As TJ above referenced JFK and assassination, I would consider this to be as likely as impeachment. Especially with how discontent our country seems to be at this time.



To answer your question, I think mid-February will be the soonest we will see anything start. Maybe as late as end of April. It would not surprise me to see him out by the end of 2017. Either this or never, as most presidents have a pretty slippery layer of oil protecting them.

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

I think he will commit impeachable offenses within the first nine months of his presidency.

But, I don't think any serious action will be taken until after the mid term elections when/if the congress is more balanced.

As much as I don't like the guy, I don't wish an assassination for him for two reasons. I wouldn't wish that for anyone and, as bad as Trump is as a leader, Pence would be worse.

I am not sure it is an impeachable offense, but his continuing to have any control in his companies is a direct conflict of interest expressly forbidden. At least this is my understanding. I would love to see the American people make him choose, presidency or you companies. Take or office and donate your companies, or leave. Pipe dream I know.

I do wonder what the moderate right folks think of Trump and his appointments so far. I would think they are having the same reaction as the dems had when Obama first took office.

So you moderates, what say you about Trumps current "set of folks"
