Can't do a poll like I have seen.
But
An intervention to get Trump to resign?
Starting a war or bombing North Korea to distract?
They know Mueller is about to hand in the indictment?
Or after what Col Wilkerson said on All In and follow last days of Rome when Military took control.

(6,377 posts)It's an emergency meeting to try to do damage control on Trump's comments yesterday.
I think it's far too early for them to be talking about resignation...he's still polling in the mid to upper 30s. He'd need to sink into at least the mid 20s before resigning. Nixon was at 24 when he stepped down.
Maybe they think Mueller is onto something big, but I also feel like if the big bombshell was about to drop, we would have heard something, anything, and we haven't.
Can't imagine them bombing North Korea considering North Korea actually stepped back yesterday.

(6,377 posts)That's a war that nobody, from either side of the political spectrum, wants to see.

(1,660 posts)Trump last Friday said military options were a consideration in Venezuela. That shocked people but that night is when the torch lit nazi event happened which kicked the Venezuela remarks off the news.
Trump's people are very interested in that region. And it seems like they want to act fast.

(590 posts)I don't know, but I don't expect it is some reaction to recent events. I assume they are planning something. Trump has a campaign event in Phoenix coming up.

(29,098 posts)At some point early upon arrival he will be drugged. He will remain asleep for a number of hours. Upon awakening he will be told that he has suffered a serious illness and must stand down temporarily to assure his recovery. Pence will step in. This will give the base a period of time to adjust. Of course they will feel this is the compassionate solution.

(28,089 posts)and if this happens lets hope Mueller doesn't get shut down in one of those "for the good of country, let's put this all behind us" scams.

(16,254 posts)He's probably going to Camp David to keep from being hit with demonstrations. People are angry enough those situations would instantly pop up across the country, no matter where he lands.
The only reason he'd be talking about Afghanistan is if he was awarding a no-bid contract to Erik Prince to take over that battle. God help us.
