Regardless of anything else in that screed, what evidence is there to think that a) Trump puts country first rather than himself b) is a big believer in plans, either front or back pocket?

One has to wonder if there are days when President Trump wakes up and thinks, “Do I really need all this?” It has become clear that he will spend the next three-and-a-half (or seven-and-a-half) years dealing with a virulent Left, a squeamish Right, and a daily media pummeling of him and his family.
I don’t know Mr. Trump, but it’s clear he’s not one to shrink from a fight. However, what if there were a way to withdraw, but still declare victory and get the last laugh by really sticking it to his critics?
The plan — or as I like to call it, The Plan — would go like this: The President gives a prime-time speech from the Oval Office which he concludes by announcing that governing effectively in an atmosphere of “resistance,” “never Trump,” and “he’s not my President” has become virtually impossible, and that his critics have placed partisan politics well ahead of the national good. Therefore, he is resigning in order to allow Vice President Pence to take his place and govern without the poisonous personal animus that has corroded the atmosphere in Washington.
He would then be free to spend the rest of his life as an ex-President basking in the glow of someone who succeeded against all odds, put his country first and, not incidentally, stuck it to the Left by elevating his very conservative VP to the top post.
His opponents would no doubt scream and holler. They would have to look on hopelessly as the new Commander in Chief named a like-minded politician to serve with him in a truly Conservative government that would presumably rally Republicans.
The “resisters” would not be mollified, of course. They would continue to pursue Trump and attempt to similarly tar Pence, but they would likely look even more petty and peevish in the process.
I’m not suggesting that President Trump adopt The Plan, nor do I think he would, but there’s nothing wrong with having a plan in your back pocket, is there?
Will Trump buy a vowel?
Um, none. That's part of the joke. (sigh)
You guys will be fun to live with when it gets worse than this. We're still working our way through the salad course.
How would an actual singularity differ from what we've been watching? To start with, Trump is the freaking POTUS. The singularity happens very slowly, and then all at once. Kind of like what happened to Bret Weinstein at Evergreen.
Offer you what you've been looking for (no Trump) and everybody gets really touchy. I guess there's no room for any diversity on this forum.
Not the first time, and won't be the last, a joke has sailed straight over my head!Um, none. That's part of the joke. (sigh)

Lordy!
Lordy!
I'm sure that's exactly what his lawyer advised him to do. (shakes head)

Can you imagine him under oath being questioned ? It'd be absolutely incredible.
Does he understand he is accusing a under oath career FBI agent and lawyer of perjury??
