Mike Johnson is getting pressure from his side of the aisle to open up government. He knows that the minute he does this, the new Dem rep will be sworn in, followed by the Epstein files will be voted on and released; and all this means that the remainder of Trump's term will be loaded with angry public opinion.
And then there's Trump going in for a medical check-up tomorrow.
So, wouldn't it be the perfect time for him to release a medical report that would give him a way to wiggle out of the next three years?
Of course, my hope is that he steps down. Whatever he decides, things are about to get interesting.

(12,222 posts)President anymore but has to be to protect his ass. I think its not going as well in reality as it went in his head before he got elected.
Thought is was going to be a cakewalk, getting everything he wished for
it got screwed up because of incompetence, now hes stuck. He knows hes failing
in health and renown.
You last 2 sentences could be spot on.

(51,090 posts)Too many of us believed in the Constitution as it was meant to be followed, so dismantling the work that an idea has nurtured is proving impossible for him to do. His poll numbers continue to drop. And the sign that he is losing ground is shown by how vitriolic his Administration has become. Kegsbreath, Bondi, Miller, Noem, Kash Patel. They are coming across like maniac loonies.
And then there's the impossible hurtle of the Epstein files.
Trump knows he has run out of time.
