45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. Vol 2
Discussion
Because of his antics you might think his support would melt away.
However, in one area he has been wildly successful, and his supporters know it.
The courts. After Obama there was a record level of vacancies in the judiciary, caused by McConnell's successful go slow strategy. Since then Trump has been working at record pace to fill the vacancies with extreme conservatives.
There are also potentially two vacancies coming up in the Supreme Court...Kennedy and Ginsberg.
This will be the Trump legacy...a massively conservative judiciary with a long,.long life. We may be incredulous now and laugh at this person..but there are major long term consequences .

Sean Spicer did the worst job in politics for the last 180 days all for £150k per year.
Or a lot less than a lot of BBC presenters who say
"Oh hello, this is football"
"Oh hello, this is dancing"
"Oh hello, this is a radio show that I get millions for and if you only own a radio then you need to pay bugger all for tv licence wise... "
Sort of thing.
I will miss Sean, he got given the poison chalice and it soon turned out how poisoned it was, he was not expecting it. People still in power are still getting to grips with it.
I think in hindsight he will come up Trumps
No, don't picture that.

Ulysses Grant's was good & JFK's is worth examining for sheer shenanigans before you get even to the brink of armageddon.Trump does not touch alcohol.

He didn't quite have to look so incompetent though. I mean I know it didn't help with the donald saying wildly different things after his staff all tried to support or cover him, but he was the one making ridiculous statement, then stopping audio and video recording so they could then deny it ever happened.I will miss Sean, he got given the poison chalice and it soon turned out how poisoned it was, he was not expecting it.

I also remember he hid in a bush, hid away from difficult discussions sending out lambs to the slaughter instead.
