Narcissists cannot control themselves. Pelosi and the Democrats are doing a great job keeping the pressure on Trump.

Also, his obsession with Obama, Hillary's emails, the Ukraine server that his own people told him was debunked more than two years ago.

This president unravels under pressure, but he could also cause a lot of damage. If he could simply crack up without causing a lot of collateral damage--rendering himself unelectable and possibly impeachable even by the Senate--that would be the best scenario. But he could continue on with his scorched earth path too.
Dr. Bandy Lee and her group of psychiatrists issued a similar warning about how impeachment would drive Trump over the edge. (But they didn't say "don't do it"

(82,849 posts)Yes, removing Trump from office is a desirable outcome that should be pursued with all vigor and celerity. Every extra day Trump squats in the White House is another day the explosives canister might go off. However, actual removal is up to the Senate, controlled by Republicans. We need to be sure that Senate Republicans feel the pressure every bit as much as Trump is feeling the pressure. We need to make it clear to Senate Republicans that the American people expect, nay demand, they do their duty under the Constitution, no matter how many times Lord Littlehands declares it to be phony.
