"As a new chapter in American history unfolds with the start of another year, here are some predictions for the political scene in 2019:

Donald J. Trump's presidency will not survive 2019;
The downward trajectory of every aspect of his tenure indicates we are headed for a spectacular political crash-and-burn - and fairly soon;
His increasingly erratic and angry behavior, his self-imposed isolation, his inability and refusal to listen to smart advisers that he hired, all are leading him to a precipice;


Meanwhile, the global and U.S. economies are softening in great part because of the unnecessary and ill-conceived trade war he launched against Canada and our European allies; if he wanted to conduct a legitimate trade war against China, wouldn't it have made more sense to have trading allies such as Canada and Europe with us, instead of making them our adversaries?
Consumer confidence is declining and the American economy will slow noticeably in 2019. A recession is right around the corner, heading into 2020;
The volatility in the stock markets threatens to weaken Trump's support among the GOP donor class, which will translate to GOP senators pulling away from Trump in short order; "

Much, much more.

With Mattis gone, Trump will pull our troops out of South Korea, much to the delight of NK, China and Russia.

This will be the end for him with Senate repubs, providing the needed votes for the Stark Fist of Removal.
