Yes.
And his approval ratings have never been higher. And the GOP looks the other way. And the Democrats are helpless and worthless to stop him.
I predict Trump gets reelected in 2020. I’m calling it now.
I think what it all comes down to is: In 2020, will Trump's actions now have hurt the economy? Because if the economy takes a hard nose down at some point in 2019 and stays down, then Trump will probably not get re-elected. The move that broke the Democratic coalition last election was working glass citizens of Michigan and Wisconsin who thought that Clinton was blind to the economic implications that her policies had for their states.
So, if Trump loses his trade war, and workforce participation keeps sliding, he'll have an uphill battle to keep the Great Lakes region red. If this is the case, he might actually do better if the Democrats win this fall than lose.
Maybe. Frankly, in the era of fake news, I've sort of lost hope that white working class people who would be most affected by a hard nosedive in the economy would ever connect the dots back to him. To clarify my statement: I think it's likely Trump will win in 2020 because a failure of the Democratic party and its leadership. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are all but campaigning for him at this point. Remember, Hitler did not get elected in 1939. He got elected in 1933. His monstrosity developed over time, and people were conditioned over the years to accept the incremental changes that kept coming. We are a bit over one year in to Trump's first term. Look how much has changed. And the leading Democrats are arguing
politeness should be the response.
Civility, to someone like Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who boldly, blatantly lies to the American people on behalf of this administration every. Single. Day. So, I guess we are to take from this that the Democratic Party thinks being civil is the most important thing here. And a fair number of very nice, left-leaning people agree with them.
Politeness. Because God forbid Sarah Huckabee Sanders should have her meal disturbed.
Also, let’s not ignore that the dishonest right is also criticizing the left for not being “civil” to atrocious humans like Sanders. So, once again, the GOP has taken control of the message, using the “civility” language that Democrats so fetishize against us. And Schumer/Pelosi are braying right along with them. Tossing Maxine Waters very "politely" under the bus in the process for telling people to fight back against the ugliness and atrocity of this administration.
And let’s not even talk about the complicity of the mainstream media.
Politeness will get us a second Trump term.
