Not a chance on resignation. Way too much of a narcissist. Impeachment, much more probable.

nah, he's got fall guys. Easy bet on seeing full term. don't you know how corruption works???

Possibly. His ego is mighty. Is your $ on Impeachment ssorenn?

It will in large measure depend on the economy come April of 2018. If it has collapsed, the midterms will be brutal and may put the democrats in charge. Otherwise, Trump could have the entire Democratic caucus assassinated and the Republicans wouldn't impeach him. They love Pence but the stain would be too much. They'll tell trump to go golfing and leave everything to Pence but not impeach him

I think he'll serve out his full term. republicans control the house and senate, and he's passing all kinds of right winged legislation and executive orders. Barring anything catastrophic, he's got the full 4 years I'd say rather certainly.

Mike Pence came on board as assassination protection and is probably quite hopeful that his boss will get himself kicked. I would bet on some attempt at impeachment, but it won't happen under a Republican Congress unless he really, really, *really* pisses them off.

He's already made a mission of skipping past the Republicans in Congress and then asking them to foot the bill on his projects, so he's already racking up points to piss them off.

@Ogion: I forgot about golf...

Apparently there's a 98.1% chance that Hillary will win the election guise!

I sure hope those republicans respect the result! :D

Trump will serve his full 4 years and get crushed in 2020.

The only reason he won't get impeached is because Republicans in Congress put power ahead of country.

No way he resigns. Ego >>> boredom for him. While he'll do things worthy of impeachment, it won't happen. Four years and done, and then we start the clean up.

Yeah, Prado, pissing them off, sure, but enough for them to impeach him? Yeah right. Unless Paul Ryan and Mike Pence strike some kind of crazy deal and the rest of the party follows in a short-sighted quest to get away from Trump while simultaneously alienating a massive portion of their voter base, it won't happen. When I say really, really piss them off, I mean Trump will have to order the sanctioned assassination of one them or something - sarcasm, of course, but that's the drastic choice it would take to get the Republicans to unite in being rid of him.

I'm going for impeachment since Trump wouldn't resign even if he suffered a medical problem that prevented him from serving. Here's hoping for a severe stroke so he can't talk.

What would be even more fun is Trump's voter fraud investigation shows ballot irregularities that cause him to lose electoral votes in enough states that he loses the election and it causes a constitutional crisis since the election has already been certified.

I'm sure you mean 8 years, slypups.

No. He won't be reelected.

I can see him not running.

Trump will resign for some vague and undefined health reasons in 12-18 months.

That, or there will be a coup.

The Republican party would never survive impeaching Trump, I don't see him leaving voluntarily, and an assassination would just be too vulgar/blatant and would result in millions of GUN OWNERS rioting in the street (and the mechanics are complicated by the fact that Trump has his own personal security detail that doesn't answer to the SS).

They don't answer to SS? Is that legal?

He will be President for 8 years. Mike Pence will get 4 most likely afterwards. Trump is the Reagan of our era.

From what I read, Trump has a Secret Service detail *and* his own private security. The SS certainly isn't happy about it, but Trump is no dummy and knows he won't survive without surrounding himself with people who are personally loyal to him.

I'm pretty sure Regan mentioned something about tearing down a wall, not putting one up.

I put Trump resigning at about 40%, a coup at 35%, and the odds of the coup being successful at about 60% - after the economy crashes again.

All numbers completely pulled out of my behind, of course.

Matticus, the wall Reagan was talking about was to keep people in. Trump's wall would keep people out. It's a pretty simple distinction, and I'm shocked there are so many people who can't understand it.

Not a bet I would take either way. Way too much uncertainty, either one could happen honestly. If they could get Nixon out of there, they can get Trump out. Who knows if it will actually happen though.

I'm not convinced the wall isn't to keep us in Tolstoy. I understand what the Berlin Wall was for. Do you understand what trolling is?

I do, and if you were trolling, you were far too subtle about it. You just came off as dim and ignorant, not witty and clever.

ND, keep drinkin' the Kool-Aid.

@Tolstoy ... I know this is Vice, but check it out. I thought about a coup too, but it seems like an awfully massive endeavor, more than in most nations.
