While Trump retreats to his home base for the second time in less than a month,

[Baitball Blogger]

maybe we can discuss a move that he might be secretly considering: An exit strategy.

How can Trump step down and still manage to save face?

[femmocrat]

1. He has to save "The Apprentice" from low ratings.

[Baitball Blogger]

4. He needs to spend more time with his family?

[dchill]

2. Two-step plan to save face:

1.) Cut face off.
2.) Put in freezer.

Also, possibly swap with Travolta or Cage.

15. HA!

21. LMAO!

[unblock]

3. he could decline the republican nomination.

what... too late?

[Phoenix61]

5. The only thing I can think of is medical

But it would have to be something that would make him look like a hero which rules out dementia. Hell, he avoided the draft he should be able to come up with something.

12. Accute Bone Spurs...lots of stairs, too many stairs. WH stairs, AirforceOne stairs, no escalators!

[Island Blue]

17. But he's in the best health of anyone

who has ever been president. His crazy ass doctor said so, so I believe it.

[Kolesar]

6. Get the maintenance dept to unlock all the windows on the penthouse floor of Dump Tower...eom

[Frogg]

7. I know...he was such a winning Prez...he won so much...only needed months to accomplish

His promises and goals for the Trumpkins. Wow! It took other potus' years to do what he accomplished in a very, very short time. He is like such a smart person, such a good student so he knew things better than anyone else and ...now I am making myself sick. But you get the drift.

8. The only way he will ever VOLUNTARILY leave is if . . .

he can make himself look "smart" and declare he is a "winner".

The only plausible scenario is that he says the job is too easy (gets in a dig at PBO), and that his business enterprises need him (makes Dump seem so important).

He will NEVER say he's leaving for health reasons (would make him look weak) or that it's for the sake of his family (again, weak).

9. republican loser

sad

[yallerdawg]

10. I hope we are getting a running tally...

of how much this is costing the American taxpayer.

Stepping down - tweet: "The precedency is a joke. Not CEO. SO SAD! Didn't want job anyway, schmucks!" - is the only way he will save face!

[GusBob]

11. He could declare bankruptcy

that's his way

[anarch]

14. perhaps he can declare moral bankruptcy - n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. That will be difficult.

Health could be a problematic excuse because, although he's overweight, lives on junk food and looks like hell, he has insisted though his "doctor" that he's the healthiest president ever.

He could say he wants to spend more time with his family, but that would be a first. He seems perfectly happy not spending time with his family; his wife and kid aren't even living with him.

He could come up with some bullshit that he has accomplished something no other candidate has managed to do (insert MAGA bullshit here), and now it's time to step aside and let the little folks take care of the implementation. "My work is done here."

Whatever excuse he comes up with, we'll know that he quit because he discovered he couldn't be the King of America like he thought.

[randome]

16. His brain is too heavy.

18. for his

small hands to cradle.

[Bucky]

19. Can America make it without leadership from a guy with a 154 IQ?

We need him. No one else is such comedy gold

[brush]

20. Does Melania even bother to join him in Florida? What a sham marriage.
