Trump is without a doubt extremely lucky. How long will his luck last?

For me, this is the most confusing thing about Trump. Trump is smart when it comes to misleading the news media because he has 50 years of practice. He is smart about protecting himself because for 50 years he learned from the dirtiest lawyers in America. Besides that, Trump is a dumb incompetent mother fucker.

He has run the Whitehouse, our government with complete incompetence. He knows nothing, cares about nothing, has no beliefs, does not educate himself on issues, fires everybody, hires corrupt people, does not look ahead, does not care about consequences of his actions, takes advise from Fox News hosts, lies about everything to everybody. Threatens everyone including our allies.

He does all of this and more and he never pays a big price. It's bizarre, one day that luck may end suddenly and violently.

For a real coup to take place, one needs tanks and a big Military to pull it off, overthrow a corrupt president, and instill Martial Law.

That will not happen here unless the PEOPLE VOTE in 2020. At the Ballot Box is where we have our power. We have a Constitution even a president must adhere to. Congressional Republicans? VOTE them out!

trump inherited $ and NYC connections, 'con race baiting dividends starting with Goldwater, gerrymandering, the tea party, 'con control of a corrupt Congress for 2 years, - and underlying longterm, worldwide economic/social decline for a large percentage of voters, resulting in cultures of disappointment and unrest.

I used to think competence and ideas counted for something. But they don't. Turns out all you need is BS and staying one step ahead of the cops. It's not luck. The world itself is bizarre.

Like his father he may be a dementia plagued elder & forget everything- but a team of hired nurses will change his diapers & feed him forever.
