But, not yet. Trump may be down, but he's not out. It's going to take a complete collapse of his power before he resigns dramatically.

The mid-term elections might do it. If he could possibly lose both the Senate and the House, he would lose any chance of doing much of anything. The House will be flipped, I'm pretty sure, but the Senate is very iffy. We will see.

If both houses go, though, he'll be helpless and unable to do anything much. That will make him very angry. Eventually, I think he will resign abruptly, calling everyone he can name just about anything he can think of. If J.D.Vance, becomes President, then things will go no better for him and he doesn't have the same loyalty from Republicans Trump has. At that point, it will be downhill all the way for Republicans.

But, none of that is going to happen very soon, I think.
