I think he will serve his term. I also think that if he chooses to run again he will be re-elected, unless the Democrats stops deluding themselves that the American people voted wrong and let them down, and start to take to heart the bitter knowledge that it is they who let the American people down. The people wanted a fundimental change and the Democrats were determined to preserve the status quo regardless of what the people want. If that remains unchanged, Mr Trump will be re-elected. Mark my words.

The reason the media got this last election soo wrong is that the mainstream media is misidentifing the dividing line. The voters, especially the younger ones are realizing that both sides are really on the same team and the right/left divide is really illusionary so the question is now about establishment/independent where the voters are definitely on the independent side of things. Remember Trump ran as a outsider, but now he is in office he has basically governing as Republican insider as possible and at some point the voters are going to turn on the party and either switch sides or drop out altogether. Basically what I am saying is that the energy he had this time will not be there. Next year's midterms may provide a clearer picture of his chances.

IMHO Mr Trump's smart tactical play would have been to craft a Trumpcare bill which gets as many Republicans as possible to support it but which excludes the ultra-right Tea Party shitbag types such as Cruz and Santorum, and then make Paul Ryan call the vote, regardless of the certainty of defeat, so that all those who voted it down for not being sufficiently mean-spirited and for not sufficiently excluding the indigent and poor from access to healthcare can be shown to the world and named and shamed. In this way Mr Trump could position himself with the voters and even leave the door open for future horse trading with the Democrats in Congress, and leave the Cruz and Santorum side out in the cold, openly inviting the voters to get rid of them if they think fit. Like Churchill in WW2 Mr Trump's real strength is his connection with the voters, which the establishment politicians has totally lost for decades now. As long as he has Twitter, he can sidestep the media prostitutes and go over the heads of the Republicans in Congress and outmanoevre the establishment, as he did when campaigning. But he allowed the Republicans in Congress to escape from the corner they painted themselves into and if I were him I would look for my next opportunity to revive Trumpcare and talk to the Democrats as well as to the mainstream Republicans and build a consensus which freezes the fascist elements out. But I am much more liberal and progressive than he is (you dont need to be very liberal or progressive to claim that much) and I wonder if he is capable of even wanting to cut a deal on the centre ground to deliver a better healthcare system.
