A good summary and some good points but I think this investigation is a bit different . I also do not think Trump will be a two term president however. He did not want the job to begin with and a "graceful" out is exactly what he wants. Declare victory, drop out of the race, and save face (possibly). On the other hand, maybe he's so full of himself that he will run again in 2020 (I also agree a second term is likely if he runs) so who really knows!
1) He will not run in 2020 (well, technically he is already running, but he will not be able to get a second term). He is going to resign or be impeached and convicted before then.
2) He would like a graceful exit, and early on I was hoping that for him, but the lies are just too much. He does not deserve a graceful exit. He hit the 3,000 lie milestone a couple days ago...these are public verifiable lies that he has told since inauguration day. As a contrast, Obama had 18 in 8 years.
3) I am not sure a graceful exit is possible at this point. They've just got too much on him. Might be some sort of plea at the very end so that he might escape prison, but he will be a disgraced President, and history will be brutal to him (deservedly so).
As usual, you're wrong on every thought you have.
He will not resign or be impeached. He may not run again, but that's completely different.
History doesn't care about his tweets, or the fake controversies the media drives. History will note how the economy performed, how ISIS was destroyed, how North Korea became a positive situation, how illegal immigration was reduced dramatically, how the Iran deal was reshaped, how Israel was handled, and how the African American vote first began to swing back toward the middle.
Oh, and how the Trump phenomenon was the beginning of the end for the vaunted two-party, divide-and-conquer system that US politics is based upon. If you're not against this disgusting system, you're part of the problem and are perpetuating it.
