Will Trump be impeached or will he resign?
Everyone knows that Trump days are marked, even his trumpers. The question that is on everyone's mind is, will he be impeached or resign before the final vote in the Senate is cast?
With the imbalance of Congress, I feel that Trump will push it all the way through the impeachment process; even if damming evidence is displayed. 2/3 of the Senate would be a hard goal to be made when we can not even break a stalemate to open the government today.
What are all of your thoughts?

(12,412 posts)He will have a hard time figuring out who to blame in order to keep his minions attached. Somehow he has historically come up with nefarious support that has kept him bailed out and ahead of the law. He may have reached the bottom of the barrel.

(7,432 posts)He's a vengeful character, after all. He'll want to burn down the house. But it will be ineffective because his "base" isn't nearly as radical as he thinks. They're more interested in the drama, not the action. But I have a prediction: Trumpy's rule will end by June or July. He will resign, be impeached, or die. July would be a reasonable months for Trumpy to suffer a severe health emergency. The pressure will be too great, and something will have to give-- more likely it will be Trumpy's arteries.

(9,426 posts)humiliated. Exposed for the traitor and con artist he always has been. I want him and his entire family fined and impoverished. Let them find out what working for a living feels like, after prison sentences. Let princess Ivanka go without any Botox or surgery to keep her fake looks. Let Maleria go back to escorting, or else being a madam. Beavis and Butthead can find out how many women they can attract when they are "working class". They are totally worthless, the entire group. They have cost taxpayers millions of $$$$, protecting their useless arses. I want the entire truth about them all exposed no matter how shocking it all will be. In two short years they have almost destroyed everything this country USED to stand for.

(43,049 posts)he'll destroy himself just like he did in the past.
If it wasn't for that TV show, he wouldn't have two nickels to scrape together.

(9,426 posts)with business practices, scammed small business contractors. Paid off women, molested others. Then he walks away, smirk on his face thinking he is something special I want the sob HUMILIATED to the extent it is possible for him to be humiliated. Stripped of all he holds dear, his money. Slimy bastard deserves to be totally destroyed.

Remember, most of the "Trump" properties were not owned by him, but his got big bucks for licensing his name to be plastered all over them. I'd love for those property owners to sue Trump for their money back and for the expense of having to rebrand everything.
But I also want the Republican Party to be destroyed by their efforts to defend this piece of shit.

The word "trump" should be English for a person who sells out their country purely to make money.

(7,432 posts)But with Mueller's results, we'll also find that Pence has big problems and likely committed felonies, especially with regard to Flynn's activities before he was fired. So it will be both Trumpy and Pence who will be on the chopping block. We're likely six or seven months away from President Pelosi.

(32,822 posts)I thought the 25th Ammendment or Impeachment proceedings defaulted to the VP taking over?
Oh, I get it now. Pelosi as Speaker takes over.

(52,221 posts)He's 72, rather overweight, and doesn't eat right.
I don't think he gets enough exercise. He sure golfs a lot, but the cart takes away the walking, which is the real exercise.
A medical condition is quite plausible, even if he has to lie.

(33,579 posts)if the House impeaches (and they should!) he doesn't get convicted in the Senate.
Declares that proves his innocence and runs in 2020.
