Trump Wants to Resign From the Presidency

No, that is not a clickbait title. Trump is once more floating a trial balloon to gauge Americans’ reactions to his latest crazy idea.
Trump recently hosted the Kennedy Center Honors. He thinks it went so well, that he should resign the presidency to become a full-time award show emcee. He is asking everyone to watch the broadcast and let him know if he should make this a full-time gig.
Please, please, please email him to let him know that he was such a wonderful emcee that he should resign the presidency and emcee full-time. You don’t even have to watch the broadcast. Let’s just flood the White House with emails encouraging him to vacate the Oval Office.
The pundits all think that he is joking. Because it sounds like a joke, right? Who would give up the presidency to emcee award shows?
But we need to bear in mind two things: Trump has a habit about joking about something that he is actually serious about, and at this point his thinking is so disordered thanks to his dementia, that he actually thinks that this is a good idea.
