NO...Trump WOULD NOT "quit the presidency before he would sell out his children"

Ex-federal prosecutor thinks Trump will quit the presidency before he would sell out his children

“That is pressure on the president?” Matthews asked.

“He’s not going to put his kids in jail. That’s the only redeeming quality of the guy,” Alksne said.

“He would give up the presidency to free them?” Matthes asked.

“Yes,” Alksne responded.

1. Everyone politely says, "Of course, he loves his children."

But there's no real evidence for that. He was supposedly abusive to the first three's mother, and also witnesses have said he punched Donnie Jr. Ivanka has made very clear that if she hadn't-- as a young teen-- kept "pursuing" him after the divorce, she would almost never have seen him. He apparently saw Tiffany only a couple times a year when she was a child. He pays utterly no attention to Barron (which is probably best for the poor kid).

I see no evidence of love, especially sacrificial love. I think he'd put himself before each of them, and his wife too. He's already fixing to sling Donnie Jr in Mueller's path.

and this is when she was still a minor.

he would easily sell out any and all of them if it meant saving his own ass.

3. I think that's a 50-50 deal if Ivanka is included in an indictment.

Maybe 70-30 in favor of selling out the boys vs leaving the presidency.

7. He would only do that as an excuse to quit.

If he knows he is about to get a blue wave of police officers coming after him he would say he is leaving his job "for them". In reality we know he only loves himself and would use them, or pretty much anything, to save his own fat ass.
