"I'm too good for you people. I'm out of here." . . . End game coming?

If The National Enquirer informed Mueller of Ivanka's felonies as Talking Points Memo suggests (link below), what will Trump do?

With everything else (multiple investigations into him, his close friends, and his family, and the legal difficulties ahead), he might well resign.

There are a number of stories on The Esquire's knowledge of Ivank's possible criminal activity, which means Mueller would now know. Here's the Talking Points Memo story (Google the rest):

"I'm leaving to save my adult children" sounds better than "I'm leaving to save my ass."

Because he sees her as himself as a beautiful woman who he'd like to have sex with, only because there could be no higher honor than having sex with himself.

Yeah, I think he's a sicko.

.....maybe?

"I'm too good for you people" sounds exactly like something he'd say. Plus, he never takes responsibility for anything he does.

It's like "you people don't deserve me. I'm so wonderful, I'm going to find another country that admires me and wants me to be their leader."

Yes, he's that childish/arrested development mindset.

Until I finally saw this meme (and I like yours even better) I never agreed with any of the hopeful claims that he'd quit. Now I see a way for him to do it and in his own mind keep his dignity.

He's probably not clever enough to consider relocating somewhere we don't have an extradition treaty with, but at least some of those around him are.

If I were a better writer of science fiction I'd craft a quick story where he announces a state visit to one of those countries (I just looked at a list and most of them really are shit-hole countries), steps off the plane, and effectively disappears. If that were to happen, I wonder how long it would take to declare him something along the lines of missing and presumed never coming back.

Something along the lines of, "I accomplished everything I set out to accomplish as president in just one term, so there's no need for a second term, and now I'm going to just retire and enjoy all the wonderfulness I single-handedly created."
