Some posters on this site have been saying Trump would resign since 2016 -- before that election even. And the predictions have continued since them. Well they have 18 more days...

that would be admitting he lost which he will never do. Its why I have a hard time believing the rumors that he will attend the inauguration

Nobody believed him, but he never cared.

I would be happy enough if dropped dead on the spot, before he could grant anymore pardons and I want to see the look on all these crooks faces when someone tells them, especially his spawn.

Pence who has no reason to give him anything? The way Trump projects his own worst thoughts, he would expect Pence to flip because that is what he would do.

He'd lose power with his base. Which means he'd lose money he's worked to secure.

It'll never happen. It's not the angle he's working here.
