Unfortunately the election of Donald Trump brought with it a hope that the suicidal direction the country was in might change. That hope is getting dashed almost daily. It seems that some people were right about the guy. He's a good bullsh*tter that got lucky. Well, thanks for the ride anyway it was a blast!
I'm sure there will still be a few moments of vintage Trumpist tweets and actions that will embolden the heart. But the hope for securing the borders, ending the wars of empire, and depowering the socialistic justice warriors, appears to be smashed on the rocks of deep state entrenchment. It "could" be that Trump is playing some long term 3D chess that has him turning things around on our enemies, but it is much more likely that, if he actually did want it, the swamp is too deep to drain. In all fairness to him he had the whole state apparatus arrayed against him and is still alive and still in office. Cheers to that.
It is also entirely possible that he doesn't get to finish his term. If the D's get the house (I don't think they will-they are still hated) he will get impeached and probably removed. He doesn't have the bulwark of party loyalty behind him. That would give us President Cuck, um Pence. Not the worst guy in the world, but a big downer for Trumps fans to be sure. Even if Trump manages to stumble to the finish line of his term he appears to be de-balled on the issues most important to his base.
What comes next? A hundred years wandering in the wilderness? Who is the next guy we can entrust with our support before being back stabbed? Cruz? He's a smart guy that has probably learned a lot in the last couple of years. Can Ann Coulter run for office? Laura Ingraham?
