PREDICTION: DONALD TRUMP’S GOING TO BE SACRIFICED BY THE GOP
.
If you hate Donald Trump, now’s the time to go out and get some popcorn, because he’s about to be sacrificed by the GOP. The GOP is a ruthless bunch, and now America’s going to get a ringside seat to see just how ruthless they can be with one of their own.The minute Trump signs the Republican tax cut he’ll become a liability to the GOP. He will have served his purpose, and thereafter he’ll instantly become an albatross around the GOP’s neck heading into the 2018 and 2020 elections. He’s reckless and unpredictable, he has absolutely no idea how to even pretend to be president, he’s nearly universally hated (even by Republicans), and he’s the most unpopular president in the entire history of the United States, hands down. So the Republican Party can’t afford to have him around going into the coming two elections because he’s dragging the entire party down. While his agenda is in perfect sync with their own - to cut America’s throat and drag the poor and middle-class way of life back to the days of Jim Crow and the Great Depression - he doesn’t have sense enough to keep that agenda a secret, which is an absolute must in order for the Republican Party to remain viable. He gets out and brags about it in order to appease his bigoted base.
.
So when we hear that the Republicans are turning up the heat on Mueller in order to bring the Russia investigation to an end, that’s a farce. What they’re actually doing is stirring up enough criticism toward Mueller to give Trump a false sense of security and to make him think that he has the backup to let Trump be Trump. That will embolden him to do something stupid, like when he fired FBI Director Comey. Once he does that, or something similar, the GOP will claim that they don't “have any choice” but to "cave-in" to the resulting cries for impeachment. After all, why would Trump even consider firing Mueller or pardoning Flynn and others if he wasn’t guilty of wrongdoing? The GOP knows that, and the American people will also know it, so the GOP's hands would be tied, like in the case of Richard Nixon.
.
Mueller is undoubtedly already in possession of enough evidence to impeach Trump with just what we know publically - obstruction of justice, violation of the Emoluments Clause, and violation of the Logan Act by negotiating with Russia prior to entering office, and that’s without even addressing their attempts to establish “back-channel” communications with the Russian government. But Mueller is being thorough in his investigation and the clock is ticking, so the GOP wants to hurry up and bring this process to a head before the elections, because the oligarchs who run and finance the GOP know that if they lose the coming elections the Democrats are going to walk right in and repeal everything the GOP worked so hard for, and they should triple the corporate tax to 60% to make up for the tax fraud that took place under Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush - and according to the polls, the Democrats will do it with the complete blessing of the American people.

I mean, let’s face it, Trump is so self-absorbed and narcissistic that it's next to impossible to feel any kind of loyalty toward him, or even to like him, because he has absolutely no loyalty toward anyone else. It's all about Donald. Look at any picture of him and his wife together. She looks like she’s so disgusted by him that she can barely hold down her lunch, or even pretend to like him. Her eyes seem to say, "Will you just look at this idiot!" So if his wife feels that way about him, one can only imagine how disgusted the Republican Party is with this strutting, bloviating, credit-hoarding egomaniac. The GOP establishment didn't want him as the nominee in the first place, but the alt-right Hillbillies shoved him down their throats. So now they have the chance to correct that problem.
.
And for those of you who think Mike Pence is just as bad, but in a creepy, theocratic way, he may be in hot water as well, because Paul Manafort, who is currently under indictment, brought Pence into the administration at the last minute. Chris Christie of New Jersey was set to become Trump's vice president, but for Paul Manafort. Thus, Pence has a direct connection to one of the biggest alleged criminals in the entire Russian investigation, and it's all but certain that Mike Flynn is singing like Pavarotti about Pence to save himself and his son.
.
So again, I'm convinced that once Trump signs the Republican tax bill, the GOP is going to set him up for impeachment. It's all but a certainty. In fact, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they've started leaking to Mueller already, like many in his White House have been leaking to the press since day one. Mueller didn't get those tens of thousands of emails by accident. So mark my word, Trump has served his purpose and has now become an ugly and hated liability, so he’s about to be sacrificed by the GOP. It will only take six Republican votes to impeach him, and he's bullied and lambasted more Republican senators than that - Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell can't stand Trump - and likewise, many in the GOP can't wait to see Trump swaying in the wind, because nobody likes a self-serving bully who thinks everyone else is beneath him - including his own wife.
