Now if its proven Trump bankrolled the proposed above kidnapping, and was involved in it, then he will pay the ultimate price. But I highly doubt it.

If Trump is smart he will let these two get indicted without incident. He will make a few tweets, but let it go. Given the economy is as strong as it is, and tax cuts will coast, the Republicans will win rather easily in 2018. Then in 2019 he can pardon both of them. I don't think Trump is going to run for re-election, he'll be too old. But he can write his own narrative in his remaining years afterwards and he will probably have a decent story: Tax Reform, Strong Economy, Finishing off ISIS, etc... He'll be remembered in the same way as Clinton with his ardent supporters.

All these guys think they are going to go down as the next Lincoln, or Roosevelt or Washington. Unless you are part of a catastrophic successful war you are just going to be in the middle of the pack; the economy is soaring and that really is all people give a shit about, at least in the short term. When push comes to shove, voters vote based on what is their bank account, house value, etc..
But Trump said he knows how to find the best people, the best! And yet the turnover has been unreal.
