Has it occured to anyone that Tre45on *can't* resign bc PUTIN won't let him?

I keep seeing all these thread about how Tre45on will strike a deal to resign for non prosecution or to save the eldest three traitor tots, but I don't think PUTIN will let him do that.

He is under THEIR control, not his own...and not ours.

What makes posters here think that he would quit? Do you all listen to him? Has nothing to do with anyone except Trump. He says he is doing a great 👍job. He won't leave willingly.

4. He won't resign because the presidency is the only thing keeping him unindicted

But beyond that, he really thinks that he’s doing a good job and most Americans love him. Narcissists aren’t known for their keen self-awareness.

The Putin-controls-Trump conspiracies are out of control on this site. Get a grip - until a direct link is shown somewhere.

8. Correlations. Not causal links.

We've seen nothing saying that he's taking orders from Putin. He makes idiotic choices because he's an ignorant troll.

THAT is why Putin wanted him in there - Trump is a terrible executive who DGAF about resisting Putin's Agenda.

"Putin told Trump to do X or he'll release the Pee Tape" is not how this works.

Show me Causal Links.

Putin is too smart to leave Causal Links laying in the open.

19. Casual Links? Helsinki much? Ummm...how about his asset is in the oval, and when asked

he said he did it. In Helsinki

But I have noted that you think Putin is "too smart" to "leave casual links in the open". But that's YOUR goal post, really.

15. Putin would definitely enjoy a big messy impeachment here, but...

I think the number one roadblock to a trump resignation is his big fat ego, along with his ongoing need to dangle pardon carrots in front of his lackeys and corrupt children

16. He won't resign

because he has no understanding of consequences for his actions.

He doesn't care who else goes to prison, they aren't him and if it is his sons, he gets to talk about what a victim that makes him.

His experience thus far is that everyone bows and scrapes to him and the worst possible consequence he's ever faced is a fine, which he then deducts from his taxes and makes money on.

Any humiliation is just more for him to rant about and it gives him an excuse to belittle and abuse the people around him, which gives him joy and makes him feel powerful.

He'll never resign, he loves the chaos too much.
