When Trump resigns, what reason (excuse) will he give?

I'm placing my bet on:

"The American government is a basket case. It's so badly broken that even a great mind like mine can't fix it anymore. And I have the greatest mind, believe me. True patriots like you and me lost the war. It's time to leave a failed covfefe to the PC bleeding hearts. They don't want me, then it's their loss. Just wait, America. You'll be sorry you didn't follow me like you should have. I could have fixed it. I'm the only one that could have fixed it, and now it's too late. Sad."

that will come as soon as we get his tax returns and info on his criminal activities prior to his run for the Presidency. He never believed he'd win, so he didn't or wasn't smart enough to know pissing off the entire IC and FBI would be so motivational to them.
Remember, he is a sociopath that will do the unexpected in order to keep his ego inflated....even if it means trying to elicit sympathy from his evil base.

Zombies are not legal residents of the United States and as such I expect him to promptly be gathered up by ICE and deported to where ever you deport zombies to.

Think about Putin and all his Russian mafia-types, and consider the frequency of heart attacks in that circle. Now consider the reality that he's pissed off the CIA, Mossad, and a significant portion of Europe. If I was him I'd be using a food taster and I'd stay out of convertibles in Texas. Honestly, I feel sorry for his Secret Service detail--every one of those guys is in danger. I would suggest that anybody he invites for dinner or drinks consider using a taster too.

I think somebody will take him out just as soon as the folks at the top of the food chain tell them to. Much as I dislike that orange anus, it will really piss me off if somebody turns him into a martyr.

Trump owes a lot of money to a lot of people you do NOT fail to repay, and he can't afford to pay them back. The only thing keeping him alive is the favors he can only do for them if he's in the White House. If he attempts to resign, his life expectancy is measurable in days.

"Plus, I can hobnob with the russkies without the "dishonest media" hounding me." --Trump's fantasy

Reality-- he's headed for the slammer. It's not a matter of if, but when.
