Like a cornered, insane rat, Trump now backing up, fangs bared, and doing anything to defend himself. It seems to me that he's trying all his "greatest hits" to lash at every target to see what his base will accept, and then seize on it, doubling (and even tripling) down to enforce how right he is... no one in the history of trials has ever been more right and more innocent. He's yugely innocent.
If he had no shred of dignity, but at least a sense of self-preservation, he could that doctor of his to start indicating a debilitating illness of some nature, and use the 25th amendment to get out without quite losing. "I was so successful and so popular until Orifice fever forced me to admit that even I endured it longer than anyone, a really healthy guy, But for my own good, I had to resign. And I had done so much anyways that I'll always be remembered as America's greatest and most beloved president, most successful, more than any president in the world."
But I don't feel he can quit at all, in any way, shape, or form. So he is pressing and attacking anyone and everyone to find a helpful hand, a kind word, a Russian hooker (oops!), or SOME bit of information he can get to salvage himself.
He won't find it, I believe. In the end, his political life is out of his hands in and in those of the Senate. I'm sure that, as a last resort, he's relying on the Republican controlled and Moscow Mitch McDonnell terrorized Senate to save him.
I wonder. As he sinks deeper and deeper in the quicksand, other Republicans, who DO have a sense of self-preservation, may be avoiding and ignoring him more and more. People that 45 thinks are friends and allies are nothing more than co-workers... who want to get out of the kill zone before it's too late for THEM.
Oh, it'll be interesting, and a fabulous lesson in civics and politics. But it won't be fun, and I doubt that it will be very satisfying.
Still, when Trump is out of office, then as we Jews say, dayenu - it will have been enough!
