I post again my explanation of The Political Outlook. But first I offer more explanation why Trump is our last chance despite his incorrect positions on some issues, and despite his incompetence in his first term in staffing his administration and failure to stand behind General Flynn, thus setting off Russiagate and marking himself for failure.
As I predicted, Trump took on the ruling establishment without an administration committed to the task. Trump’s appointees, which include the current FBI director, could not have been any worse. In effect, Trump doomed himself to failure and persecution.
By this terminal stage, the competent have been driven out, quit or burned out.
