TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY IS NEARING AN END

     I wrote the commentary below as a short posting for Facebook on Friday, December 1st, 2017 after former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty in federal court that he lied to the FBI about his communications with Russian officials.  The retired United States Army Lieutenant General is now a convicted felon...and he says he will fully cooperate with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation in to Russia's meddling of the 2016 presidential election. Flynn is the first senior member of Donald Trump's White House to be charged in this probe.  I, therefore, want to share my comments from Facebook so that readers of The Controversy can also focus on my thoughts, as well as those - both positive and negative - from some of my Facebook readers.  Since their names were posted on Facebook, they will be identified in the same manner here.
The end to Donald Trump's presidency is coming. And it's coming sooner rather than later.
If you are a regular reader of The Controversy, you are then aware that I wrote - as early as February 15th, 2017 - that Michael Flynn will be the key to Trump's demise. In that February 15th, 2017 column titled - Is Trump Today's Nixon? Let's Hope Not. - I wrote..."There is a dark cloud hovering over Donald Trump...that is causing The White House to be blackened in controversy and scandal. With Democrats in both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives calling for a probe in to ties between General Flynn and Russia...and possible ties between Trump and Putin...are Trump and some Republicans on Capitol Hill worried that if Flynn is subpoenaed to testify under oath before Congress...what beans will be spilled? Has Flynn's friendship with Trump been disintegrated...and, if so...will Flynn throw Trump under the bus? And should he do so...will we learn through irrefutable evidence...through positive proof...that Trump is an illegitimate President who must be evicted from The White House?"
On April 1st, 2017 - in my column titled, Trump May Topple Like A House Of Cards - I wrote..." Retired United States Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn knows where all the bodies are buried...(figuratively speaking... metaphorically speaking). White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer - on Friday, March 31st, 2017 - claimed that Donald Trump is "not concerned" that Flynn may have damaging testimony against Trump. But if you believe Trump is not scared out of his begeebies...then you also have to believe that pigs can fly." I went on to write..."The amount of 'sketchy stuff' that is going on with Donald Trump is bordering beyond suspicious. And Michael Flynn has nothing to lose by painting a target on the forehead of his old boss. Flynn is willing to trade Trump's life to save his own skin."
The bottom line here...Donald Trump should be preparing his resignation speech. Because that day is coming. And it's what I suggested in my column, titled - Donald Trump Needs To Resign - on March 4th, 2017, a mere 6 weeks in to his presidency. But now...the end is near...and although he would never admit it...I think Donald Trump himself...knows it.
And that's The Controversy for today.
I'm Gary B. Duglin.

Debbie Shockley George It is great that his demise could come but then what? His cronies are in place starting with Pence. I fear this was the plan all along.

Wayne Duglin We all know he lied; he was fired by the President for lying to the Vice-President. We all know he lied to the FBI. If the President wasn’t involved with any “collusion”, which as of now there has been NO EVIDENCE shown that he was, why should he be concerned? You used the term “will we learn through irrefutable evidence...through positive proof...that Trump is an illegitimate President”. What proof does anyone have that General Flynn’s actions changed a single vote, President Trump won the White House under the laws setup in our Constitution (which I have said many time the left is not fond of), he beat the corrupt Clinton machine (truly the one who should be indicted). Show me some proof that the President was involved with anything illegal that reaches the standard of “Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors” setup in the Constitution and I would agree he should resign, until then let him do his job, fix healthcare, reform our tax code, fix the illegal immigration problem (build that wall), stop ISIS, the list goes on and on. Sit down with him and work together, not like this week with Schumer and Pelosi acting like 4 year olds, get over 2016 and for once do what’s right for the Country!

Gary B. Duglin Jim, do you and Wayne really believe your words? Because if you truly do - and I mean this with all sincerity - then you're both going to be in total shock when you see Donald Trump board Air Force One for the last time. The day is coming when Trump will be moving back in to Trump Tower; never to see the inside of The White House again. That is...if President Mike Pence pardons him. If not...Trump's new home will be one where we'll find him behind bars.

Wayne Duglin Show me the proof of any wrong doing by the President, you can't! Nobody has shown any proof yet, you just can't handle the truth!

Gary B. Duglin One more point regarding my comment above regarding Mike Pence. That would be applicable only if Pence himself was not involved with Trump and any illegal activity. If Bob Mueller finds that Pence too was in cahoots with Trump then both Trump and Pence will be shown the door and we'd be looking at President Paul Ryan. That too could happen.

Gary B. Duglin It is so obvious that Trumpers are in denial. Anyone who thinks Bob Mueller doesn't have "proof" then you're going to be in shock when all is revealed.

Debbie Shockley George Very scarey to think their could be a President Pence or President Ryan. It's all been the plot all along, the Republicans can't stand Trump. As far as letting Trump do his job, he can't, he has not a clue how to make those things come to fruition.

Gary B. Duglin Constitutionally, Debbie, I doubt that would ever happen, but we could end up with Paul Ryan as president.

Gary B. Duglin Karen, everyday it's looking more and more like we're going to be able to stick a fork in to Donald Trump - sooner rather than later - as he's going to be done, done, done.

Gary B. Duglin We have two Debbie's in this conversation. I'm wondering if that is confusing. From now on I will address Debbie Shockley George as Debbie and Deborah Harvey as Deborah. Therefore, in addition, to further reply to Deborah's comment above, my brother Wayne is the conservative Republican in the family while I am the ultra-liberal progressive Democrat. I hope that clears up any confusions.
