What will be the biggest scandals for Trump in the next ten months?

Will there be financial scandals? How much will we find out about Russian money?

Will there be any more military adventures? Are they looking for responses to Iran?

How many more people will expose the secrets within the White House? There seems to be a story at least once a week?

What do you see on the horizon?

Trump's corruption has no boundaries. That being said, I'm betting his ties to Dershowitz and Epstein will come back to haunt him, and it's going to be revealed that he has been heavily involved in trafficking young women for decades. The actual scandal, however, will be that the GOP Congress looks the other way, and his cult followers will cheer him for it.

I was going to say his connections to Epstein as well. And im sure that part of the hold that Putin has over him involves the same thing happening in the eastern European countries where he had spent a lot of time. Except over there, im sure any victims or witnesses have long been disposed of.

yes -men who will cover up his secrets. Not that they won't happen, just that the public won't know about them.

What we currently know is just the tip of the iceberg.

Also I believe that Trump will be emboldened by the acquittal in the Senate and will become more brazen about it. The American people will have to decide if this is acceptable. I am pretty cynical but I think there will be a point when even his supporters will begin peeling away. Unfortunately it may be an economic crisis that will be the final straw.

... but with the absurdity of Dershowitz’s argument that the President can do essentially anything, and the USSRs basically accepting that argument, I no longer scoff. Who would stop him?

When SCOTUS rules that he must turn over his tax returns, and Treasury/IRS still refuse - and nothing happens.

He'll launch attacks at Iran whenever his polling numbers take a dip.

More allegations of sexual assaults and/or inappropriate sexual contact will come out.

More whistleblowers will come forward to confirm other personal Quid Pro Quo demands from Trump

If it looks like he's down big, he will have Barr arrest the Democratic candidate and throw them in jail for a night and make a big spectacle out of phony charges.
