While Trump's overall approval rating isn't quite in the sewer yet, it's getting close. A few more bombshells and it will get there. Republicans, however, have not budged since he was inaugurated. This is still an overwhelmingly popular President among his base. Among historical popularity of Presidents with their own party, Trump probably has one of the highest. The fact that his approval among Democrats and Independents is near record low for any President is why his overall popularity is tanking. I really think that his approval would have to get down to around 50% with Republicans before the "I" word can be taken seriously, no matter what he does.
What do you think would have to happen to get his approval rating down into the 50-60% range among Republicans?
When he wins again in 2020, and you can't figure out why, I want you to remember to revisit this thread for the answer.
The wildcard is independents. There is a good chance Trump will do much worse among independents in 2020, even if he gets the same Republican turnout. Doing so will swing a few close states and that will be enough to deny him re-election.
Trump would have to do a serious 180 in how he is governing and be cleared of all accusations to regain the independent vote he had in 2016..
Then there will be no need to revisit this thread. I bet he won't even run in 2020.
If he makes it that far, he won't have the ego to step down. That's a big "if he makes it that far." Then the question really becomes what happens when he loses, which barring a 180 turnaround is an absolute certainty. Will Trump and his supporters be as graceful through the peaceful transition of power as Obama was transitioning into Trump?

If when ever that happens. You Democrats will get exactly what you been serving Trump for the last couple months. This won't be over when Trump is long gone.

100 percent of Republicans could love the guy, but they are only 38% of the country. If the rest hate him, it really doesn't matter. He's losing support in general all over the country.
I think if he goes with Bannon as opposed to most of the country and 25 heavy hitter companies (including Exxon and Apple) and pulls out of the Paris agreement, it will hurt him very badly.
Companies are not going to play ball and provide jobs in the US to help Trump out if they think he is destroying the country.
