Donald Trump is targeted in the White House on Wednesday after a series of sensational resignations and the deadly riot at the American Capitol that he openly ignited, and with less than two weeks left in his term of office, Donald Trump has so far been unpleasant because he may soon becomes the first U.S. president to be twice accused by the House of Representatives. Instead, he is determined to stay in the office and make himself look good – the body counts aside. According to a source with direct knowledge of the matter, the president at one point in the White House on Friday shouted the words, “I will not resign”, before launching a tirade on how Democratic lawmakers will regret be. they press to accuse him a second time, and that they hurt ‘the country’ by doing so.

Two other people familiar with the situation said Trump made other similar remarks this week or gave no indication that he was worried about leaving early or leaving. According to the two sources, Trump predicted that this was a senseless attempt for him, as the soon-to-be Democratic-controlled Senate, which is currently in GOP hands, would never convict him in another indictment, and asked advisers if they agreed with him.

In addition to the growing calls for the resignation or call for the 25th Amendment to remove him from office, Trump now faces possible investigations into incitement to riot for his comments to supporters ahead of Wednesday’s storm on the Capitol.

Since Friday, the president has also been on Twitter for fear of banning his @realDonaldTrump account and demanding to know if there are remedies for the permanent suspension, say those close to Trump.

According to two sources with knowledge of the matter, the president and several close advisers are now discussing the possibility that Trump will sit for several media interviews in the coming days, in an attempt to boast of his tenure, including one possible interview. that it will focus on the Middle East deals he and his son-in-law, White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, helped strike.

However, several current and former Trump officials who do not think he should resign feel that he should just get out of the picture now before the inauguration of President Joe Biden.

Asked if the president should resign, Barry Bennett, who served as a senior Trump adviser during the 2016 campaign, said on Saturday: ‘No. But go to Florida and stay. This is not a time to increase the boiling rage across the country. Clever leaders will understand that anger on both sides is the real threat to our country. Not Trump. Escalation is no different than what he did. We can not afford to drive further down … If it is not too late. ‘
