Another One. Trump will announce soon, that he is not running for re-election. He may resign soon [View all]

Why?...If Trump does not run, then, he gets out without having to defend himself over and over.with "Oh, we did a great job in fighting the virus." .. That is such a lie, that it could destroy Trump's chances of making money and appearing on talk shows...

....Defending his behavior and what he has said, will make him look even stupider than he now looks. (Hard to believe?) ..But, I believe Trump will avoid all of that, and become a very quiet person ...like Nixon was after his resignation...That is even harder to believe. But it will save some of his reputation..(some, among those that still respect him).

...Note: we are not talking about a break in and a cover up. We are talking about tens of thousands of deaths due to failure to adequately warn about something.,,which is the President's job. By not running or resigning, Trump almost allows for some criticism of his tenure, which in some areas might...(I said might)... save the Republican Party's existence) As this is written in Creative Speculation, I believe that some advisors & party professionals are now trying to get him to announce that he will not run for re-election in order the name of the Republican Party.
....Trump cannot win. His behavior is not defensible.

...Will this happen? Unlikely...but that is why they named it, "Creative Speculation"
