Do Right, Be Right. :)
1) Trump serves out his term because the GOP controlled Senate would never touch him.
2) Pence kills Trump, replacing him because, again, the GOP Senate won't convict Trump.
I don't think there is a third choice, unless Pence decides not to be Trump's running mate in 2020 and resigns early, being replaced by Donald Trump Jr. or Ivanka Trump. Trump can only trust his children not to poison him to become the next President. Or can he trust them?
25th Amendment: Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

We all know it's going to be choice number one, assuming it even ever comes to that.

If he doesn't correct the market free fall then all those 1%ers out there will have him on a spit. And too long they put pressure on the Senate members they own and he becomes toxic to the GOP. At which point they gratefully jettison him into the black. At least that's one sunny possibility.

Ecuador: UK gave enough guarantees for Assange to leave embassy
"I do not like the presence of Mr Assange in the Ecuadorean embassy, but we have been respectful of his human rights and with that respect in mind we think that six years is too long for someone to remain nearly incarcerated in an embassy," Moreno said.

-we-are-living-in-chaos-but-remains-an-incorrigible-optimist
We have entered a period of chaos. Putin didn’t invent the chaos. He just sort of helped it along. Like any dictator, he is an opportunist. There is a war in Syria? Excellent. Obama has washed his hands of it? Great: I go in, displace people, they flee to Europe, this creates problems, the right rises.
They had been practicing for this since 2004–05. The Internet structures designed to influence people’s minds were under construction in Russia for ten years before they decided to meddle in the American election. [2004–05 marked the years of the Orange Revolution, in Ukraine, and of a series of protests called the Marches of the Dissenters, organized by the United Civil People’s Front, which was co-founded by Kasparov; both of these developments alerted the Kremlin to the potential of Internet-based organizing.]
I suspect that they made a conscious decision to create not a Chinese-type system of blocking access to information but its opposite: a flood of information. They created a deluge. For example, they create entire troll debates. You think that there is an argument raging on the Internet, when in reality it’s a script.
When a political system is unstable, something like this can play a serious role. It shouldn’t have been hard to imagine that Putin would decide that, since he has been able to influence Holland, England, Germany, and Italy, to say nothing of Moldova, Romania, and Bulgaria, he would try his hand here. But everyone subscribed to the traditional mistaken belief that Putin is a regional player. Considering the resources Putin has, it was obvious that sooner or later he would challenge the world’s strongest country, because that’s his way to demonstrate his own invincibility.
How well thought-out do you think this strategy was here?
At first they were using Trump mostly as an icebreaker. They expected Hillary to win and wanted to discredit her completely. Trump was the perfect vehicle for discrediting not only Hillary but the entire electoral system. Putin’s great advantage is that, unlike Soviet propagandists, he is not selling an ideology. I call him the merchant of doubt. His message is, We are shit, you are shit, and all of this is bullshit. What democracy? Trump was the ideal agent of chaos.
Trump kept saying that the election will be rigged. This was the Kremlin line. I think their main script was that Hillary would win in a close battle and #ElectionIsRigged would be a hashtag that would discredit her. She would be paralyzed. She’d be facing a Republican congress, which would immediately begin impeachment proceedings.
And then they saw that they had a shot at the jackpot. In its last stages, the campaign changed. They started using WikiLeaks when they sensed that they had a chance of getting Trump into office.

Quote:12th Amendment prohibits Electors of the State of New York from casting votes for both President Trump and VP Trump. But Trump could Appoint with Confirmation, and also could Win Election with 1. More than 269 Electoral Votes from other States, or 2. Ending up with the VP from the other Party, or having the Senate Elect the VP.
