spyinthesky Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago We have to expect that Trump and his band of cult members will detach from NATO at some stage within his remaining years and the threat of Russia invading another of the countries in their purported sphere of influence will increase. Hopefully the Ukrainians will do their utmost to keep Putin occupied. The country getting the most benefit from Trump is probably China. Meantime the cost of jet fuel will rise and adversely affect foreign travel plans. Hopefully this will mean that far fewer people will be attracted to the USA for the forthcoming World Cup. I truly hope so.

The midterms are also coming up in November, at which point he looks set to lose control of the house and will be a lame duck president. I don’t think that Trump is too bothered about getting the approval of Congress. He has ridden roughshod over them on many occasions so far. If he wants something he has enough useful idiots in positions of power to deliver for him. I wouldn’t rule anything out. As for Vance, he may be even more problematic than Trump. We can only hope that the Democrats get their act together and put the brakes on these lunatics.

Even the Supreme Court would not back him against Congress. The Law on elections is cast in stone, that is why so much effort is being put into gerrymandering, by both sides, and why Congress, with it's current balance of power, has proven unable pass the SAVE Act - he simply cannot command the majority needed to pass the Bill.
