So far in our history we've seen zero presidents successfully impeached, only one quit and only four assassinated. I gotta go with odds on this one and say he'll do the four years, possibly eight. I'm sure there will be no shortage of calls for his impeachment and likely even an actual attempt or two. I would also wager his twitter activity will end up playing a role in said impeachment attempts.
While I agree that being president is a ton of hard work and Trump most certainly seems to be allergic to any form of hard work, he's as close to being king now as anyone will ever get and his ego would never allow him to consider quitting anything that puts him in the position of being king. So he ain't gonna quit, we ain't gonna fire him and its highly unlikely anyone will off him. Better strap in for a four year ride. And better make it an isle seat because it could easily turn into an eight year ride.
Well technically Bill Clinton was impeached. Most people don't remember that.
Not successfully.

Who knows, but I'm not exactly hoping for it. Pence is a shithead.

they don't remember him being disbarred, that's the one that falls off the radar
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I agree. Trump is disagreeable in so many ways, but he's no idiot. I have said elsewhere that I think Pence is his insurance policy against impeachment.
I have issues with the bolded part. I think he thinks he's smarter than he actually is.I think he may be a good manipulator of people more stupid than him, but that's where his skill set ends.

He will resign or be impeached and have to resign, he is shaping up to be bigger than Nixon.
