Impeachment won't come from "the people" though.
If he engages in anything potentially criminal, then the law says he must be impeached, whatever his supporters think.
So far, in less than 60 days he has already sailed close to the wind - and may even have crossed the line in regards to some of his assertions or the behaviour of some of his team.
I have never seen a President launch off the pad in such an erratic and wild manner. It's as if he has started a job without knowing the first thing about the basic requirements of the position.
Judging by the behaviour of past presidents who didn't get impeached, I suspect he has some way to go yet. But that can, of course, change in an instant.If he engages in anything potentially criminal, then the law says he must be impeached, whatever his supporters think.

On the Spicer/GCHQ debacle, it's now being said that
- Spicer spoke unintentionally (How does one even do that? "The words, they come out of my mouth, you see, but I don't intend them to. I intend other words to come out. Or not words. I need to work on control of my mouth I suppose"
- Spicer was simply pointing to what the press reports were, not endorsing them. Really? That's the job of the WH Press Sec now? To read out bits of the internet?
Spicer seems to be a *major* problem, on account of being a bit thick, having a big mouth, and talking without thinking a lot. What really puzzles me is why he hasn't been fired. He is consistently more harmful than beneficial for the administration so why is he still around?
Spicer is saying what he's been told to say. They're not firing him because he's the disconnect between the admin and press the admin need. - Spicer spoke unintentionally (How does one even do that?

They can blame him, as they appear to have done here, when things go wrong.

Interesting aside on "The West Wing", one of the most vociferous critics of Trump and his team is journalist Lawerence O'Donnell - who actually worked as a script writer for many episodes of "The West Wing".
On the subject of fictional White Houses, I bet the script writers for House of Cards tore up the early scripts and storylines for Season 5 as "no longer crazy enough".scenario8 said:
Most of the Britain based PHers will have united exposure to his administrations policies, actions and performance but even so those figures surprise me TB.
Rassmussen usually report higher support figures for Trump than the other major pollsters. I don't know why, but they do.Eric Mc said:

Lawrence hates Trump. He has the 10pm slot on MSNBC after Maddow and often references his days on the West Wing. Like a lot of political journalists he has great respect for the office of the President and it disgusts him to see the mockery that Trump is making of it.minimoog said:

That could have been cobbled together from one of 5watt's posts and it will be lapped up by Trump supporters.

Or clumsy is the new truthful, once it's out there they can plead ignorance and apologise as much as they like, point made.<snip>
After the Snowden revelations would it really surprise anyone?

...So that's 7 of us crippling their economy!....
....not going to the US not because of Trump. Undermining your posit I originally quoted...that the EO may well harm tourism in Hawaii. Glad we got that sorted 
I think what we got sorted was that your glib implication about the ban and tourism wasn't really thought through!

How so? You're not not going because of the ban. Lots of other people are likely not not going for the same reason FN2TypeR said:
All over the polls like a rash last year weren't you? Couldn't get enough. You abusive old rotter! I love the way you have swanned back in here like nothing happened, barring the biggest internet flounce that I have ever seen, alongside colossal abuse, racism, voyeurism and hysterics by yourself, it was fabulous.
Link? I love a giggle at a good flounce.Jimboka said:
He's being surprisingly tough on German trade during the press conference now, ouch!
No hand holding on show..
Did you hear him deny ever claiming that he was wiretapped? Apparently it was one of the finest legal minds who said that and the press should speak to HIM, not Trump.No hand holding on show..
The man makes an 80 year old man's scrotum look dignified.
ETA He's an embarrassment to the US. He really is.

There has been a significant decline in tourism to the US according to the Boston Globe and others. Sources in the industry are saying that Trump's immigration policies, even though they have failed in their "objective" so far, have been as damaging to the sector as 9/11.
or... the £ shat itself and everything costs more in America now. Go brexit! , p.s i voted to leave.FN2TypeR said:
The first few pages of the second volume of the presidential election threads will do you, gross levels of abuse, hysterics, the lot. He was personally racist against me, assuming that I was Scottish (wrong), those comments were deleted sadly.
He called you Scottish ? 
How is that racist btw? I'm not aware of being called Scottish having any negative overtones....
