I wish I could agree that TRump could be induced to leave the race, but,

I believe, unfortunately, that he's past that point, due to the involvement and support of his "team", including his adult children and managers.
They are now so invested in his race that would/will cover for him and persuade him to carry on, even when he is really no longer able.
We've seen this happen with entertainment celebrities surrounded by team members and hangers-on, so that the entertainers linger on in the business, at lessened capacity.
We also saw it happen in the 1980's, when the President of the US continued in office long past his capacity.

"A rising tide lifts all ships".

When these other constituencies that you mention do well. you will do well also.

Now that is funny!

Wonder where the bottom pic was taken.

You are correct re children underage. However, those adult kids of

Donald's give me the creeps.
They're always hanging around just over his shoulder.
Especially Eric and Donald Jr.
