    Overseas bookmakers are addressing this:

    Paddy Power:
    WHAT YEAR WILL TRUMP CEASE TO BE PRESIDENT?
    2020 or later: 10/11
    2017: 2/1
    2018: 10/3

    WILL TRUMP COMPLETE HIS 1ST TERM IN OFFICE?

    I am not a supporter of Trump, nor did I vote for him, but I think he will serve his entire term.

    If I had my choice between Trump (presuming he doesn't do TOO much irreperable harm, including, without limitation, causing a nuclear apocalypse) limping in to 2020 or Pence wrecking it in a more insidious way in conjunciton with congress, I might prefer the former.

    It used to be that you could make fun of a man's spray tan without being called a racist. Strange times indeed.

    They are defending him because he seemed like the best hope for an investigation into the presdient that was not going to be sidetracked like congress.

    From fusionhttp://fusion.kinja.com/how-much-****-will-we-eat-1795086055

    There is political disagreement, and then there is someone treating you like a ****-eating dumbass. Trump has treated the American people, broadly speaking, as ****-eating dumbasses, but his base of support there may not last; more specifically, he is treating Congress as ****-eating dumbasses, and even more specifically, he is treating Republicans in Congress as ****-eating dumbasses. He is acting in ways that are so obviously corrupt that they cannot be hidden, and then giving obviously false explanations for his behavior, on the assumption that the Republicans in Congress will back him up on anything as long as they can get some tax cuts out of it, and therefore he has no need to moderate his behavior. I hate the fact that I have been reduced to appealing to the morality and conscience of Republican congressmen, of all people, but: Come on. All of you are standing on stage in front of the entire world, shoveling **** into your mouths, putting down the spoon, and saying, “Yum, I love this sugar! Sure doesn’t taste like **** to me!”

    Do all of the Trump administration’s enablers imagine that they will make it out of this with their reputations intact? They won’t.

    I suspect they anticipate conditions under which the damage being done to their reputations won't matter. A few tweaks to the voting superstructure here and their and some FoxNews "reporting" and they are as good as new!

    Again, why wouldn't he? Until there is a serious answer to that question, this whole thread is pretty ridiculous.

    I think most who believe he will not finish his term, believe he will resign in somewhat of a "take my ball and go home" move after he gets tired of being beaten with (largely warranted) criticism from the whole country.

    I can understand saying "Ok let's endure a few more years of Trump so that we can ___" if the " ___ " was in any way defensible.

    But right now the ___ is "tax cuts for the rich on the backs of the poor and sick" with a side of " **** you nonwhites" - basically let's permanently damage the Republic with Trump so that we can damage it even more after he's gone. - a few more years of that and rampant inequality that results and we're in Hunger Games territory.

    I know this is an internet forum but is there a way you can check on Sam Fisher well being? The poor fellow has not been the same since Mr Trump won the election. He becomes more delusional and incoherent. He used to be somewhat witty despite being a constant ass, now he just seems unhinged and about to hurt himself. I have one advice for you Sam: relax man, it's only politics. Barry " The Community organizer" did his best to wreck this country and here we are still standing. 8 years with Mr Trump will go by so fast if you have the right attitude and mindset. If you feel like Mr Trump is raping you everyday, then according to a very wise basketball coach Bobby Knight " If rape is inevitable, then just sit back, relax and enjoy it".
    Hope that helps!

    Yeah real cute...these same Obama's children picked up an old white lady at a pool party in Ft Lauderdale, Fl and tossed grandma and her dogs into the pool because she was complaining about their loud music.

    This is far more likely. There are still a lot of people that don't understand what an impeachment is (or was designed to be). It's like getting indicted by a grand jury. There needs to be some semblance of a major law being broken. Then a trial is set in the Senate. It's not a trial of do we think this guy is doing a good job. It's a trial of guilt for the major crime. Two presidents have been impeached and neither was convicted by the Senate.

    There would need to be incontrovertible evidence that Trump knowingly colluded with the Russian Government for crimes to be committed in the US (like hacking) with some kind of promise or exchange of capital. He could still go Reagan and claim he didn't know it was being done by the people under him.

    Calls for impeachment without the above are dumb. Keep it in your back pocket and play it if there is reason to and don't waste it on small ****. The typical way to deal with an unpopular president is to elect opposing politicians in congress that can overcome any vetoes but it's unlikely the Democrats can take the Senate until 2020 and the house until 2022 depending on when redistricting kicks in. Remember, Democrats got 1.5 million more overall votes in the 2012 election than Republicans but won 33 less seats. It would take a margin that we haven't seen since the great depression for Democrats to take the house before Gerrymandering is reduced.

    With about 8-10 months left to go and Trumps poll numbers indicating an almost certain slaughter for him, Trump will resign for "personal reasons" (family, business, etc) and hand the office to Pence.

    This will please the GOP because the Dems will be thrown off balance by having to shift to a relatively unknown target who is not nearly as hated.

    Trumps ultimate final middle finger to America, committing political seppuku (under the guise of being a martyr, no less) instead of being taken down by the electorate. Straight out of a Bond villain's script.

    The real question is whether SamFisher will maintain any semblance of sanity by the time Trump finishes his term.

    The real question for me is why don't Trump supporters monitor their own, like this one who makes a Rape reference followed by this reference to Obama because the University in question is a historically black college or university

    Put this kind of blatant racism in check
