Keep the Pressure on Trump, Media!

Just keep pushing him with facts and he'll explode into tiny, stinky particles at some point. He has no real skill at being calm and reasonable. So, the more you discover and report, the higher the pressure inside his already over-pressured body will grow. He'll spew bile and noxious gasses from his safety valve mouth, but it won't be enough.

Just keep the pressure on this awful man who got elected as President and we'll be rid of him soon. Cause him to explode and we'll all be entertained by the show, to the benefit of your ratings. It's a win-win situation for you folks in the media. He'll give you plenty to report and it will all be the stuff of a reporter's dreams. Don't let up. It's getting closer and closer.

We'll just watch the pressure build and wait impatiently for the show that will follow when the internal forces exceed the maximum internal pressure that can be contained. Your reward for this will be continued viewing and reading by all of us who are eagerly anticipating the explosion to come. Thanks for your work so far, and keep us informed!

The same from grade school all the way to w.h.. Someone who shows no fear and stand up to the bully(armed with facts even better) and watch him melt.

As long as the media keeps putting strong pressure on him, the odds are good that he'll resign at some point.

connecting all the information becomes easier.

One hopes that at a certain time, people decide to talk about what they know in hopes of immunity.

But the hard core Trump supporters will see this as evidence of THE GREAT CONSPIRACY that fits within their paranoid world view.

You could tell it was making him nuts (and we came to find out later that he was drunkenly wandering around the WH at night, talking to presidents' portraits). But Nixon was able to control the worst symptoms of his mental state well enough to seem basically sane in public, though I wonder what he'd have done if he'd had Twitter. He seemed too tightly wound but not quite barking mad. Nixon knew he was in deep shit but thought he could beat the rap, at least until the Supremes ordered the secret tapes to be released. Even then, he managed to avoid ranting in public.

Trump, on the other hand, started out crazier than Nixon at his craziest, and he certainly never expected that his years of playing footsie with the Russians would ever be revealed - since he'd always gotten away with the lying, cheating and stealing that has always been at the core of the Trump enterprises. He is now discovering, to his dismay, that being president is a whole 'nother ball game. He won't be able to withstand the pressure of being investigated because he isn't used to the scrutiny and because he thinks he's entitled to do whatever the hell he wants. We will wait with bated breath for the final explosion; I just hope it doesn't ruin the upholstery in the Oval Office.
