Of course, there would still be Trump in the White House with his veto pen, so it's really a set of baby steps. Get control of at least one of the chambers in Congress in 2018 - to check the power of (and properly investigate) Trump - then build on that while regaining the Presidency in 2020. Unfortunately, this requires the Democrats to be functional and consistent for a 4-year stretch, which would be a rarity. Edited by Ray in Houston (31 Jul 2017 6.24pm)

Personally I am really enjoying the Trump presidency, its like watching an insane reality TV show or comedy. Its certainly been the most 'absurdly amusing' that US politics has ever been. You're not wrong

When Obamacare passed, they had both but lost it all in one go in 2010. So it's possible, but not probable, that they could turn that back around in 2018.

I'm looking forward to the films. I'm obviously not as anti Trump as you guys...just not pro Trump....But regardless, I hope hollywood can do good jobs...not hatchet ones. Both the comedy ones and the serious ones.

SNL must be pissed that he was fired. It was also bizarre that he wife left him AND he missed the birth of his child all since he took this job. A job he wasn't even set to officially start until the middle of August. How can so much happen in such a short space of time!

This guy will do alright though....Once he'd done enough coke he'll pick himself back up and be back trading.

As dislikable as he may have been, a 10 day job cost him his marriage, the birth of his child, his company for ten days... No way he resigned to 'clear the decks for Kelly'. He's been proper f**ked over here.

A friend of mine (whose wife happens to be a lawyer for NBC, overseeing SNL and the late night talk shows) speculated that this was, when all is said and done, a tax dodge. When taking public office, it's customary for such individuals to divest all personal business interests*. As this is, essentially, a forced divestiture on behalf of the federal government, the federal government waives any capital gains taxes arising out of the sale of assets. So, for his 10 days of service to the nation, the Mooch has liquidated all his businesses and avoided, presumably, a s***-ton of capital gains tax! Bad-bing! Bada-boom!

One person who certainly has a bias against Trump is JK Rowling. Found to be completely wrong about him when a video emerged and went viral. She's had the decency to apologise to the boy and family, but not Trump himself so deep is her hatred.
