I think his narcissism won't allow him one iota of humility, even if that gets him what he wants, which is even more money for himself and his rotten family and staying out of prison.

So coming up with some exit that makes him look somewhat better on the economy, but he has to be humbled, before the election is not an option.

That's probably why he is angling so hard to openly cheat and steal the midterms. Even telling his zombies to take a pledge to cheat at the election, just so long as they win.
