Good news: In two years, we’ll have a new president. Bad news: If we make it that long.

My “good” prediction is based on the Law of the Pendulum. Enough Americans, including most independent voters, will be so ready to shed Donald Trump and his little shop of horrors that the 2018 midterm elections are all but certain to be a landslide — no, make that a mudslide — sweep of the House and Senate. If Republicans took both houses in a groundswell of the people’s rejection of Obamacare, Democrats will take them back in a tsunami of protest.

Once ensconced, it would take a Democratic majority approximately 30 seconds to begin impeachment proceedings selecting from an accumulating pile of lies, overreach and just plain sloppiness. That is, assuming Trump hasn’t already been shown the exit.

David Fuller's view

This has to be a real possibility. In the eyes of most democrats, Trump is the mad king: volatile, vainglorious and untrustworthy.  More than a handful of republicans agree, although most of them remain quieter.

The irony is that Trump has appointed the best business team that I have ever seen. Don’t take my word for it – look at Wall Street which has risen strongly since 8^th November.  This is logical because the money men correctly anticipate lower corporate profits, less regulation, fiscal spending and stronger economic growth. This is Trump’s rally.  Moreover, it has encouraged similar policies in a number of other countries where stock markets and GDP forecasts are also rising.  However, if Trump harangues Cabinet colleagues in the manner of his former game show, The Apprentice, he will continue to lose crucial support.  Moreover, sharp-edged Art of the Deal tactics with international leaders will lead to further isolation.

Trump has a window of opportunity in which to save himself by becoming a president who is both widely respected and popular.  However, that would be a pleasant surprise because it does not appear to be in his nature.
