My IMO, Dt45 is going to call his doctor to give him a reason to trip Article 25 and leave

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.

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.

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).

Just like some “dry alcoholics.” He only feels alive when he’s stirring up some major shit somewhere, often on multiple fronts simultaneously. Sure, he is bored at times and couldn’t give a shit about most people. But now that he’s 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 people’s lives.

Is he happy in the job? No. But he’s never happy with anything, other than his daughter, Ivanka. I wouldn’t 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.

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.

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

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&quot 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?

the VP becomes acting POTUS until he/she is fit to return.





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]

taking credit for Obama's economy, prompting standing ovations from sycophants, and leading the applause.

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

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.

PS Fell asleep early in the State of the Union.

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.

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.
