Entertaining.

It's not Trump's inconsistency they fear, it's his consistency. He's incredibly competent and consistent and the gains he's made has been, he's accomplished only by leveraging some corporate interests that own Congress against others. They wanted the tax cuts. They don't give a damn about the welfare state. They want open borders and realize they lost the black base that used to guarantee them election wins.

Pop on a Trump interview from 1986 with Dave Letterman:



Cue it to 13:50 and one sees he's been Johnny one-note for over 30 years. He's finally doing *exactly* what he said he would do:
cut regulation, lower taxes, stop foreign countries from ripping off America. Nothing's new here.

But you're right the GOP hate him as much as the Dems. They all answer to the same foreign or corporate interests.

Trump has leveraged power and has exposed these parties both plotting against him - and the people he represents.

Your illusion of a "fascist police state" after the coup failure are completely off base. Trump supporters are now 15% of former Obama voters. Were those Obama voters fascist in 2008?

All politics are local. These people voted for economy and jobs. Another group voted because they saw their neighborhoods crumbling and low skilled immigrants an refugees being flooded in.

By the mid-terms Trump will have 15% of the African American male vote. By 2020 that figure may be 25%. A job, low taxes and a rise in local property values may be all they care about.

The corporations are pragmatic. They adapt. If it becomes possible to make as much money in the US as they did outsourcing to China? Sure, they will do that. They wont eliminate Trump, they will merely try to thwart part of his agenda. They will fight the wall, Dems will fight for their new illegal alien voters. Every election cycle they hope enough of those babies will win the day for them - as they hoped would happen in '16.

Trump is very smart. He is also very driven. He has been thinking about this for 30 years! Considering how almost everything has gone his way, I think it's safe to say he has planned for the mid-terms and his re-election as well. He knows how to make himself invaluable to some very powerful companies and for the first time they no longer can simply *buy* an outcome - so they deal. He will play one enormous interest against another and try do so in a way that America comes out on top.

If you still believe anything any msm reports, after all the proven BS on every network, you need to analyze *why* you *want* it to be true.
