When the time comes, Trump will have to be dragged from the White House

And that time is going to be January 20th, 2021. There's no way he can win again in 2020. And the numbers will be way too big for the Republicans to steal it again. There are far, far more sane people in this country than there are those who have drunk the Kool-Aid. That upcoming vote won't be anywhere near close. He is going to lose in the biggest landslide in American history.

But he will claim it was "rigged." He'll scream that it's an illegal theft by Democrats. He'll call on those who believe in "second amendment solutions" to stand with him. (He won't call it a coup d'etat because he doesn't know what that means.) He'll do anything and everything possible to cling to power.

It won't be pretty and it could very well be bloody.

We have two years to figure out how to dislodge the maniac from his White House "fortress."

Some of you may think this post is a bit dramatic, or over the top. But after seeing what this madman is capable of, why would you think he would just give it up? I truly believe that we're in for an ugly confrontation two years from now.

If Mueller doesn't get him, the pressure will. He is not accustomed to being challenged or investigated with any teeth in the investigation. He is crumbling quickly.

It's also what the wingnuts thought about Obama.

Of course, Tiny is even nuttier and more authoritarian than Nixon ever was, so I can see him making a huge kerfuffle about losing the election, but if after the Electoral College votes in December of 2020 and decides the Dem won, if he's still occupying the WH on Jan. 20, 2021 and refuses to leave, presumably federal marshals could remove him since at that point he'd be trespassing on government property.

All eight years of Dubya I never once wished any natural ill befall him. Of course he did keep himself in fairly good shape, at least compared to Trump. So I never even considered it much of a possibility.

We did have Cheney and his ever tricky heart. I don't know if I ever actually encouraged his heart to go out or not. I sort of figured that it would, but amazingly, that son of a bitch has defied expectations and keeps on ticking to this date.

But the idea that nature and prior bad decisions might take care of our Trump problem, part of me honestly wants to see that happen.

But the other hand, I think I'd rather see Trump live long enough for the indictment, conviction, imprisonment, and ignomious passing in some prison infirmary while banners on cable news discuss "Disgraced Ex-President Trump Passes in Prison at Age X" under shots of his most recent prison mugshot, his hair gray and disheveled over a wrinkled, soulless face. I think I just might want to see that even more than an early exit for the man.

He looks like his health is already taking its told on him, and he knows it. Plus everything snowballing against him he knows it can't last, and he knows all his family will go down to, so he'll try to cut a deal and leave, but he won't get it , then have to leave anyway, or face much worse consequences, and he knows that too. With few tricks left up his sleeve it won't be long before its over for trump. Too much is already known about what he and others have done. Unless putin does a cyber attack against us for him, then claim its say Iran. putin wants to set us up using trump to do it.

Remember what happened with Dick Cheney on September 11? In his words:
http://edition.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/09/11/ar911.king.cheney/

..."his door burst open.
"My [Secret Service] agent all of a sudden materialized right beside me and said, 'Sir, we have to leave now.' He grabbed me and propelled me out of my office, down the hall, and into the underground shelter in the White House," Cheney said."
They will grab Trump and propel him someplace if he refuses to leave.

for just that occasion. He has them convinced the next Democratic POTUS will kill all the Christians, give their jobs to brown people, open the borders and prisons, take all their guns and neuter their children. He has tens (possibly hundreds) of thousands of militiamen and "patriots" on alert. They are old, white and pissed, have nothing to lose and would like nothing more than to be remembered as dying for "their" country and as martyrs for the Lord.

"Our qualified and experienced military, law enforcement and first responder veterans will train the American people up to a similar high standard. Such individuals will form a pool of trained, organized volunteers who will be able to serve as the local militia under the command of a patriotic governor loyal to the Constitution, or if called upon by President Trump to serve the nation."

He is on a rapid downhill slide and will not be able to hold up to oversight and indictments. This is already taking a mental and physical toll on him that he is not capable of rebounding from. I predict he works himself into a stroke, heart attack, or mental break down by the end of March 2019. He will take himself out.

Somehow, he does something to get the twenty-second amendment repealed. He then serves as long as he's able to do so and, on his deathbed, he names Don, Jr. his successor. Unrealistic, I'll grant you, but I'm sure he would want to do just that, if it were possible.

The Dem will be elected in 2020 and she will be inaugurated on January 20, 2021. At that point, Orange Ass Face will no longer be the President of the United States and the Secret Service will remove him from the White House.

Getting dragged out by the Secret Service would be far too humiliating. I predict that he will go out in a wheel chair or a stretcher. It may be a real health issue, but more probably a fake illness to save face. He's such a liar. He'll hire some quack doctor to state some "honorable" illness like heart disease, or pancreatic cancer, or something like that. But not mental illness or exhaustion. If the Dr says mental illness of exhaustion, then it probably is. His fragile ego cannot tolerate the ignomy of defeat.

There will probably be Republicans who will run in the primary, although they know they can't win in a general election. But they will run to get name recognition and to get labelled as possible GOP party leader. It's becoming more clear to me that Trump can't win a GOP primary. The establishment GOP are plotting how to recover control. Wall St can't be too happy with the tariffs. It don't look too good for Donnie boy.
