After the historic blows he suffered today, any rational President of the United States would be huddled with his legal advisers and trying to figure out how to negotiate his resignation. As we’ve seen time and again, Donald Trump is anything but rational. His presidency died today, and the rest of his life effectively went down the tubes as well. But what will Trump do now?

Cohen: Trump Is A Con Man

In his opening statement before the House oversight committee, Michael Cohen called President Donald Trump a “racist,” a “con man” and a “cheat.”
m.huffpost.com m.huffpost.com

This is now guaranteed to end very badly for Donald Trump. It’s not just that Paul Manafort’s conviction hands all the leverage to Special Counsel Robert Mueller. It’s that Michael Cohen went into court and formally named Trump as his unindicted co-conspirator in a felony violation of federal election law. It’s all downhill for Trump from here, and it’s a rather steep downhill slope. A day like today destabilizes a president to the point that he can’t function, the government can’t function, and the nation can’t function until he’s gone. And after today broke the dam, Trump is only going to have more and more days like this.

So what is Donald Trump’s endgame? He never did try to fire Robert Mueller, and after today’s events, Trump would have a ten times harder time trying to pull it off. Mueller’s legal standing is bolstered now that he’s scored his first set of felony convictions against a Trump-Russia target. And now that Trump is officially a co-conspirator in all this, Trump would be exposing himself to a whole new level of obstruction charges if he were to try firing Mueller.
Trump never has tried to pardon anyone in the Trump-Russia scandal either. Michael Cohen clearly concluded that it was never going to happen when he decided to cut his plea deal. We’ll see if Paul Manafort is under the delusion that a pardon is coming, but as we predicted, Trump distanced himself from Manafort tonight instead of talking about pardoning him. And because Trump is now a co-conspirator, he’d have a much harder convincing the courts to let any attempted pardons stand.



Donald Trump doesn’t appear to have an endgame. Will he simply try to sit there in office and hold out as long as he can, before he’s inevitably ousted? Will he come out swinging in new and desperate ways? The trouble is that Trump’s inner circle, which wasn’t filled with the brightest bulbs to begin with, has largely vanished as his people have resigned, or been fired, or been pushed away, or been arrested. Is there anyone left who can tap Trump on the shoulder, tell him it’s over, and explain to him that his best bet is to try to negotiate leniency in exchange for resignation? We’ll see.

Trump doesn't listen or loose sleep on the ranting of the critics, he simply brushes it off and tweets. Another day in America.

In any case, Donald Trump now has far more to worry about than the court of public opinion. The conviction of Paul Manafort gives Special Counsel Robert Mueller much stronger footing moving forward. And now Trump has to figure out how to deal with the fact that he’s an unindicted co-conspirator in a felony criminal investigation. There’s no talking/tweeting his way out of that.

Why is President Trump so fearful of Michael Avenatti? Hajawahi kumjibu wala ku tweet juu ya huyu jamaa anaemuhenyesha.

Thus far Trump has proven to be Teflon Don. A Houdini [an escape artist].

The rules of political gravity don’t apply to him.

If he came out unscathed in the Access Hollywood tape, who is to say he can’t escape this one as well?

Only time will tell. I stopped making predictions about his demise long time ago.
 
What I see is that there is a lot to be learned by people from those countries he referred to as "rogue countries" or "shitholes" on how they set up their individual countries' constitutional dispensations with regard to disciplining their leaders.
 
And the midterm elections are around the corner.

Wondering if coming up Midterm elections will decide the fate of the President, instead of the coming up General election.
 
Some people never learn. You better leave the man alone, Trump has proven to be much smarter than any one standing on his way.

America is very different from "Some People". It's unheard of the way their check and balance works. Mueller probe would't have been anywhere in our so called Shit hole countries. We are admiring their quest to leave no stone un-turned. While Trump has been spectacular in proving critics wrong. The evidence gathered with Muller and Cohen and Manafort flipping, Conman don-ship ability is on the line.
 
The, Americans have a fancy for the matters that could however be considered trivial by the Europeans.

It's rather childish to bug the president who is doing a flamboyant job for his people merely to win political mileage. It's utter nonsense.
