(5,754 posts)he can play golf and sell Trump properties full time, blame all his failures on the Democrats, make some money, then declare victory. He can do campaign rallies and charge his ego boosts to the campaign. Perfect for him.

(18,837 posts)Then, as it sank in, it fit Trump's logic perfectly.
He has attacked Nancy Pelosi since taking office.
If he can place the blame on her for EVERYTHING in the run-up to 2020, that would be his dream come true.
And you're right, he would cease all efforts and spend more time in "executive time" and golfing.
It's one of those tinfoil hat theories that ain't so tifoil when you consider the players.

(6,377 posts)It's hard for the Republicans to really paint Democrats effectively as the enemy when they don't control any of the 3 branches. Take back the House, and suddenly the Republicans have a boogyman again that they can use to scare voters to the polls.

You're right. He's gonna blame Dems anyway like he does now even though rethugs run everything , so why not vote to try to take back the House this fall? Also on a side note, Dems HAVE to come up with better messaging though & talking points. "A better deal" isn't cutting it.

(18,964 posts)Assume that the Democrats take the House but not the Senate....
If Trump can goad, irritate, or incite the House to bring about Impeachment charges and pass them, then it will go to the Senate...
which may still be controlled by Republicans...
soooooo....
The trial on the Articles of Impeachment will fail by a Republican Majority...
And Trump can assume tha mantle of the victim..blame the liberals...for all the failures of his administration...and incite his rabid base for the 2020 election.
I know this sounds far-fetched but this guy (and his demonstrably more crooked advisors) is so crooked I wouldn't put anything past him.
