Trump Happens
Where can I put money on this thing?
Can I get odds on how many days until the first impeachable offense? On how many offenses before even the Republican congress starts talking about the Articles of Impeachment?
How about odds on whether or not Trump goes to prison on rape charges before January 20th and we swear in President Pence, instead?
Of course, there’s always the possibility that he’ll get sworn in, behave like a completely different person than we’ve seen so far, break all his promises to the far-right wackos, and govern like a Democrat. There’s video of him in the past stating he is more of a Democrat than a Republican. There’s video of him supporting things he’s been publicly denouncing in this election. Which is the real Trump? Was he lying then or is he lying now? What are his real positions? Well, it doesn’t bode well that he’s appointing some real right-wing wackos to cabinet positions. However, he has quickly made public reversals on some key issues.
As much as I’d love to see Trump impeached, I don’t want to see how bad he fucks everything up before it gets to that point. If I got to pick which of these things is going to happen, I would go all in on the last one. That’s what I’d love to see. What I want more than anything is for me to be more wrong than I’ve ever been before. Not only would it be the best thing for the country, but I think that, out of any other scenario, would piss off the worst of his supporters the most.
But I’m not counting on that. I don’t think he’s going to be a good President. My one hope is this: I hope his narcissism can be utilized as a tool to make him adhere to the will of the people. Trump loves ratings. He’s going to want good approval ratings. I hope he figures out what it takes to get them.
