"Trump will be an insignificant Do-Nothing-President."
No political leanings, no vision...
No passion for the job...
Needs a golf-vacation almost every weekend to unwind mentally from the stress...
And the only thing Trump is getting half-way done so far is reversing the work of his predecessor.

The implosion of the American Health Care Act has left Trump with Barack Obama's healthcare policy, not George Bush's. Trump healthcare policy change: nothing.
...
Republicans in Congress still have no agreement for a vision on taxes, and the White House doesn't have a plan of its own. Trump has mused about the possibility of working with Democrats on taxes, but they'll be reluctant to hand him any victories and have settled on the line that they can't change the tax code until we've seen Trump's tax returns, because otherwise we won't know whether the deal is designed to benefit him.
Tax reform dies for all sorts of good reasons, and this administration looks even less organized on the issue than those that have failed to reform the tax code in the past. My bet on a Trump tax legacy: nothing.
...
Last month, the White House circulated a Trumpist "skinny budget," with ideas like sharply cutting spending on the National Institutes of Health and the State Department to fund military expansion and construction of a border wall. Congress is preparing to summarily ignore this budget.
...
The spending bill to keep the government open past April 28 will need to get 60 votes in the Senate, which means it will need Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's approval
...
Of course, Trump could veto such a spending bill, but the news website Axios reports that the White House is in "no mood" for the government shutdown that would ensue. Likely federal spending outlook: nothing terribly different from if Hillary Clinton had won.
...
But what would a "conventional Republican" trade policy look like? Probably the pursuit of multilateral trade agreements that Republican presidents used to favor until they became associated with Obama.
Do you really think Trump will negotiate a free trade agreement with the EU? It seems a lot more likely to me that he will do nothing.
...
Trump has, so far, not demonstrated the attention span for a ground war. A man who figured out it was best to rent his name and let other people deal with the messy business of actual high-rise construction will probably get the logic of launching the occasional airstrike and leaving most of the ground fighting to proxy forces.
I might be wrong — and future external events could push Trump into a ground war somewhere, just as they could with any other president. But so far, the president's main foreign-policy departures from Obama are (1) offending a bunch of foreign leaders, and (2) launching one airstrike against Assad. This looks more like "nothing" than "neocon" to me.
...
Not all presidents have a major legacy. Warren Harding wasn't important; neither was Gerald Ford or Jimmy Carter.
I remain worried that a foreign crisis will be foisted on Trump and that his mishandling of it will get us all killed in a nuclear war. If that happens, his presidency will be very important.
But if it doesn't, I don't see Trump posting a lot of "wins." I see him making Carter look dynamic and accomplished by comparison.

On a side-note: What are the re-election-chances of a President who has no accomplishments?
= new reply since forum marked as read
but his cabinet of know nothings & his access to to the button do not make me feel secure.
He is as crazy as Kim.
As today's cartoon showed MOAB mother of all butt-heads.
