Creative Speculation
Related: About this forumAnother One. Trump will announce soon, that he is not running for re-election. He may resign soon
Why?...If Trump does not run, then, he gets out without having to defend himself over and over.with "Oh, we did a great job in fighting the virus." .. That is such a lie, that it could destroy Trump's chances of making money and appearing on talk shows...
....Defending his behavior and what he has said, will make him look even stupider than he now looks. (Hard to believe?) ..But, I believe Trump will avoid all of that, and become a very quiet person ...like Nixon was after his resignation...That is even harder to believe. But it will save some of his reputation..(some, among those that still respect him).
...Note: we are not talking about a break in and a cover up. We are talking about tens of thousands of deaths due to failure to adequately warn about something.,,which is the President's job. By not running or resigning, Trump almost allows for some criticism of his tenure, which in some areas might...(I said might)... save the Republican Party's existence) As this is written in Creative Speculation, I believe that some advisors & party professionals are now trying to get him to announce that he will not run for re-election in order the name of the Republican Party.
....Trump cannot win. His behavior is not defensible.
...Will this happen? Unlikely...but that is why they named it, "Creative Speculation"

(3,419 posts)Once he realizes that he cant win and that Bill Barr cannot protect him out of office, I am sure that he could be convinced not to run if he could cut a deal that allows him his wealth, status and stay out of prison.

... But Trump cannot prevent "law suits." Law suits will never end.

(16,822 posts)him to stand down for re-election. He'll have narcissistic fantasies about how fabulous his life will be after the White House, all the deals he'll make all over the world, but his prospects are poor and his health could decline. He won't be off the hook for many of the things he's done, even though he thinks he will get away from it all.
I don't believe he can physically or mentally sustain the level of anger, anxiety, self-pity, insomnia and (this is creative speculation) drug abuse he requires to maintain his whole "game" for another four years. There's a cost to all of that.
Your speculation is appreciated.

(120,883 posts)that will make him go away before the election. No. Unless the virus or some other ailment gets him, it won't. He won't resign; he won't be impeached; the GOP will still support him and the MAGAts will adore him. Only the election or the Grim Reaper will get rid of him. Give it up.

(18,776 posts)He doesnt think like that.
He only thinks "will A impress my followers right now or insult Obama?"
That's it.

(17,757 posts)Which proves he is crazy.
He is going to fight to the end. He is going to use every dirty trick in the book and the Senate and the courts are going to back him to the hilt.

Compared to President of the USA? That wont happen, even if he starts his own cable channel.
Heres what the author of The Art of the Deal, Tony Schwartz, said about Trump:
Schwartz told me that Trumps need for attention is completely compulsive, and that his bid for the Presidency is part of a continuum. Hes managed to keep increasing the dose for forty years, Schwartz said. After hed spent decades as a tabloid titan, the only thing left was running for President. If he could run for emperor of the world, he would.
