Is Trump Resigning?

[ClydeR]

Based on Pence's abrupt change in schedule, that's the question a lot of people are asking. If Pence promises to pardon Trump and Trump's family, then the theory is that Trump will resign.

Vice President Pence will end his visit to South America early and fly home on Thursday, after President Trump sparked enormous controversy for his comments following deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va.

Pence's announcement came just as Trump was announcing the disbanding of two his economic councils amid an exodus of CEOs from the advisory boards after Trump's remarks. The violence in Charlotte left one counterprotester dead and at least 19 injured when a vehicle drove through a crowd.

Pence's office said the vice president was returning to Washington on Thursday night instead of Friday morning to attend the president's meeting at Camp David. Those meetings are expected to focus on North Korea.

Pence deputy chief of staff Jarrod Agen also said the vice president's other weekend plans had been canceled in case the president needed any follow up.

Pence will cut short his time with South American leaders including President of Chile Michelle Bachelet, who he joined for a joint press conference Wednesday discussing the political unrest in Venezuela.

George W pardoned someone that was close to him? Can't remember what the crime was.

Clinton pardoned his brother for drug charges, but he'd already served his sentence. That might be who you're thinking of.

Both GWB and BC had highly questionable pardons.

He's no closer to resigning. This event hasn't moved the needle in public opinion of the President the way the first repeal CBO score and firing Comey did. What is has moved the needle on is his relationship to the rest of the government, and that's where the Vice President can help him. At times like these Congress needs a grown up in the executive branch to talk to.

A large portion of Congress aren't grownups themselves so who cares who they want to talk too? Oh, right, you and all the other dingbats out there that want to hate the guy because he doesn't act the way you want.
