Will trump resign? (#3465)

     I had thought resignation was possible early on as trump became aware of the difficulty of the job as president of the United States but he somewhat surprised me by not resigning earlier. But with the mounting legal difficulties and the nation turned in an overwhelming way against him he may just resign to get out of as much of it as he can. His ego on the one hand will try to stop him from leaving the most powerful position on Earth but his ego as well is so damaged by the hatred he has drawn on himself that his internal struggle may go the way of resigning. For all of America and the world at large it would be the best outcome.
     It may well come down to those who have stuff on him forcing him to stay on but the damage to himself  he is continuing to amass is just too much. Yet as we have seen in the recent past, death awaits those who don't obey putin. So I may be just wishful thinking here but I still think that with all the damage he is doing to himself and his republican party they may force him to barter a deal with putin that let's him survive his resignation. Otherwise the election on November 6th will be a massacre for republicans. Which by the way I am all for since a purging of republicans from our political system is long overdue and any lessening of that would be a shame.
     If trump doesn't resign there are many legal troubles for trump that will debase and shackle the rest of his appointed presidency and that may be just fine as well. However, what may come before the November election is still a jeopardy for us and hopefully we can stir up enough dissent within the republican ranks to keep things from getting uglier. Stopping the supreme court appointment until after the election would be a critical victory for us and if at all possible it should be our number one priority besides getting out our vote. Either way with trump though, if he resigns well and good. If he stays on then he will become an Albatross around the neck of the republican party and usher in it's demise.
