As his eggshell ego collapses, things could get even scarier...

18. Could happen. Like everyone else, I have no idea what the future holds.

I'm just speculating based on my beliefs that

1. The felon is incapable of ending the war. He is incapable of sucking up the loss.

2. As the war/stalemate continues, domestic and international harms will escalate, ultimately becoming utterly unsustainable.

3. Sooner or later, a growing number of trumpublicans in the House and Senate will "get" 1 and 2 and recognize that the only "way out" is to push trump out.

I am sceptical that Trump would voluntarily resign to give Vance a better shot. It just doesn't align with his inability to accept loss of any kind.

In fact, I doubt he would resign even under threat. If/when enough recognize the only way to end the disastrous war on Iran is to get rid of the felon, you'll see "allies" tramping to the WH to give him the option of resigning.

And if enough wake up to reality to vote to remove, the threat will be "Resign for whatever reason you want or you will be removed. There are enough of us now."

If that were to come to pass, I'd bet he would continue to delude himself that "they'd never do that" and force their hand.

And if I were a betting person, I would bet that after a rout in the mid-terms, as we come up on the one-year anniversary of his criminal war it will be clear the situation cannot be allowed to continue -- that he must go, one way or another
