How long will Trump be in office?

His unhinged behavior, sloppiness, and absolute lack of preparation or background knowledge makes it seems like his time in office may not end in a four or eight year increment.

I wonder what other people think though.

Trump will go the whole eight years--the GOP has the vote suppression machine in place and electoral college on their side

As is evidenced by how much he's bragging about inauguration ratings.

The man is bat shit crazy and dangerous. All these executive orders and destabilization of the government has got to be extremely alarming to nearly everyone in Washington. I think they are going to impeach Trump and Pence and put Ryan in office. I am confident it will be under 90 days the he will be president but the effort to get rid of him will start in under 30 days.

is that they are entirely divorced from reality and the especially possible negative consequences of their actions.

Frankly, I think that's why certain patrons of the right cultivated the movement.

There were points during the Bush administration when they could have pulled the trigger on full fascism, but Republican pols balked, not for moral or democratic reasons but because they could imagine what would happen if they failed, or even if they succeeded, what would happen when the public came to their senses and set things right.

It's difficult to imagine the Louis Gohmert's and Paul Ryan's of the world having that level critical thinking.
