Happy 4th!

I think Trump’s stupid foreign policy on trade, etc. will help push him out the door.

If enough big business people see they are going to be losing business ($$$) with Trump in office, they will look for ways to push him out. Add the investigations and his general lousy character and you may have all the reason for the money men to help light a fire under the recalcitrant GOPers. The Republicans may want to keep and use Trump, but if the big wheels in the GOP want him gone he will be gone.

Politics is one thing, money is bigger.

Not to mention the fact that for a candidate who based a large part of his Presidential campaign on “trade issues”, Trump - and also, Congressional Republicans - has so far, done little or nothing to even address the fundamentals (and enshrining pro-pollution climate-change denialism as government policy doesn’t count), still less come up with any sort of coherent plan to deal with them.

Of course, Trump’s campaign “trade issues” were, for the most part, bullshit: equal parts mindless resentment-stoking (“the whole world is screwing us on trade deals!”) and narcissistic ego-stoking (“I’m gonna make the BEST deals!!”). Eventually, I think, it will finally dawn on a lot of folks that turning the US into a “rogue state” is not, actually, going to lead to an economic Golden Age after all….
