17. Unlikely as it may seem, I wouldn't be shocked if he did.

If enough Republicans wake up to reality at some point in the coming months, or years, it will be a matter of resigning or being removed. Perhaps he'd believe they would never remove and force the Senate to do it, but I think there is a chance he would take that "face-saving" option of resigning for "health reasons," and leave JD to make the humiliating deal to end the criminal war on Iran.

And who knows? If that unlikely future were to to come to pass, J.D. could be so pissed at him for forcing him humiliate himself and thereby ruin his (non-existent) chances of being the next president, he would release the Epstein files without the Trump redactions.

Sure, not likely. But I suspect things will unfold over the next few years that few people imagine today.
