On Trump’s crisis:

You might be right David, you often are. BUT if he threatened to drain the swamp you can be sure there will be many alligators trying to stop him. He's an unusual character for President but I think we need also to read the alternative press because mainstream is certainly gunning for him.

David Fuller's view

Many thanks for your interesting thoughts on Trump.

The prospect of draining the swamp of Congressional fiefdoms has its appeal.  However, Trump is no inspiring reformer.  Instead, his combative personality, irritating Tweets and tendency to shoot from the hip have probably made more enemies than any other President at this early stage of their career. 

Democrats are out to get Trump and they probably have sufficient material to commence impeachment proceedings.  That is a difficult process but Democrats are not trying to remove Trump, at least not before the mid-term elections in November 2018.  Instead, they want to ensure that he is a lame duck, unable to govern.

Republicans are increasingly disillusioned with Trump.  Many now regard him as more of a risk than an asset.  They would have the most to gain if Trump could be removed from office well before the mid-term elections.
