Speculations will now run wild, but a possible outcome is Trump's resignation, so that JD Vance can pardon him as it has been done with Nixon. This is the "carrot" from the GOP for Trump to go quietly. Yet, it might be an uphill battle for the Republican party, nonetheless, but it has better chances of succeeding than keeping the current course.
Interesting times are ahead.

@Tendar@newsie.social i just don't see it happening. Trump is purely driven by his ego, which won't let him take any perceived loss. He might do it in 6 months or so for "medical reasons" with some bullshit sacrifice speech, but not until way after the election. Also, I don't know if he would be willing to trust Vance to follow through on any pardon. Didn't work for Ford, and Vance is too much of a snake to let anything like loyalty get in the way of his ambitions.
