Unfortunately, my most-likely is a disaster in which the gentlemanly thing to do is to step aside so that more competent people can save the day but Trump isn't a gentleman and he doesn't have a deep bench of "more competent people."

I think the opportunities for face-saving are long gone. The question is how much Trump believes he can pull it off vs. the permanent mark on history he leaves the longer he lingers. My costs-benefits analysis on that one has Trump leaving way the fuck before he does because he's a narcissist but he's running the same equation.
