It's only a personal suspicion, but I think this is his way to step down from the presidency with a sense of dignity and hope it will give him some sympathy credit when the dust settles.
- slg 6y ago>with a sense of dignity Are we thinking about the same guy? When has he shown any desire for dignity?
- phobosanomaly 6y agoHe'll want to return to Manhattan some day after he leaves the presidency. I assume he doesn't want to be a pariah in the city that has meant so much to him over the course of his life. I think he's perfectly fine with his peers shunning him while he's in office, but when he leaves office and the rallies and MAGA hats are behind him, he's going to be all alone.

- phobosanomaly 6y agoUnfortunately for him, the media portrayal of his illness doesn't seem to be following that narrative arc.
- pimlottc 6y agoWhat evidence do you see that makes you think he wants to step down?
- phobosanomaly 6y agoI'm assuming that his legal team is trying to game out different approaches to avoiding future tax-evasion charges following the NYT articles. Some of those scenarios have to include the possibility of not winning re-election.
