Trump will Resign After Signing Tax Bill?

Does anyone else think Trump will resign after signing the tax bill? I think he will resign after signing the tax bill.
Resigning after the tax bill will allow him to go out with a bang. I do not think Trump wants a second term. I also think the Republican Party will do everthing to keep him off the ballot in 2020. I also think Trump knows the Republicans want someone else to run for President in 2020. This way he will not be embarrassed by being pushed aside. In addition, neither the Democrats nor Robert Mueller will be able force him out of office. He will be able to say being President is boring and he wants to go back to the exciting life of a businessman.

All these fantasies about the repubs suddenly turning on Drumpf.

And hoping that he will resign on his own? LOL!!!!

We'll be lucky if he leaves prior to January 2021.

Dictators do not go voluntarily. And ruling parties do not force their dictator to go. Believing that now he will retire, since he already robbed the bank, is ridiculous. There are more banks and stores to loot and rob. Why would he leave now?

He's not resigning. He'll have to be wheeled out of the White House on a hand truck, bundled up in a straight jacket and wearing a hockey mask like Hannibal Lecter.

He creates chaos wherever he goes, and that's what the GOP leadership and the Russian Mobsters want - they can hide behind him and continue to loot until there's nothing left.

When he is no longer an asset, they'll get rid of him. One way or another. He's not healthy, after all.

As long as he's pResident, Mueller can't arrest him. As stupid as he is, basic animal instinct will make him stay in office to protect himself as long as possible. He's got to be thinking that he can somehow derail Mueller only from the Oval Office. If he gives it up, he's toast.

Predictions about Trump quitting show up here with alarming frequency and are always silly.

It was predicted that he would drop out of the campaign during the primaries. That he would drop out of the campaign before the convention. That he would drop out of the campaign after the convention but before election day. That he would quit between election day and inauguration day. That he would quit shortly after inauguration day.

No, he's not going to quit simply because the tax bill was passed. The tax bill is his big "win" but it would have happened even if Pence was president.

stated several times before he's never quitting unless he's forcefully removed through impeachment. The man has an ego the size of a mountain that it won't allow him to ever quit the job no matter how much he hates it.

So many far out posts like this have me wondering if there is some scheme by RW plants to make us look like we have lost our minds.
