This trend toward pundits saying Trump will bail after the midterms is becoming really tiresome [View all]

People who are saying things like:

"If you lose big time at the midterms and then just come up with some health excuse or other excuse to go home early"

...don't really understand Trump at all.

IF HE IS WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF HIS DIRT NAP, MAYBE.

But Trump's ego won't let him walk away for ANY reason. He'll keep blaming Obama and Biden. He's not going to "come up with a health excuse" and step away from the obscene financial enrichment he's cultivated in the first 15 months of his "presidency."

I wish the pundits would give this a rest, because it creates false expectations at a time when we need our feet on the ground, not our heads in the clouds.
