The republican misleader is so unmanly. It's painful to hear his ceaseless whining.

I think under normal circumstances he would either resign or just announce he wasn't seeking reelection. He could go into lame duck status and finish out the next two years nominating crazy judges and playing golf.

But, he can't do that. He's got an investigation the size of Texas closing in on him. The only way he can remotely protect himself and his family is to stay president.

But even that has its limits. Eventually, he'll get painted into a corner. Which is what I worry about. When rats get cornered they bite. What does a trumpian bite look like for the country? And sadly, the Repugs in the Senate are willing to stand back and watch it, like it's the Saturday night cock fights in Uncle Mitch's barn. Someone's prized cock is going to die, but their is a bloodbath to watch and money to be made.

Meanwhile, those of us normal folks are left holding onto our asses while hoping for the best...

Just wait for those post-presidency years in prison.

Maybe you'll even get TWO TERMS.

But you have to remember, trump was flat broke prior to the election. That's why the Asphalt King of Russia paid four times the fair market value for tRump's West Palm Beach Mansion in '08, as Deutschebank was foreclosing on tRump assets. The sale allowed tRump to pay Deutschebank the $100MM it owed them, and then talk them into a $600MM line of credit.


Since the election, however, he reportedly acted as a broker for Putin's 19.3% interest in the Russian State Gas Company. The brokerage fee was about $1B. It was later announced that Putie successfully sold his interest to the Government of Qatar, and two previously unknown participants of the infamous tRump Tower Meetings turned up to be (per security tape) members of the Qatar Government. I'm thinking tRump might have left that brokerage fee overseas.


Furthermore, I'm thinking that all the jacked up rents for tRump hotels and resorts are being off shored, while suppliers starve. The tRump Hotel in Washington, for example has been completed for 2 years. It's known that if you want access to tRump, you stay in that hotel. Still, contractors have filed $50MM in construction liens, as the tenant improvements on the old Post Office Building have not been paid for.


I think tRump and spawn are aware enough to realize many of their assets here in the States (at least those with Dem governors) will be seized. Which will leave them only with the billions they have off shored. tRump will go to Mueller's office and use his remaining two years in office as leverage. They will leave quietly if the Secret Service will look the other way.

and everyone here and around the world. He is not qualified and is doing a really really bad job. Republicans suck at governing because they don't believe in government.
