Not sure if Trump is going to leave early or not, but I don't think that he's got much of a shot at being reelected if he keeps going like he has been.
Still waiting for those campaign promises........................
------------------------------------------------------ i think that TRUMP is working for his people [like ME] and i don't think that YOU are one of his people BSailor !!
If he's only working for "his" people, he has zero chance of being reelected.
This latest stunt with Obamacare will be the end of him. It will cut millions off their health insurance. Added to the damage and job losses due to the hurricanes and his economic numbers are sliding badly.
With hurricanes, the initial damage is what people see but it's the rebuild that determines the recovery.
Trump's abandonment of Puerto Rico being a case in point. He blames the Puerto Rico Government for the bankruptcy of his golf course and resort property there because nothing bad is ever Trump's fault.
The Puerto Rican government is owed $33 million for building infrastructure for that resort. Of course since Trump was bankrupt that $33 million which they paid out for materials and labour, was never recovered. Trump claims the island infrastructure was in bad shape before the hurricane which is probably true but the government economy would've been a lot better off had Trump paid the $33 million he owes them.
Now as president he gets to stick it to the island government that he blames for his bankruptcy. They can't vote for or against him so no risk there.
People aren't as stupid as Republicans give them credit for. A lot of Democrats stayed home last time and didn't vote. That won't happen a second time. Just as the Tea Party gained ground after the 2008 election, Democrats are organizing a get out and vote campaign for 2018, to take back the Senate, and using the Supreme Court decision on gerrymandering, congressional districts all over the US will be redrawn before 2020.
Moderates everywhere are disgusted with the politics of white supremacy. Republicans and Democrats alike. Trump is hemorrhaging voters with his policies.
