I suppose it will largely depend on how he does his first couple years, but if he is a disaster, I think the Republicans will mount a primary challenge in 2020.
What do you think, and who do you think would mount the challenge? Ted Cruz? Rand Paul?
I think if he too much of a disaster, we will learn to say President Pence, and he would win re-election if he is truly a Conservative.

Trump will most likely be embroiled in constant ethics issues. The Media will hound him at every turn on ethics.
There's also the specter of constant civil litigation against Trump's companies, which will take its toll.
The GOP Establishment is hostile to Trump and not likely to be supportive.
Ryan's plans for Social Security and Medicare are not socially popular, and such tinkering will cost the Republicans in the Mid-Term Elections.
None of Trump's policies will significantly boost the economy, so it's steady-as-she-sluggishly-goes.
I suspect 4 years will be more than Trump can handle, and he'll simply choose not to run for re-election, citing age or health reasons.

Yes on all.
I would add that the wolves in Trump's cabinet ready to devour the foundations of Democracy will step in, taking over and creating a landslide victory for anyone in their midst pushed to the front as a candidate.
Trump has been making some Conservative cabinet appointments, so I doubt there will be a huge resistance from the Right to primary Trump in 2020 (assuming that the economy does well during Trump's presidency).
Trump will do just fine and be asked to run again in 2020 when he may or may not choose to run again. I think if he gets the "ball" rolling in the right direction that he may hand the nomination over to Pence who will slam dunk the Democratic nominee off the map!
Only to the most die-hard partisan hacks is the American media 'now irrelevant'.
The will be more relevant than ever with diligent investigation and reporting.
They are still relevant, but much less so. Twitter allowed (and still allows) Trump to bypass the biased media and communication right to the people.
Now, if Twitter somehow doesn't make it another 4 years (they are losing a ton of money), Trump could legitimately have a problem.
