I see a disaster for Trump once this election is over...

[Frustratedlady]

Not only will he lose the election, but will be facing a myriad of lawsuits ranging from rape of a minor to non-payment of services. He has muddied the family name, exposed his children's business dealings/tax situations, brought suspicion on his own tax standings for the last 18 years and brought attention to his charities...both the giving and taking of monies. Add to that his groping women, bragging about walking in on nude females at his beauty contests and other sexual activities with adult women and teenage girls and you have a potluck of probable criminal/questionable activities. Will those do damage to his marriage? His relationship with his children/grands?

Since he has lost so much income for his hotel business, removed his name from some of his buildings because of the damage to his name, supposedly self-funded his campaign (doubtful) and lost court cases on non-paying service contracts, you have pockets with major holes in them. Add to that the probability he lied about his true wealth, you have a situation approaching robbing Peter to pay Paul. Since US banks won't loan money to him and he's far in debt to foreign countries, his sources to bail him out of trouble are disappearing. Will he default on the foreign loans? Will Putin cut relations with The Donald (which Trump swears isn't true) and will his mouth get us all in trouble with Russia and other countries? It is my understanding the relationship with Russia is already touchy. There was a pretty good discussion about that on NPR, today.

He must be juggling all this in his mind, trying to figure out where he stands financially and by his reputation. Will this be bankruptcy court again? What would that be, #4 or #5? He surely won't be groping any more women. Perhaps he'll be spending his time testifying in court and we won't see much of him in the future. I know one thing, I sure wouldn't want to be in his shoes.

1. As the old expression goes....

He'll get his ass kicked up one side of the street and down the other.

[MissB]

2. I wouldn't be surprised if he

committed suicide. Hope he has some stabilizing forces in his life after this is over.

[Frustratedlady]

5. That thought also went through my mind, but I passed on it...

Certainly is a possibility.

[niyad]

7. I thought that, but it seems he is too self-adoring to do anything like that.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

22. But at the bottom of pathological narcissism is self loathing.

Whether or not he takes the suicide route...what a sad waste he is.

[Puzzler]

10. I fear you may be right...

... Even though I loathe the man, I will be greatly saddened if this happens. Trump obviously will be in a terrible possition when (or if) he loses. The chances of him facing mutiple criminal charges and/or investgations are very high (not to mention the civil lawsuits).

His reputation will, or probably already is, in ruins. However, if he shows any signs of following through on his threats, by egging on his core of armed lunatics, then my above feelings may not be quite so charitable.

11. Doubt It

Blaming other people is his safety valve against doing something like that.

[NewJeffCT]

38. I agree - Trump will go to his grave blaming everybody else

but the man in the mirror for his problems.

[doc03]

13. He is too big a coward to commit suicide nt

[Saviolo]

27. If that were to happen

And I hope it doesn't, because it's horrible...

But if that were to happen, the right wingers would go full-on-conspiracy-theory that it was part of the Clinton's death list. He'll be the next Vince Foster.

[kimbutgar]

29. I see him having a nervous breakdown

Time in a padded room with him babbling endlessly "it was rigged, rigged, rigged..."

[Duppers]

37. In NPD, everything bad is someone else's fault.

They are almost incapable of objective self-evaluation and realistic self-blame.*

So, don't worry about him committing suicide.

Btw, I have no pity for him, knowing the numbers of people he has deeply hurt, both financially and emotionally.

3. That's nothing

The Russians to whom he is in hock are going to very unhappy with him.

[robbob]

18. You read my mind!

I was thinking along the lines of a KGB style hit in one of his hotel room. "Ver is money, Donald?" They probably have a lot invested in seeing this clown take the office, both monetarily and in political capital. When Don the con goes down, Putin is not going to be happy...

[dalton99]

28. Yep.

[Xipe Totec]

4. Trump's Character Model.

[Frustratedlady]

6. Bingo!

[babylonsister]

8. His new station is in the works, no doubt.

We might never see him GTFO.

[ThoughtCriminal]

9. Will he leave the country?

I would not be surprised.

[ILFightinDem]

15. He's already said that if he loses

that he is going to take "a really nice vacation" (I think he mentioned Greece)

But...maybe it'll be to Brunei, The Maldives, or Montenegro
(all of which have no extradition treaties with the US, and probably the best / safest choices of the lot that don't)

[Blue Idaho]

12. I hope the family name is forever poisoned

And that they are financially ruined.

Serves them all right.

[Coyotl]

16. I see a disaster for Trump in the rear view mirror.

[smirkymonkey]

17. I certainly hope so.

It would be well deserved karma.

[world wide wally]

19. In all honesty, I don't care at all what happens to Trump as long as he can't hurt people on his

way out.
Just be thankful a suicidal creep didn't get elected President if that is the path he chooses to take.

[randr]

26. The man with the golden touch

has, in reality, destroyed everything he has touched.
I only hope his children seek therapy and find a sense of purpose to their lives.

[snooper2]

36. They are as guilty as he as and just as slimy

[Mme. Defarge]

30. I think the best explanation

of his outrageous and bizarre behavior is fear. He quite literally cannot afford to lose. His family's wealth, and maybe even their very lives, may be at stake. Perhaps this is why his adult children have not intervened in his manic rampage. My theory is that he has made promises to his Russian creditors that he now, obviously, won't be able to keep, and they are seeing that they bet on the wrong horse. Stupid American voters were supposed to elect this guy. His foreign backers are probably scratching their heads over how this American "billionaire" and famous TV personality, this self-described "winner", could have turned out to be so STUPID.

32. Bankruptcy seems the surest way to protect assets...

...but then there goes the rest of the myth.
