    Now that Bannon is gone there is nobody in the White House that supports raising taxes on the 1%, building a wall, deporting immigrants, undermining the EU, getting out of NAFTA or leaving NATO. A lot of promises not kept. So this is a recipe for a shrinking base. Once that base gets to around 50% Trump is gone.

    Haven't you been a firm advocate of the USA “dumping the bums in NATO”.
    It seems you are on your own with this one.

    REF: “Trump's Afghanistan [or ANY other] policy”

    The ONLY policy - THE real policy - is to make hay while the sun shines on the Trump Empire [& to hell with the Scandals]!
