If it hasn't happened by now it probably won't (#3723)

     In the first few days of the appointed presidency of trump I had expected that he would either retire or even expire. Well that didn't happen and then the Mueller investigation seems to have fizzled so the now likely outcome is that trump will serve the full 4 years. If you would have asked me right after the 2016 election if I thought many of us would die I would have said yes. But that seems not to have happened either so I expect that the extremes I thought would come about haven't. Yet the damage that trump has wreaked on our world will be felt long after he is dust.
     The good news is that we have only 19 more months of trump and most of his elected republican protectors. I am certainly satisfied that our democratic base will be fired up to end the trump charade and then punish those who are helping him to destroy our democratic society. In the meantime we cannot count on some miracle that trump will suddenly be gone from our political, economical, and social lives. But what we can do is make plans for his ouster and then work on solutions to the problems we will face once he is gone from public life. There are many wounds to our society and to the world body that trump has intentionally inflicted.
     Keeping the problems to a minimum is our goal for the rest of his appointed term and although it won't be easy we must try everything in our power to curtail the last of the damage he is strategically planning. He is not going to make life easy for we the working middle poor class but we have options now that we didn't have before the 2018 midterm election. These last 19 months will be a time of unnecessary suffering on behalf of many in our working middle poor class but we must get through it so that when the voting time comes on November 3rd. 2020, trumps departure becomes reality. Even then he may try like hell to stop a fair election but if he even dreams of causing a constitutional crisis our torches and pitchforks will be there to help him out of our once proud national White House.
