I don't know that either agency has any desire for any exercise of removal, but between the media, which by-and-large completely hate him and can't wait for any exposure that will take him out through political or PR methods, and crazies with guns (both of which we have in abundance, with high correlation between the two it seems), I will be surprised if he is still the President in 4 years. Not that I'm hoping for any event, but I don't think he ever wanted to be President, I don't think his ego let him step aside, and I don't think he knows how to proceed in a cautious manner.

All that said, he's as smart as he is untrustworthy, so let's see what happens.
that's the impression I always got. He sounded like he wanted to say the most outrageous thing he could think of to see his polling figures crumble...but it just won him more supporters.

It looks a disaster from this side of the Atlantic. The U.S. has a president who's inner sanctum are his daughter and son in law with other family hangers on in attendance. It makes it look like some tinpot Asian hellhole state complete with gold taps and goblets.

I feel embarrassed for Americans. Trump needs ousting ASAP.
 
I think he may actually have some difficulty in getting things through the houses. He has bent pretty much every nose in the GOP out of shape and no dobut there are scores to settle. It'll be executive orders left, right and centre for 4 years (or until impeachment or death, or both)

Tbf he seems to have few friends and no small number of enemies, so his inner sanctum was always going to be small

I doubt there will be any obstruction because he has no platform. He will give the GOP unhindered reign to enforce their agendas. He will be a deal-broker when needed, one of his actual assets, but if the GOP doesn't split and start infighting, he will stand atop the mast and take the credit while others steer the ship.

TBF thats probably far more likely.

They're going to have Obamacare repealed the first week Trump is in office, it's absolutely horrifying. GOP is going to be churning out and repealing policies at record pace for the next several years, and I doubt the Democrats will be able to obstruct as well as the GOP did during Obama's two terms.

My understanding is they can take the "nuclear approach" once per FY (or through 9/30), so they get 3 shots before midterms. I would expect to see some "correction" (to borrow a finance/market term) at the midterms.

#1 target is ACA
#2 target is tax code/reform
#3 target is ????

There's also a role for SCOTUS to play, and I'd expect lawyers to be involved. And I imagine (just guessing here) that programs like ACA must sunset. We could be here a while yet.
