I wonder. If he resigns and Pence pardons him he would still face NY charges. I wonder if he would have the guts to do so...

(62,423 posts)I think Epstein must have had some help from a Trump or a Barr or a Putin.
My guess is that if Trump asked Putin nicely, Putin would help.

...but that will happen regardless of where he is domiciled.
My husband is convinced Trump will use an insanity plea if he goes to court. I say his ego would never allow that.

(60,010 posts)That severely sick ego of his would never allow for even the idea of him being less than perfect.
Ego must be protected at all costs.
If he can he will get someone to intercede and make a deal for him, that is his history.
I find it fascinating that he has been able to find so many people to do that, in his long and checkered history/

(60,010 posts)His Inaugural Comm. spending is being investigated, and his long time, dear, friend, Tom Barrack was the head of the committee.
Now Trump is saying he is "shocked, shocked I tell you" there were shenanigans going on, tho of course HE had nothing to do with it.
