I agree he will probably out by the beginning of summer, I think it may be from his refusal to follow the Constitution. But that's just me.

... will be that his ego can't handle the ridicule.

We've seen him go ballistic over Baldwin and Streep. He ain't seen nuthin' yet.

Imagine what it will be like when he is the butt of every late-night show monologue, every political cartoonist, every stand-up comic - here and around the world. Add in the non-stop criticism from political analysts, pundits, journalists, etc.

The barbs will be brutal, scathing, and 24/7 without respite. His little fingers will be worn down to nubs trying to "tweet' his responses to the non-stop hailstorm of ridicule coming his way - all day, every day.

The man is in for a well-deserved world of hurt - and his ego can't withstand the onslaught. He'll fold like a cheap card table when he realizes that resigning is the only way to make it stop.

Mocking Trump needs to become everyone's goal all day all week long.
