Re <<We'll see if Trump simply acquiesces to this coup and let's Pence be the acting-President, or maybe Trump will try to find some way to maintain control over the decisions he makes.>>
- given trump's character that is easy to discern, and unless he saw God recently and really wish to 'do something' for a change, am guessing he just wants to get on w/ the 'job' of being potus, that be the motorcades, air force uno, visiting exotic places, playing commander in chief, being chief decider, and attend to parties. For what trump likes to do, he is very good at it, and was born into it.
Re <<One of the problems is Trump can be easily blackmailed over a number of issues and guys like Pence are not unafraid to do so.>>
- here i must disagree. trump is difficult to blackmail, because he doesn't give a cr@p, for he has the mandate to break things should he wish to exercise such.
- he can now say, to anyone under his command, and that be a lot of people, more than he ever until recently dreamt, "you are fired"
- he can also make life very difficult for those who gives a hoot
- and besides, he does not need to be blackmailed. he will take the easy way out, unless he cares to lose hair, grow haggard, and have difficulty falling asleep.
- i believe it is a mistake to think trump wanted to be the potus because he wants to work
- he just wants to sleep in the white house and have a bit of fun |
