Isn't the main consideration going to be the result of the midterm Congressional elections?

If the Republican Party loses its majority in either of the houses of Congress then Trump's ability to act will be compromised. If both houses change hands he may find himself politically impotent.

His impotency doesn't really matter to him, his impeachment does. Even if the midterms go against the Republicans, impeaching him in the time will be difficult.

How long do you think it takes to impeach somebody? From the start of Clinton's impeachment to his acquittal took less than three months.

Yeah, you're right. I had in my head the idea that the investigation took longer and some of it did but that equivalent is already done. So let's see the midterms.

None of the issues having any real impact on his core support. I have to admit that reading these comments reminded me of Corbyn supporters on Twitter.

Also while the economy is doing well, even if it's not clear that has anything to with Trump, then as the phrase went 'It's the economy, stupid!'

I see Trump has had to call off the trip by one of his poodles to N Korea because things are starting to fall apart. Surprise, Surprise. Trump boasted far too soon about his success, STUPID CLOWN!  ::)

He's right if by "everybody will be very poor" he is referring to himself and his associates and by "very poor" he means "not as obscenely rich as we are now".

Here's another good story which might need to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Trump was on a photo-op with some school children and he joined in with the task of colouring in the Stars and Stripes. The only problem is he got it wrong:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-us-flag-wrong-colour-blue-stripe-a8508556.html

Of course, the girl in front is colouring her stripes in yellow, so maybe the task was an art task to provide an alternative colouring.

Trump must be concerned about the outcome of the mid term elections, hopefully the Republicans will lose out.

What major difference do you think what number of Democrat wins will make?

Wouldn't it affect the crazier legislation Trump might try to impose on his country?

Would it? In what way? What legislation? And what change in the election numbers are you proposing?

I am making an assumption, as he seems worried about the Democrats doing well. I am not that au fait with the American political arena.

He's worried about impeachment, not legislation.

I hope they manage to impeach him, or force him to resign. There seems to be enough skeletons in that guy's cupboard to sink a ship.

Yes, but will that actually do any good since it introduces President Pence?

Pence is ghastly, I agree, but I don't think he has the support 'Trump' has, so with luck the Democrats might win the next election.
