Truly. He has resorted to machine-gunning posts on his social media laughing-stock site. He has attacked Nigerian people for a poorly-stated reason, putting our military to work doing his will.
His poll numbers are dropping like a stone. He is becoming more and more inarticulate in his speech. He is walking poorly and has to sit down to give speeches.
He's just flat not doing well.
Not too long ago, I made a prediction that he would resign before the end of the year. That led to a lot of laughter at my presumptuousness. I still see that as a possibility, although I think it may take a little longer for him to finally cave in and do it. but, I think he's still going to do exactly that soon, if he doesn't simply keel over one day soon.
My hopes continue to be strong about this.
Here's my original prediction:

Just my opinion, of course.

(114,672 posts)If there is anything short of an acute, devastating health event, I firmly believe he will stop at NOTHING to exact revenge on whomever he perceives is causing him distress--even if it hurts his family and even HIMSELF in the aftermath. I don't think he can move past the perceived "release" from DOING the act, no matter how harmful, and that might well include devastating incitements of war. Pulling the US from NATO? Tactical nukes against his latest country target? Who knows, but I certainly don't think he would stop at the warnings from whoever is left around him.
Honestly, if he had any true patriots around him who remain so, I'd hope they would step in. Maybe if he NEEDS medication (dementia symptom reduction, for example-consensus of his physicians) that he refuses, there would be some means to get him to take it. No. I certainly am not even remotely suggesting someone harm him medically...But, he might well refuse medication that maintains his "sanity," and emotional "controls"--whatever is left
But I fear anything short of a devastating personal health event that precludes his acting in retaliation puts us all at immense risk in the coming days, weeks, and months.

(3,846 posts)He would see that as an acknowledgment of weakness and loss of power. He cannot tolerate that.
The only way to get him out of office while he's alive is to 25th him, and I can't see the current cabinet doing that.
Impeachment is highly unlikely; even if Democrats take the Senate next year, their majority won't be big enough

(40,404 posts)Resigning would be admitting failure, and the ass is hardwired to NEVER admit a single mistake.
That being said, the men behind the curtain may have other plans.
MineralMan
(151,540 posts)How that works is that you believe that you are "owning the people" by removing yourself. Since you are the only hope, you think, that will be a hard blow for people to take, you think.
Sort of the "I'm taking my ball and going home, you losers. You'll be sorry!" We've all seen people do that.

(151,540 posts)I'm far from being a psychic, but Trump is definitely a psychopath. If he gets it into his head that he can say, "That'll show them!," it might just work to get him the hell out of the White House. Maybe. I hope.

(346 posts)The prerequisites to incite him to resign are either 1- a conscious (ability to feel shame) or 2- some kind of criminal charges agreed to disappear with his resignation. 1 is laughable, not gonna happen, 2 would require an independent DOJ....again laughable.

I'm hoping he just croaks and the sooner the better. I know, that will give us JD but he has nowhere near the following as Trump.

(3,138 posts)Between losing popularity, losing his stranglehold on the GOP, and losing his health, the knives are going to come out for him eventually. The same people who wouldn't dare say a word in opposition to him will try to hang the policies they greenlit around his neck like a millstone, and send him to the bottom of the ocean.
