Trump will have a mental breakdown.

[yardwork]

The Republicans will respond by forcing him out. Pence will be president. Pence will be a terrible president but he will sound "reasonable."

The Republicans will help push Trump over the edge. They will attack his vulnerabilities, especially his narcissism. Trump has a very fragile ego. Look for the taunts, the undermining to begin from Republican leadership.

I predict that Trump will have a complete meltdown, possibly during a public interview. Watch for it.

1. I hope he has it in jail.

With no media coverage.

[titaniumsalute]

2. I think I agree

Trump has led a life of leisure, hob-knobbing with Hollywood types and superstars, dining in the finest establishments, grabbing random pussies, etc. He had a TV show where if you watched it you liked it and he probably had adoring fans. (You know the fun fans...not the Nazi racist fans.)

He would fly around the country or world playing golf, hanging out at his properties, was many times not in the spotlight when he didn't want to be.

NOW: He really can't travel at leisure. He has 24 hour secret service around him and no privacy. Every word he says is scrutinized. He is hated by millions of people. He is holed up in the White House or Mar-a Lago where he cannot go dining in those fancy establishments. Hollywood generally hates the man. Besides white racists and Nazi sympathizers he has lost his elite friends generally. He has to work 24/7. Running a government is not running a business. His lies are all catching up to him as this is no longer a campaign. His Nashville and other "rallies" are his only way to try to feel good again.

7. He's not used to disagreement.

He's a spoiled rich kid who was probably emotionally abused by his parents. All he knows is bullying and swagger. Now he has a job that is 99% disappointment and compromise. He doesn't have the personality to sustain that.

[Blanks]

9. ...and on top of all of that...

He still has tiny fucking hands.

[Catherine Vincent]

12. LOL...oh god

I'm lmao over here.

[milestogo]

3. How will we be able to tell?

He's pretty broken to begin with.

[yardwork]

6. It will be very dramatic, I think.

[doc03]

15. That was my thought also nt

[Turbineguy]

4. He may fake that.

After all, it's better to go due to bad health than be exposed as an agent for a foreign power.

[yardwork]

5. I don't think that he has the capacity for that kind of strategic thinking.

He's functioning at a lizard brain level. And it's getting worse.

[elfin]

8. Perhaps, but now as President* , he may be in that "too big to fail" category

The same category that protected evil banks. His personal transgressions are so HUGE, that revealing their depth and scope could deliver such a damaging body blow to our fractionated body politic, that the path forward is hopelessly tangled.

Too many entities with real power to hit at US for revealing his crimes in collusion with them will give investigations pause. Think both Putin AND China.

The office and its symbolism offer him protection. Will we risk destroying our republic and risk very real war with Russia to get rid of him? Nixon was peanuts compared to him.

[yardwork]

10. I'm predicting a public breakdown too obvious to ignore.

They might keep him in the sick bay rather than force a resignation, but look for Pence to be made at least acting president.

[elfin]

14. Yes. That could work. But then we may never know the true extent of his horrors.

In order to "protect" us and give the spooks more secret knowledge levers to play with as they go about their own murky business on our behalf.

I want to see Dump drawn and quartered, eviscerated and his entire family swept down to povertyville.

It has to be so complete and so verified and so publicly agreed upon to prevent the very nastiest of conspiracy ideas enrapturing well-armed wing nuts.

[Catherine Vincent]

11. If he does, we'll never find out

Unless it happens in front of the cameras. Otherwise, his handlers would keep it hidden.

[Johnny2X2X]

13. Character

Character matters. This s the most high pressure job on the planet, Trump doesn't have the character to endure that. His life has been one of leisure, he is not prepared for this and will meltdown.

[Nitram]

16. I think that's very possible.

Let's hope he doesn't take us with him.

[spanone]

17. i think his personality is a result of several mental breakdowns

[alarimer]

18. If he was choking I would not use the Heimlich on him.

I hope he dies. I do. I'm not sorry either. I want him to choke on a piece of his well-done steak.

[lpbk2713]

19. What concerns me ...

I know he's headed toward the deep end but just how bad will things
have to get before responsible people decide somethg has to be done?

[no_hypocrisy]

20. Will Pence keep Bannon and Kellyanne?

What will change except who's President?

[LisaL]

21. I don't think anybody is going to keep Bannon if Trump isn't there.

[DFW]

22. He will definitely keep them......

For just long enough to tell them that their services are no longer needed.

[kwassa]

23. No, he has ironclad denial capabilities.

Trump lives in an alternate universe of his own making. He may be forced out of office but will never admit error, as he can't possibly be wrong. He never is.

[malaise]

24. You need more?

He's already a fucking lunatic.
