Nixon was paranoid and a jerk, but he looks like a reasonable gentleman compared to Trump. I weep for the next 4 years.

- sorokod 10y ago4? I think it is quite possible that Trump will not make the whole term. He may be impeached, or pull a Nixon and resign himself.
- op00to 10y agoTrump not making the whole term is worse than Trump lasting 4 years.
- sorokod 10y agoInteresting, how so?
- badsock 10y agoIf I had to guess, they're referring to Pence becoming president.
- notahacker 10y agoI can't speak for the original poster, but as it's fairly unlikely Trump's ego would permit him to step down voluntarily, it's reasonable to assume that any attempt to remove him from office by other means would (i) result in massive unrest from the Trump base and (ii) succeed only if Trump had done something sufficiently bad to convince the Republican-dominated legislature that inaction was the less dangerous course of action, or if something much more drastic happened.
- bobbyi_settv 10y agoMaybe, but it's hard to imagine him stepping down voluntarily, no matter what sort of scandals he's involved in.
- sorokod 10y agoHe is may be vulnerable to manipulation due to his wide ranging financial interests. Then, some more toxic stuff may emerge from his past. I would guess that the chase is on by Russia, China, etc... for compromising material.
- diogenescynic 10y agoRussia already found it. Look how Trump is already kissing up to Putin.

- tonyedgecombe 10y agoI don't see it, it's far more likely he will be an ineffective leader.
