Trump may well win, but that is not how you, 6ix, personally win or get ahead in the world. That is how Trump gets ahead in the world, as he has been doing the last 40 years, taking advantage of suckers who can't understand how he plays the game.

If Trump makes some spectacular mistake, for example, crashing the economy like Bush did in the Great Recession of 2008, and the 42% who always approve of whatever Trump does continue to stay onboard the Titanic captained by Trump, the 42% will go down with his ship. You already sank in 2008, did you not? Trump will have his own lifeboat as did Bush.

You will almost drown, as you almost drowned after 2008. Tough for you, but not Trump's problem. It is the problem for the 42% who are natural born suckers, screwed out of their money by people like Trump. They will find new Trumps to vote for after old Trump is gone. The lower 50% of the population will dependably find a way to sabotage themselves, to keep themselves on the bottom, so that the new Trumps can take the money away.

If Trump wins a second term, he will become more entertaining. I look forward to: "He was never completely hinged... The trip from where he was to unhinged, as he is now -- that was not a long trip."

Trump’s behavior in office was never all that even-keeled. But under the pressure of an impeachment inquiry, he appears more aggrieved. “He was never completely hinged,” another former White House official told me. “The trip from where he was to unhinged, as he is now—that was not a long trip.” (The president, for his part, has called himself a “very stable genius.”) Now, he’s tweeting more than ever and spiking his public appearances with profanity and name-calling.

There’s a certain frenzy to the performances. In one six-minute span at a rally last week in Mississippi, Trump abandoned the teleprompter and darted from topic to topic with all the forethought of a pinball banging off the bumpers: “Spying” on his 2016 campaign. Biden-family “corruption.” Hillary Clinton’s missing emails. The Green Party’s Jill Stein. The Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard. The Russia “hoax.” The “dishonest” news media. The 2016 election. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s acting skills. “Barack Hussein Obama.” A Trump-Biden TV debate and the lackluster ratings it would get. That “poor bastard” Beto O’Rourke. Truth as an unstoppable force.

Albeit with limited success, former aides tried to give Trump’s day some structure. They’d wait for him to come down from the residence, at around 11 a.m. eastern time. He’d have a meeting or two, then eat lunch and, often, retreat to his private study to read newspapers and watch TV-news coverage. He might then have another meeting before returning to the residence. “That was his day,” the person close to the White House told me.

A former White House official who is still in touch with his colleagues in the building described Trump’s routine these days as follows: “He comes down to the residence whenever he wants and leaves whenever he wants. He has a meeting if he wants—or he doesn’t have a meeting. He’s totally in control, and if he wants or needs something, he does it.” (That’s a much lighter schedule than other presidents in the modern era have kept. One November day at a comparable point in his presidency, Ronald Reagan worked from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., taking part in a nonstop series of nearly 20 meetings, briefings, news interviews, photo ops, and phone calls.)

5 years from now, the job will have made Trump 50 pounds heavier and 50% crazier. It should be fun to watch. The alternative? A Democratic President being tortured by GOP Senators. I pity that Democrat because you know the Republicans will blame the cause of Trump's personal failure on the Democrats impeaching him for his personal failings, you know, his lying, his disorganized office routine, his general laziness, his crookedness, his tax cheating, and his non-stop mouth saying whatever pops into his head. Very entertaining guy, but also a very bad CEO.

Top White House official told Congress ‘there was no doubt’ Trump sought quid pro quo with Ukrainians

Under questioning from Rep. Peter Welch (Vt.) and other Democrats, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman said “there was no doubt” about what Trump wanted when he spoke by phone July 25 with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — particularly in contrast with an April call between the two leaders shortly after Zelensky’s election.

There is a sizable number of Republican senators and representatives who believe Trump’s actions are at least theoretically impeachable, who believe a thorough fact-finding mission is necessary, who believe his removal from office is not an altogether radical idea.

But it’s also evident that, barring a plain admission of guilt by the president himself—think Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men—the Republican Party will not be forsaking Trump. He could lose a stray vote in the House, maybe even two, when articles of impeachment come to the floor. He could fare even worse in the Senate, knowing that more than a few of the 53 Republican jurors might be tempted etch their names in the history books at his expense. None of this will alter his standing atop the party; none of this will change the fact that he is president through January 2021 and perhaps beyond.
