That’s what separates him from Nixon. I don’t think Nixon resigned out of shame but rather genuine recognition that him being removed from office would be awful for the country so he resigned. A writing is on the wall sort of situation. Trump? Trump still thinks he’s popular when he in fact never was.

Or, alternately, resigning let him options for the remainder of his life. Official impeachment is not a good look. Resignation allowed him dignity (not deserved, IMHO, but there ya go).
