Where are we headed?

We have a president who thinks "he alone can fix all the world problems"! Well, he alone has destroyed our relationship with the very allies we need to protect world peace. He has sided with those leaders who are dictators and weakly give them what they want. He refuses to see the truth and blames others for the problems that he has made. He thinks he is a king and no laws pertain to him. He has a cabinet that many people have left or been fired in two 2 years, more than 5 presidents put together. He has destroyed our faith in our government where the GOP is cowardly giving him cover to do whatever he wants. With the Defense Secretary, General Mattis resigning his post, because he thinks Trump is reckless and dangerous, should have people worried. Trump was reckless and dangerous before he enter the White House. He is bull in a china shop. If the leaders of the GOP don't stop allowing him to from further destruction to our country, we are headed for a war here in our own country. A new congress is our only way to stop him, but the senate GOP need to follow suite and stop Trump. It is their constitutional duty and the very oath to up hold the very laws they believe in.

Which I welcome.

Unfortunately, we have 2 years of a foreign policy that will be chaotic and dangerous. I don't think we'll get pulled into a war but I don't think we'll help anyone who does. Meaning, Russia pretty much will do whatever they want.

The house will hold hearings. Ridiculously bad things will come out. McConnell will sit there with that sour look on his face, refusing do anything.

We'll probably win in 2020. The country may be irreversibly fractured, like the lower leg of a prize horse. So while we win by getting rid of 45, we lose because things are an utter mess. And of course we'll have to deal with Putin.

Merry Christmas!

Trump wants to completely transform the geo-political landscape. Whether its because of Putin or he just has such an ego he wants a legacy I dont know. But i dont see hime suddenly changing. He is who he is at this point.
