Will Trump step down to be with the woman he loves?
This would be a great ending for a reality show.

Do what he has always done - blame someone else for his bullshit. This will all be the M$M fault - that and the time machine Michelle Obama used to move into the future to steal his trophy wife's words...

He will either go onstage and try to blame others to "protect" his wife...

...or he will resign to "protect" his wife.

Methinks his ego would prefer the former, but his wife would prefer the latter.

He will throw out some conspiracy theory about the media trying to destroy him and claim that the system is rigged against him and his family. Watch for the crocodile tears. The lapdogs at the convention will lap this up (at least those between bouts of explosive diarrhea). Same shit, different day from this campaign.

"It is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt".

That applies here.

I guarantee, there will be a lot of forced applause combined with some awkward silence when Melania steps out on stage.

Going to be damage control by misdirection.

This story has taken on a life of its own and is dominating the news.

They are trying to minimize it, but this rich white privildge cheating stuff resonates.

Does a full moon really trigger strange behavior? We shall see!

“It is the very error of the moon.
She comes more near the earth
than she was wont. And makes
men mad.”
—William Shakespeare, Othello
