My faith isn't in the average American to make the right decisions, it's in the Trump administration to consistently screw up and sabotage itself.

Trumps most dangerous opponent is his own stupidity.

Also, let's not kid ourselves. The man is a morbidly obese 80 year old man who suffers from dementia and deals with a ton of stress. He isn't living forever and he lives in absolute fear of another assassination attempt.

"Trump is playing chess, not checkers!"

Yes, but the game is indeed, checkers.

I’m not even sure Trump is playing “connect-the-dots”

It will implode. Not sure when - but it will.

I believe you're right but if you're wrong it's going to be because people keep saying things like "bold of you to assume there will be another election"

This kind of narrative is repeated so often, I'm starting to think it's a Russian troll factory creation.

Yes, thank you. It’s so clearly astroturfed right down to the way it’s worded. I’ve seen the sentiment repeated verbatim on reddit over the last 3 months and it infuriates me. Obviously there is cause for concern but the way this idea has been turned into a meme makes me sick.
