Here are a few I’m seeing:
- Potential government shutdown. Will Trump be able to leverage the fate of the DACA kids to get his wall? Will the Dems cave?
- The Mueller investigation. Seems like Trump & the GOP are doing everything they can to delegitimize the investigation, setting the stage for an attempt to have him fired. May see a redux of the Monday Night Massacre – leading to a Constitutional crisis.
- Economic inequality. Will we continue see a widening gap between the haves & have-nots? The rich will clearly do well from the new tax plan. Will we see this turn into wages rising? Will the GOP need to cut medicare & social security to pay down the debt from the tax bill? This will be the defining issue of the mid-term elections, I think.
On the Mueller investigation, the GOP will not stick with Trump if Mueller makes allegations of money laundering by the Trump and Kushner families.
Agree. It then becomes a matter of how the GOP acts on this. Will they merely refuse his support in the 2018 elections, or will they go even further and push for impeachment?
