Trump's saving grace....

..well, as much as it is possible.

Had a thought this morning, how are his kids taking this? Their dad holding the presidency isn't just seriously harming their company and brand domestically, but internationally as well. Are their serious debts? Nothing that a Chapter 11 can't fix. They may lose overseas assets, but you won't lose it all.

But trashing your brand to at least half of the population in the US...and then who knows globally, is not good for business. Impeachment or resignation won't allow them to recover from set back. You could go down with the likes of Enron, Bear-Stearns, Madoff Investment, etc.

So, how do you recover?

The answer is simple, 25th amendment. The doctor who gave Trump a clean bill of health is a fruit cake. Trump suffering from a form of dementia absolves him and embarrasses the electorate that voted for him... Also explains some of the cabinet sticking it out, wouldn't be surprised if they say "we stuck around because we knew there was something wrong and knew we would have to fulfill our patriotic duty". It will salvage their party and give them some time to re-org.

The kids can say, "we didn't think he would get elected, once he did we worked to advise him to get the cabinet that would eventually remove him, we are sorry, yadda yadda yackity yack scmack scmack". So don't be upset at our brand, business, etc. in the end we worked to be the solution...bs and more bs.

This seems the like the logical path, but, its not like logic as won the day as of late.

..are meant to hurt all of us. Why pray tell are we wasting our valuable time, and fogging our liberal mind on those greedy anarchists. ElTtumpfs adult children can excuse their complicit, ignorant, and possible illegal activity until they are blue in the face--they are all a chip off the old block.

just as greedy and manipulative as he is. If they 25th Amendment Twitler for dementia it would make having him declared mentally incompetent to manage his affairs so much easier. Then the greedy little shits wouldn't have to wait for him to die to get their hands on all his money. Plus, he wouldn't be able to use it to bully them. I'm sure the thought has crossed Kushner's mind.

They have to be aware of the monetary consequences of this in the short term and long term. And I don't believe for a minute they have any loyalty towards a father who is willing to chase just about anything wearing a skirt. They are hanging around for an monetary reward.
