Trump is surrounded with no way out.

The number of investigations Trump is facing is not survivable. Many of these investigations are leading to more investigations.

Trumps tax returns and his business deals are all going to exposed, which will probably lead to more investigations.

Cohen is going to make a deal. There is no telling what kind of information he has about Trump. It has been reported he has over 100 recordings. He knows about Trumps business deals which could lead to more investigations. Trump is going to be under investigation the rest of his life. He is fucked and I think he knows it.

We will probable find out about more women who Trump paid off. There is a rumor of a pregnancy. Things are going to snowball out of control for Trump. He is facing federal investigations and state investigations. If the Democrats take back the house that will lead to many more investigations. This November may be Trumps Last Stand.

Soon Trump is going to have to make a decision. Surrender and resign or fight and be completely destroyed.

That's about the ultimate sin in their books. However, will they forgive this too because of their total hypocrisy, unchristian like views and racial hatred? They stand for nothing these days except self dealing and rw power, certainly oppose God and his commands.

By using his pardon power and firing everyone in sight. I honestly think he will sow as much chaos as he can.

At this point I don't think you can call all the dogs off. It is unlikely there will be a sweetheart Agnew deal or a Nixon pardon deal in the offing. It is personal and Trump has made it this way.

He is starting to do that with the stupid tariff war. Whenever Trump sees he is losing or about to lose he looks for an exit. Trumps best bet may be to resign, make a deal with pence for a pardon on all federal charges. Trump could make up a lie why he is resigning, he has no problem lying. Pence could lie about why he is pardoning Trump by saying it's the christian thing to do.

Then Trump would only have to fight the state charges that may be coming. Tax fraud, bank fraud.

Its over and it'll expose all his lies , and he's probably broke and in debt up to his eyeballs, and so corrupt and criminal even long time prosecutors will be surprised everything he's done, and been involved in, and has been committing treason, giving the enemy top secrets and information , and taking orders from putin for some time. Even the republicans will quickly turn on him trying to deflect their doing nothing to him. His criminal activities will be horrific when it goes public. Either way he goes he knows he'll lose now, and Mueller has him scared and ready to get Jared very soon.

On trump and that putin is giving him orders, and was behind revoking security clearances to top officials . Probably Putin has been behind the attacks on Hillary and trying to use trump to criminalize her. Its worse than we thought but Mueller already knows it all.

Not for him, or his grifting family. Running for office is the stupidest thing he has ever done (a high bar); winning the most consequential. At this point I think "destroyed" is baked into the cake.

He is so vindictive he will most certainly do something so that the rest of us suffer along with him. He's like the bratty little kid who is losing at the game Monopoly, so he up-ends the board and throws all the money, deeds and pieces all over the place so nobody else can continue playing either.

incredibly damning, 100% jailable material, multiple times over in just the pure volume of recorded conversations- especially when you're talking about the presumably secret and protected conversations of one of the most corrupted and unscrupulous people we've ever seen in the country. A truly good person could maybe survive being subjected to that level of scrutiny, under those circumstances....but Trump? FUCK no. Those recordings are the Drake Equation of US politics. Unless he can get it all excluded for prosecution purposes, as far as the math is concerned, the dude is going to jail.
