There is the very real possibiity that he's met his match. That he's taken his outrageous behavior to a level that he cannot save himself from. Let's face it. Looking at his performance over the past 3 3/4 years he has only been successful at one thing. Being popular. The support of his Repubican colleagues in the Senate has not been due to his level of performance but his level of popularity among Republicans. Performance wise, the stock market has not performed as strongly as it did under Obama. The annual increase on a percentage basis over their respective terms was far better under Obama. GDP has simply continued to remain at the same level under Obama. The cost of living has actually gone up in this country. Trump has started a trade war with China and there are literally no discussions taking place to resolve it. Fail. That has resulted in the price of both Chinese goods and American made goods to go up. His tax plan has increased taxes for many middle class taxpayers in the country's most populous states due to his $10,000 cap on mortgage interest and real estate tax deductions and eliminating the state tax deduction from the federal return. Fail. He has piled on tons of debt at record rates long before Covid was even a thing. Big Fail. And he's turned all of our allies against us. Foreign policy fail. He's rolled back environmental protections which puts our water supply and environment at risk and lowering our overall quality of life. Major fail. But his shenanigans with the election have crossed the line into the realm of inciting violence. That is a crime in this country. It reallly all depends on whether Biden has the balls to allow the DOJ to establish a case and go after him and to take it to the Federal Court system. Time will tell. The reality is his real estate empire is a shambles. He doesn't have the wealth he used to. He may never have had what he's tried to convince us he has. And he was never a very good real estate developer. He is known for overpaying for properties and stiffing his contractors. Banks in the US have refused to work with him for decades. I know because I used to work for one of them. Now he's probably chased away even the foreign banks like Deutsch Bank that were willing to work with him. He's in a fair amount of trouble. Time will tell if it all ends up taking him down.
