A couple of ideas why Donald Trump has lost and is going down.

... Of course Donald Trump thinks he is "so smart". And Donald has so much business experience that makes him think he is even "smarter." Of course, Donald "thinks he is smart".
...Actually there are two truths that prove Donald is going down. A: Pelosi and Schiff have a lot more government experience than Dopey Donald. Therefore, they know a lot more about the business of the federal government than Dopey Donald could possibly imagine.
... B: Real smart people don't go blabbing all the time, and don't go around telling everyone that they are "smart." An example of "B" is our last President, Barack Obama. Obama is really smart and highly respected. One of the most respected individuals in the entire world. Does anyone remember Obama going around telling people, "I am smart"? I don't recall that one, do you?
...Being "smart" involves not blabbing all the time about everything. I think Dopey Donald does not pass that test. Does he? Donald Drump is going down. He has already fallen off the cliff in my opinion.

2. He just got caught, that is all

Trump for almost 3 years now has been using the entire executive branch of the government for his own personal financial and political gain. This was just too brazen even for the scum bags he's surrounded himself with. And they don't even really care that he did it, they just care that they might be caught up in it.

6. Yes, very easy for everyone to understand and not complicated at all.

Almost like getting your hand stuck in the cookie jar. Everyone knows what that means, and we can all easily imagine that. (in fact when I was young, I think that happened to me.)

His usual remedy/threat, "I'll sue!" just means he has to sue the government itself, which would be a rather odd circle. I mean, it is already like this: Donald J. Trump vs. The United States of America.

There is a sardonic humor in that. Meanwhile, he will desperately resort to other methods to prevent being deposed.

9. The crazy thing is, he didn't have to do anything.

He was inaugurated with a GOP House and Senate who didn’t care about his tax returns or his properties. He could have played golf and held rallies for 4 or even 8 years, as long as he signed whatever they wanted him to sign. Even with Dems taking the House in 2018, if he had just kept his mouth shut and stayed off Twitter, there probably wouldn’t have been enough impetus to impeach him.

But, no, he knew how to outsmart them all and he came up with all manner of plots and scams and cons to try and pull off. And it’s all blowing up. Just like all his bankruptcies when he would be much wealthier if he’d done nothing at all with all the money he inherited from his father.
