The closer Mueller gets to Trump, the more I think 45 is gonna fake an illness

[nadine_mn]

As the the investigations and witnesses start closing in on Trump, if the GOP starts calling for impeachment or resignation...I think Trump is going to have some type of serious illness that requires him to step down...he will martyr it out about how he doesn't want to, but bone spurs at his age are always fatal, and he wants to spend what precious time he has left with his family (that will be the spin of course).

He won't quit or resign...his ego is too big. But at some point there won't be anyone else left to throw under the bus or to fire and when backed into a corner, he will fake some obscure illness (that will have a miraculous cure after Pence pardons him).

He can't say he has a better opportunity or someone offered him lots of money to run their country, plus his core supporters would finally drop him if he quit. And he needs an adoring crowd. Just think how much he would eat up his supporters praying for his health and speedy recovery. Hmmm maybe not an illness since he is the healthiest president ever...maybe some freak accident or staged attempt at his life (or Melania's...he wouldn't want to risk something going wrong with a fake attempt on him). Then he could play the role of concerned spouse, family man...say some bullshit about putting his family first, and of course blame the haters and Hillary.

And swear if it hadn't been for the freak accident/illness/attempt on his safety he would have fired Mueller and proved he wasn't Putins puppet.

Because at the end of the day he is a coward. And soon he is going to run out of ways to save his orange face.

1. No need to fake one. His mental illness is making the whole country sick. (nm)

2. Truly.

[world wide wally]

3. And I know he can surely get a note from his doctor

[SHRED]

4. That won't save him

Mueller will continue.

5. Agreed. Multiple federal and state charges...

...not to mention the lawsuits all pending investigation. There is no reprieve from the tower of shit he has set in motion by inviting all this attention. People who have things to hide should really know better than to step into the spotlight in such a brazen way...

7. I can't see him making the whole term

But his narcissistic personality won't let him do the right thing and resign, but he is going to need a reason to get his core supporters to rally

6. I Think He Will Collapse From The Stress Of Looking At A Jail Cell In His Future

I am half amazed he hasn't had "an event" already.

8. Is there a sentence of "enforced supervised homelessness?"

Say, at the dump in Mexico City?

I'm sure Peña whatever would gladly pay for some fencing to keep him from slithering off

[rockfordfile]

9. I think Trumpf has been doing that for sometime now

10. Alzheimer's

He's showing every sign. In particular, he's doing that thing where he just makes stuff up when he can't remember. He wouldn't need to make up a disease, he's already got it.

11. Alternatively, he could simply stop faking health

[SweetieD]

12. He would never fake his own illness because he would think it would make him look weak.

He might fake that Melania has an illness though and say he has to quit to take care of her.

I don't even think Trump would fake an illness for Baron because again he would imply that would make Trump look weak by proxy.
