How does Trump Exit the Presidency?

[Doug the Dem]

Personally, I'm going with his junk-food diet and lack of exercise. (The man is 71 years old, after all.)

1. Trump IMO is going to find a way to get out of it. His power is being limited and controlled. He's

not the big guy on the block anymore and millions upon millions think he's a joke.

[Warpy]

4. Well, especially now that Kelly has confiscated the Twit Phone

and he's found himself back in military school. I suppose a flounce is possible, but just.

I'm still hoping for the nice men leading him away quietly in the wee hours to an undisclosed location where he'll get happy pills and long talks with men in white coats while his press secretary comes up with the fantasy of a serious medical condition that will prevent him from serving out his term.

2. The old "I want to spend more time with my family." n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. My hope is that he's bundled out of the White House

wearing a canvas jacket with straps, escorted by guys with nets. Or maybe strapped to a hand truck and wearing a hockey goalie's mask.

[Pachamama]

33. +1000

I have that same hope....play it over in my mind and when you wrote this, I laughed and smiled - because I am not alone in that thought. And I must admit, the hand truck and hockey goalie mask with that orange combover above it is a funny image...

[LeftInTX]

5. If we're lucky, he will be voted out in 2020

I've seen many 71 year olds in much worse shape than him.
I've seen many 85 year olds in worse shape then him.

[bdjhawk]

6. Hopefully in handcuffs!

[Bettie]

7. I rather lean toward declares self president for life

and makes the country a dictatorship, but probably indicted.

[sarisataka]

8. Declares himself

Greatest President ever and says he achieved every goal he set out to do. He doesn't run for re-election

[Le Gaucher]

9. Wouldn't put it past this country that elected him to put him back in office.

Not saying that it is probable..but possible.

Would require the economy to sustain its growth ( thanks President Obama) .Trump will undoubtedly & shamelessly take credit even if doesn't get a single major bill passed. Most importantly Muller doesn't indict him ( not before 2020 at the very least) and one of the chambers with impeachment proof number of Republicans.

So above conditions will improve his chances of him being reelected.

Probable - NO. Possible - YES.

[MoonRiver]

10. He'll cut some kind of deal

to avoid indictment and/or impeachment, by resigning.

[femmocrat]

16. I think so too.

He will want to devote himself to his businesses or something.

[MoonRiver]

21. And the entire world will collectively make a great sigh of relief!

[dalton99a]

11. Cardiovascularly

[Bleacher Creature]

12. See Palin, Sarah, Governor of Alaska (2006-2009)

[VOX]

13. One of the choices listed might result in a Secret Service inquiry.

Pretty obvious which one. I recommend removing it, it's not good for DU.

[Doug the Dem]

15. Four Times in Our History

How can it be ignored as a possibility?

[VOX]

18. Since 11/22/63, I can't imagine anyone NOT thinking it's a possibility.

In which case, the "Other" category suffices.

No one is going to make their mark on that specific choice, even if they believed it. For the very reason I pointed out: it's not good for DU to put this out into the tribal ether.

[Voltaire2]

23. Listing the possibility of assassination is in no way advocating for assassination.

[Doug the Dem]

29. Thank You!

This country has a violent history. To pretend otherwise is sheer folly.

[Shrike47]

14. I think he will resign. He doesn't like the job anyway. It's not at all what he imagined.

He will declare victory but complain of the unfair way he and his family have been and are being treated. He will then resign, take victory laps, give speeches about how great he was and the jobs he saved.

Everyone will be nicer to him because they are so glad he went away.

[inanna]

17. I think you're right about him not liking the job.

The media...wah wah.

I like Ted Lieu's take on that aspect: "Public officials get criticized and ridiculed. Don't like it? Don't run for public office."

Paraphrasing - but that was the gist of what Lieu said. I agree 100%.

I wouldn't like it either, and definitely couldn't hack it. But I also have zero intention of ever running for office anywhere.

[MyNameGoesHere]

19. Most likely

Tea with Putin dosed with a little polonium.

[loyalsister]

20. He'll try to write the narrative

However it ends, someone will have been instructed to write an exit that will keep the big lie of his grandioosity alive.

[Voltaire2]

22. near 0 chance of impeachment unless he is on film having sex with dogs.

I think that absent impeachment he will not resign, will run again in 2020, and it is a tossup if he wins.

[ProudLib72]

25. What kind of dog?

French poodle with stupid coiffure might been seen as a positive. Dogs can't slap his tiny hands away.

[NeoGreen]

24. Not Fast Enough (nt)

[CrispyQ]

37. +1!!

[trueblue2007]

26. i bet Death... but not sure how. I don't think like the OP itls by fast food.

maybe heart attack or something like that

[NobodyHere]

27. Mystery illness followed by 25th Amendment

[drray23]

28. in a straight jacket carried away by the men in white.nt.

[shanen]

31. No problem with his mental health?

Didn't you hear about Trump's phone call from Sigmund Freud? According to Trump, he just wanted to reassure Trump that his mental health was the greatest, the sanest of every president, king, and even the queens. Before he hung up Siggy even said he loves the Donald almost as much as the Donald loves himself.

[shanen]

30. Other: Removal by Putin

Not sure how it would actually go down in this scenario, but I am certain that Putin has LOTS of dirt on #PresidentTweety. Even though the Donald has no conceptions of humiliation, embarrassment, or even that he could have made an error, it's within Putin's power to destroy Trump whenever he feels like it. Not the peepee tape, though I have doubts about that even existing, but solid evidence of much more conventional crimes going back for decades.

The real question is what would provoke Putin to that degree. It can't be simple nonperformance, because I'm certain that he's been fully aware of Trump's incompetence for many years. No way he could be clinging to any expectations of Trump actually doing something useful to help Russia. More likely it would be due to some internal problem in Russia that called for an external distraction, and the Donald is really good at distraction. Nothing else, but Trump is a YUGE distraction.

[Doodley]

32. He exits by pressing a red button and we all exit at the same time.

[Kablooie]

34. Someone has a gun at a wedding party he crashes and eliminates him.

That's what occurred to me when I saw the video.
Did the secret service in investigate everyone at the golf Course?

[Lil Missy]

35. He will leave in handcuffs. 🤣

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

36. He term-limits out in Jan, 2025.

Worst case scenario.

But, we need to gain and hold the Congress. Then refuse to consider any Supreme Court nominations.

[Orrex]

38. Feet first?

He's not a well man, after all.
