You don't honestly think this is going to happen, do you? I mean, do you plan on taking a bet out and putting your money where your mouth is on this?
Personally, I think it's a bad bet.
I guess we don't know, like you said. If you have proof, I'll gladly denounce it as a conflict of interest.
Interesting, I'd say. If we're going to speculate, that certainly looks like Trump made a deal with China. The Taiwan chatter early on was probably more posturing Trump knew was necessary to get China to come to the table.
Right. And since Trump refuses to commit to personal transparency, he's in the clear by your reckoning.

As I wrote earlier in this thread, I think there is a more that 50% chance of it occurring within the next 4 years. Impeachment or implosion, that is. I didn't say it was very likely. Just more likely than not. Therefore, not quite enough asymmetry for me to bet on.
Thank you for clarifying. Even if you believe it's more likely than not, you might want to consider putting a bet on if the odds are in your favor.
And so can you to the contrary...

No, I don't think it's a wise bet.
While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75 year old farmer, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Donald Trump and his role as the new President of the United States.
The old farmer said, “Well as I see it, Donald Trump is like a ‘Post Tortoise’.
Not being familiar with the term, the Doctor asked him what a ‘post tortoise’ was.
The old farmer said, “When you are driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that’s a ‘post tortoise’.
The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the Doctor’s face and continued to explain:
“You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he’s up there, he’s been elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with.”
