Not impeachment nor 25th amendment I predict that Trump will experience a major medical event and resign. We have all seen people who have tried to live in denial or deep cognitive tension and it always results in a civil war between the body and the disordered personality and the body always wins.
Anybody that has the level of internal conflict that Trump has with the insatiable need for wide spread approval and the need for fawning adoration will eventually be punished by their own body and I think it is just a matter of time before Trump's body delivers a massive "medical event" in an effort to save itself from the impossible predicament that he has gotten himself into.
The erratic behaviour and megalomania are clear sign posts. Are starting to see the beginning of a complete mental breakdown?
Consider this bizarre exchange with the Economist
TRUMP: It is OK, because it wont increase it for long. You may have two years where youll you understand the expression prime the pump?
ECONOMIST: Yes.
TRUMP: We have to prime the pump.
ECONOMIST: Its very Keynesian.
TRUMP: Were the highest-taxed nation in the world. Have you heard that expression before, for this particular type of an event?
ECONOMIST: Priming the pump?
TRUMP: Yeah, have you heard it?
ECONOMIST: Yes.
TRUMP: Have you heard that expression used before? Because I havent heard it. I mean, I just I came up with it a couple of days ago and I thought it was good. Its what you have to do.
He thinks he came up with "prime the pump".
Has his mind started to lose its bearings?

(8,419 posts)As for the prime the pump comment, I think it is much more likely that he had no friggen idea about "Keynesian" and went down a rabbit hole that ended with his prime the pump gaff. He is much more like Sarah Palin than anyone wants to admit, just fucking dumb as a rock.

(21,597 posts)I think the stress of investigation and news coverage plus poor health will cause a stroke or heart attack.
AAAND... Repubs will try to cover it up!!!!!
A 70yo choleric fast-food lover with a stressful job?
grantcart
(53,061 posts)and don't wish it on anyone but if he is going to have it I think it would be a great public education event if he would slowly disassemble physically during a speech where people are thinking he is making fun of the reporter again and he is left with dribble and a twisted expression.
Just think how much it could do for stroke prevention education. A real public service.
Not that I actually wish it on anyone, of course.

(63,931 posts)I hate looking at him, but for the Lester Holt interview his face is getting fatter, and he has a little pie hole. Again, I hate listening to him or looking at him.
He needs to go....anywhere, somewhere get him away from us. Send him to Russia with love.
Freddie
(9,275 posts)Wonder what he's taking. He's definitely deteriorating in appearance and speech. Of course repugs will hide this like St. Ronnie's Alzheimer's.

dr oldhippie will concur.
Orrex
(63,234 posts)Which is, incidentally, an expression that he also invented.
duncang
(1,907 posts)His hair will break. And he will go into hiding for a few weeks only to be seen leaving the WH with a maga cap. Never to be seen again.
Egnever
(21,506 posts)He is going to blow a gasket. The presidency is a stressful job on a good day and I don't think he has had a good day yet.
bdamomma
(63,931 posts)blowing a gasket, or in medical terms having a pulmonary embolus, or a heart issue. (oh silly me he doesn't have a heart!!)

(1,128 posts)If Trump leaves office by any other method besides medical incapacity or end of term will cause the deplorables to revolt against establishment republicans.

(13,468 posts)The reality he lives in is that he has done nothing wrong and he can always prove he is right.
But he's also a fat old guy, so if he has a medical emergency, I think it will be for real.

You think I kid, but I'm telling you, the conservatives see the writing on the wall. The demographics don't support their model and what they've already done--going back to the Nixon era--includes crimes with no statute of limitations.
They're not giving America back. Ever. They'll give it to Russia first.

(53,061 posts)Now he is under 24 hour scrutiny, which wouldn't be 24 hours except that he appears to stay up all night.
Eventually the body will say "I have a solution, if we shut down all key systems for a while they will take me a nice quiet room with nurses".
