everything to the VP and go play golf far away and then he will come back in time for the 2018 conpaign activity.
Then he will do it again until the 2020 election season.

(8,012 posts)He wants to prove he will once again be the winner (at whatever cost). His ego wouldn't allow Article 25 because he has to always be the best, the smartest, the strongest.

(51,626 posts)He lives for chaos and creates it on purpose. His ego would never let him leave office without kicking and screaming the whole time. He should be kicked out using the 25th Amend but his cabinet is getting too rich to do such a thing. Money is their true love (not our country or the Fucking Moron).

(22,976 posts)Just like some dry alcoholics. He only feels alive when hes stirring up some major shit somewhere, often on multiple fronts simultaneously. Sure, he is bored at times and couldnt give a shit about most people. But now that hes taken his sad act to the public, he definitely gets off on the battling, the posturing, the bloviating, the bullshit, and having the bully pulpit to screw with peoples lives.
Is he happy in the job? No. But hes never happy with anything, other than his daughter, Ivanka. I wouldnt bet on him going anywhere, especially now that the Republican Party has lined up behind him, supporting the entirely false narrative where Trump has cast himself as THE beleaguered victim.

(32,068 posts)The doctor was appointed by President Obama to be the White House personal physician in 2013. Unless you believe Obama would appoint an unethical person to such a position that would do whatever the president wanted. What the poster you replied to left out was that the doctor was joking with reporters when he made the 200 years comment.

(50,254 posts)Are you implying that he could have Article 25 invoked to leave the presidency, then somehow just take the presidency back?

(50,254 posts)That is so deeply weird.
(btw...if T___p DID come back after a "25th break", would he still be the 45th president? or Pence(who I'm now picturing as "drag Sally Langston" be the 46th and a returned T___p be the 47th?
Is this a way for T___p to accumulate more presidential numbers than anybody else?

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.[3]

He's loving every minute of the spotlight. He's more likely to fire Mueller than resign.

(10,005 posts)He has 50 yrs to learn how to exist by keeping everything in his head. I will bet he can tell where every penney in hundreds of general ledgers accounts is located.
Also he learned that systems can be foiled by its complexity.
He will not quit; just let Pence do the leg work and just come back after LaborDay for the election.

(45,524 posts)His businesses are a con game, moving money around, threatening lawsuits, and refusing to pay. He's the clown that bankrupted a casino. American lenders refused to lend him anything and he had to turn to Russian oligarchs for capital. Savant? That's laughable.
He doesn't have dyslexia, his poor reading skills are caused by aging eyesight and the refusal to wear reading glasses.

(115,829 posts)He lives for publicity and he loves stirring up shit just to get attention. He's the last person who'd retire, even temporarily, in order to spend time quietly playing golf; he has to get his media attention fix every single day.
