After he tried to betray Maggie and Sasha to the Saviors, why the hell didn't they get rid of Gregory then? Instead they let him go on pretending to be the leader while Maggie, along with Jesus, have for all practical purposes wrested control away from him. Did anyone notice how people were looking at him while their Dr. Carson was being taken away? The kind of look you'd get from a bunch of gang members in a dark alley late at night. He definitely caught the vibe because he was glancing around nervously. All this has done is increase his consumption of booze and fuel his anger at Maggie. This is all your fault!
The preview of next week shows him getting ready to stab her in the back, literally. They can't let Gregory live. If he escapes the Hilltop, he's going straight to Simon and spilling the beans about the alliance and Rick's plans. Hopefully Maggie will solve the problem personally when he makes his cowardly move on her.

No, I doubt Negan will burn both communitities down. He's not like Alpha and the Whisperers. Negan would just killed a few more people from those communities thereby making finding people to scavenge more difficult.

Someone posted a link to one of the Walking Dead comics, in which Negan learns that Rick is putting together an alliance against him - and then launches a grenade attack against Alexandria burning at least a sizable portion of it. Rick Grimes and his people have proven they can't be trusted or controlled and are determined to destroy him no matter what it takes. They've been pretending to yield while plotting a war behind his back. It's possible Negan would only kill a small group of people at the Hilltop, but he'd go for the jugular with Alexandria.

Well yeah. But that was after Rick and the other communities started all out war with the Saviors. In fact that's the title of that story arch: All Out War. Before then is leadinf up to it with March To War.
Rick and them launched first WARNING attack. Negan tries to regain control by cohersing Gregory to get the Hilltop under control and not support Alexandria. But that doesn't work. Negan loses control of the situation. War begins, then Negan rallies the Saviors together and counter attack- the grenade launcher and weapons smeared in the infected's blood.
We aren't at that point yet in the show. The plots in the show build/lead up to that moment as well as what happens with the Gregory and Maggie power struggle.
So first Negan is going to kill a few more people. That just makes it worse off for him though. But Negan would never completely go unhinged and burn down communities that he thinks he still has some sort of control over and can reason with them. But once his opponents start a war with him, he won't punk out. He'll hit as hard as possible. War is war. Right now, Negan doesn't know war is coming and if he did, he would still try to regain control. Which is what he does in the comic after the first assault Rick coordinates against the Sanctuary.
