Interesting angle. But resigning would require a sense of humility.

Besides, and regardless of the evidence, the impeachment inquiry thus far has been entirely partisan. Dude’s got a chance Senate republicans continue to march in step and play dumdum for him throughout a trial.

His regular fear of being poisoned got the best of him for some reason and he had to rush to Walter Reed?

I'll believe this when I see it:

In his roles as characters like Borat and Bruno, actor Sacha Baron Cohen is famed for tricking real people into making outlandishly bigoted comments on camera, turning their prejudice into the butt of his jokes.
