I'll agree he'll leave office, but I don't agree he'll fade away.

he is addicted to the press and will try to turn his time in the white house into more fame and many more dollars.

those are the main two things he wants or understands.

I mean to be fair to trump, he knows all about failure, having failed so many times, and he isn't afraid to try something new. What he really wants is to be a talk radio host - he will take his marketing list and be on tv all the time.

and also, trump is a survivor. He is very very good at surviving failure - all his life he has weaseled out of suffering consequences for his crimes and misdeeds. he knows that if he does not leave office, it's curtains for him. He won't do that. He would not put himself into such an obvious position of losing everything.

What's happening to him, why he's sweating so much, is that he broke his rules and has set into motion so many investigations that they will find his crimes and he will suffer. This is new to him. he has been able to run away in the past.

So that may be an argumnt that trump will take maximum steps to save himself, I don't know.

An impeachment has broad leeway, stupid.

The only problem there is that the only of those in favor of impeaching Trump are the nutjobs - Maxine Walters, Al Green, Shelia Jackson Lee, AOC, the muslims, and the other progressives. Those in power positions, most notably Speaker Pelosis, Judiciary chair Nadler, Intelligence chair Schitt et al. want nothing to do currently with impeachment. The Senate won't convict and the failed impeachment would most assuredly make Trump's re-election a certainty.

Wrong. They ALL want him out, there may be differences in how and when but when a big move is made they will all fall behind just like the GOP will be behind Trump. Plus a huge chuck of the population want him out, so it’s a straight up lie for you to say there are only a few people in favor of impeaching him.

How do you figure a failed impeachment wiloild assure his re election? Are you seriously comparing him to Bill?

A sex act was supposedly high crimes & misdemeanors.

And don’t forget it was the party of the porn star president that cried and screamed about Bill’s immorality. Not a peep today.

I've pointed out several times that there are only four ways an authoritarian like Trump can leave office:

1) Die in office

2) Thrown in prison

3) Flee to exile

4) Taken out back and shot

But I've always said I hope that #4 doesn't happen. It would be bad for America.

I really think Trump would go if he lost the 2020 election. He would accept his loss and just fade away. Those of you who are saying he would try to reverse the election just don't know Trump. He would fade away.

Is that you Eric?

I believe his "brand" has been shot; there are buildings where his name has been removed from the exterior. His base will always love him but they won't buy his condos. I don't know if his rambling nonsense would play well on a radio show. It would be the same thing every time.

My guess is that he will be isolated in his apartment watching videos of rallies and debates and tweeting about Hillary and how unfairly he was treated.

The rich always prefer exile to prison.

nah. the way marketing works is that you aren't trying to sell to everyone...you are trying to sell to a rabid group of people. Spanks has been working to create a rabid 1/3 of the country, from day one. That's a hundred million people to sell to. The Trump brand is massive strong among those 100 million. Trump doesn't care if the other 200 million hate him.

No, Rush is intelligent and articulate. He's ridiculously biased, but he's no Trump.

He can only be intelligent if you ascribe to the theory that he doesn't believe a word he says and it's all just for the money, which I also happen to agree with. I think that makes him evil though

I agree with SDSU Aztec here. Trump will be seen as a failure. He won't be able to rally people to listen to him/follow him on the radio. Occasional guest on an established show might boost ratings, but he won't have staying power.

NEW PREDICTION -- It will be shown that Trump is not even a billionaire. He states he's worth over $10 billion. Other more credible estimates (still based a little on what he has told them) say ~$2.7 billion to $3.1 billion. NOPE! It will be less than a billion, and perhaps much less.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

George Burns in Going in Style figures he can collect Social Security after robbing a bank and a stint in prison, like Manafort.

And in a couple of years, he'll be completely broke when he's done paying back taxes and penalties.

As an indicator, he had 2m Twitter followers in 2014, now close to 60m. Obviously that’s because he is POTUS and people automatically want to hear whatever he says. Forget the crimes for a second, what is going to happen to this guy’s ego when he no longer has the ear of the public? He’ll go out Tonya Harding style and you can expect to see similarities after that as well. His public existence will be pathetic but at least we won’t be hearing his name anymore in terms of tangible impact.

He for sure isn't done doing really bad stuff...on that I agree.

It is ironic that the guy who so readily labels people as "losers" will be known as the biggest loser in American history...followed closely by those who supported him longer than they should have (and we are past that point now).

Anyone who believes a post Presidency Donald Trump is going to fade away is out of their mind. As has been pointed out, he has a solid base and they will support him, watch him, cheer for him until either he or they die. That is a lot of people. He will be on every talk show he can book. He'll give multiple interviews with every network he can find and that includes with his enemies. He will keep his name out there.

The only issue which could put a crimp in that is the SDNY which may be much more problematic for him than the Mueller investigation particularly once he leaves the White House whether after 2020 or 2024.

That sure looks likely. Apparently even the money-laundering high-risk Deutsche Bank was beginning to be leery of Trump as a client. It sure sounds like he is leveraged to the teeth.

He should resign as quickly as possible and just plan to live on his $400,000 a year salary that he will get until he dies. Maybe he can leave Barron a couple million dollars when he dies.

Meaghan McCain called his life "pathetic" yesterday, and it does seem to have devolved to that. As pathetic as it is, that will not sway me to feel sorry for him...I am long past that. He has continued to be an a$$hole and has even ratcheted it up. Such a pathetic loser.

Mueller is coming.
