a frenzy of irrational fury, and then get frog-marched out to prison. But if he did quit, the Secretary of State wouldn't accept it.

President Vance?
President Jesus Mike?

The alternatives to Trump are possibly worse than Trump.

Especially after his humiliation Saturday and again at the G7.

I think he’s always been a gossip and whiner. The very fact that he tried to rant about Obama and Putin is disgusting. His ignorance over Brexit is stunning. Lastly, his rudeness towards Macron - well, what happens to the King Stag when the Young Stag runs?

I pity him - I really do. A man afforded every privilege and opportunity is just too small minded to use this privilege to better anyone but himself.

You are correct - he won’t resign because he knows he will go to jail.

PS If I were Tulsi Gabbard, my resignation letter would be on his desk this am.

that the orange menace never wanted to run for office in the first place, however, poot had dirt on him - plus financial leverage - so he was compelled to run in order to ruin this society.

There's nothing stopping him from resigning. He will never resign. He loves it. We will never leave office for any reason, period.

Some of us are going to have to learn the hard way, apparently.
