    In the wake of the non-stop scandals surrounding Agent Orange, Tony Schwartz, the ghost-writer of Trump's best seller, "Art Of The Deal", a book often cited on the campaign trail last year
    [​IMG] opines that​
    Trump will resign and declare victory !

    Schwartz said the president will soon look for a way out of all of his administration’s scandals.

    “There is no right and wrong for Trump, there’s winning and losing,”
    “And right now, he is in pure terror that he is going to lose.”​

    Schwartz predicted that Trump would ultimately “lose,” but said he won’t go through an impeachment process.

    “I surely believe that at some point over the next period of time he’s going to have to
    figure out a way to resign,” "But in quitting, Trump will try to “figure out a way, as he has
    done all his career, to turn a loss into a victory so he will declare victory when he leaves.”



    “I think he’s reacting from a survival place. I think he’s being run by the part of his brain that’s
    reactive and impulsive, not capable of reflection and I think he’s in pure defensive mode.”

    Schwartz, who wrote an op-ed about Trump earlier this week in The Washington Post, also
    had a warning for some of those closest to the president.

    “Evidence of his meltdown is the fact that he’s starting to scream at Jared Kushner,”
    “Honestly, I think Ivanka is next. His sons might be spared for now since
    they’re not really in the White House picture.

    Plausible. His ego could not handle an impeachment, that's for sure.

    Really wondering how he has any way out in which he can declare victory.

    Who would play Trump in the upcoming movies? Alec Baldwin?

    Has Trump ever needed a plausible reason to declare victory?

    He did not realize running the country as the president is not the same as running his country, people do not follow his command or get fired. He is in way over his head now, but if he wishes to, he can still last this term IMO. I think some of his advisers could be charged, I still do not see it get to him because he can always claim he did not know it.

    I think for his own ego he needs to offer Trumpers some plausible deniability. I think the best he's going to be able to do is to say he was the victim of a witch hunt and the fat cats of the Deep State and the Liberal Media were out to get him because he threatened their power by bringing real reform. He still goes out a loser that way, defeated by the Deep State, but maybe it hurts less when you can cast yourself as a martyr.

    Being a living martyr would be great great for his ego. I can totally see it.

    If he does resign he will make a big fuss about "fake news" and the insiders being against him. His sheep will follow him to his news network.

    Unless he were to somehow go to prison. There is absolutely no other alternative where he comes out a loser in this. He will make a ton of money for the busiest con job of all time. He also owes some $$ to Hilary Clinton for being the special person she is.

    He can look to someone he considers a really great lady, an amazing woman with a great family...Sarah Palin.

    I personally held to the belief during the campaign that he never really wanted to be president but he enjoyed the process, the rallies in particular.

    The unwavering adulation those rallies gave him were like catnip to his enormous ego, which is why he continued to have them after he became president.

    Trump does not have to be out. All he needs is to land a war for the country. He will be safe and loved. NK is a good target according to recent MSM lies.

    Absolutely. He already started the narrative.

    It wouldn't be the first time a British actor played an American president.

    I can see him looking like Trump with the right makeup and hair.

    I predicted more than a year ago that if Trump won he might resign before his term is over.

    Trump may not, but it looks like Pence does... and Trump says, "Et tu...?"

    Pence moves to launch PAC amid White House turmoil
