Has he said certain things that could be taken in a certain way from groups of people ? Certainly. However nobody really knows his inner feelings in this apartment from the man himself. It's because people are taking things that he says and does in the context of other things he's said and done rather than as isolated speech acts completely cut off from all other context. Also worth pointing out that all of the things we're discussing have happened in less than a year of his presidency. Don't think it's unreasonable for people to be worried about the future.

Concern is reasonable imo. I just think all those out there proclaiming this is some kind of Hitler's second coming are a bit hysterical. I will wait until he actually does something crazy before judging him on that. I don't think it's likely to be honest.

Quite a good wee article in the failing New York Times
The Week When President Trump Resigned https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/18/opini...ation.html "And as I watched the Bushes and the generals and Trump's former rivals for the Republican presidential nomination step into the public square to enunciate their own principles about murderous bigots and domestic terrorists, I realized that they weren't going through any typical this-is-what-makes-us-Americans motions. They weren't preening. They were, in the words of The Washington Post's James Hohmann, “filling the void.†If Trump wasn't going to do his job, others had to."

I'm just pointing out when folk come out saying others are great supporters or fans of certain people - when if you read what they actually say it's clear they are not. He's certainly got to start being a little calmer soon. He does seem to be alienating himself to many ex allies. The public don't appear to have changed their time on him much though. I think that's what tptb are concerned with. If he stands for the next election how much change is there going to be from either side ? Very little imo. Completely divided. He may well get another term.

His approval ratings have been going down since he took office. IMO zero chance he'll last a full term and the prospect of him getting a second is just fanciful.

Stranger things have happened.
If I had to guess I'd say this has got "lone gunman" written all over it.

Ill health (horrendous diet and rumours of Alzheimer's) will get him before the US electorate does.
