That would be all based on the Democrats winning mid-terms. What if that doesn't happen?
We know the polls are useless, and we know the media is doing an incredibly poor job of representing the Dems, so bad that it makes Trump (a man known for being a bully, which I like by the way) look like a victim 24/7.

If anything, I'm kinda glad he won. He woke people up to politics and finally got people to realize what's happening in the government, instead of the Obama years where our rights were slowly being taken away (NSA spying on us, etc) while we were all focused on dumb stuff like Kim Kardashian.

When are those tax cuts coming through for folks like me in the middle class?

Standing up to world leaders? Kim just did a missile test the other day. Wow, Kim seems really scared of Trump and that "armada" that he sent over that way, but somehow got lost in ended up in another part of the Pacific. Assad also seems to not care, why would they? They have Russia backing them up, and Russia is friends with Trump, so not sure how just dropping one bomb, is standing up to Assad. If he were standing up to Assad he wouldn't be cozying up to Russia then.

He also has managed to offend leaders from the UK, Australia, Germany, etc. So not sure where you are geting your info from. Perhaps fake news?
When did he offend May or Merkel?

Actually much better off with Trump then with Pence. Pence would be much better at maneuvering through the quicksand. Trump swims in it.

The only way Trump gets impeached is if the Republicans turn on him which I cannot imagine or he does something really big and dumb. Very unlikely.

Even if part of the Republicans turn on Trump the Democrats will defend him.

You like bullies? Do you have kids? Would you like it if your kids were bullied? You know people kill themselves (sometimes others) over being bullied....

And also in regards to the media, most of it Trump does to himself. He does nothing but insult the media day in and day out, and he expects them to side with him. The negative attention he gets from the media is all his doing. Trump isn't a victim. Just a moron.

Pence would take us back to the 50s.

President Trump has smartly been very kind and open-minded with his fellow Republicans, especially Paul Ryan (a man who was seriously anti-Trump throughout the entire election campaign).

I think Ryan does hate it but it doesn't stop him from doing it. In fact, the way the GOP has defended Trump the past three months tells more about the GOP than anything we have ever seen. That they wear flag pins while doing it is doubly sad.

I think Paul Ryan is very grateful that President Trump was so warm to him after Ryan's initial healthcare bill didn't make it to the voting stage.
