WaPo grudgingly accepts the inevitable: There Will Be No Trump Collapse
The article is still loaded with typical dim delusional mental masturbation and falsehoods, but they know the handwriting is on the wall.

Quote:From the moment late in 2016 when Hillary Clinton’s formless, themeless, listless campaign handed the White House to Donald Trump (assisted by Comrade Putin), Democrats have been counting on the reckless, heedless, careless novice to return the favor. Rather than melt down, though, President Trump is gaining strength.

After a rocky start, the president has cut himself loose from the highly unpopular Congress to create a clear account of his unusual reign, which he repeats with unflagging discipline. He’s a rulebreaker who gets results, and the enemies of change are conspiring to stop him. This is a polarizing message, indeed. But Trump appears to understand that popularity and unpopularity aren’t necessarily opposites. They can be partners: Emotion runs both ways.

Trump’s utter domination of the political debate — he programs the news with his Twittering thumbs — has made it easy to forget the rest of the story. From state legislatures to governor’s mansions, from one end of Pennsylvania Avenue to the other, Democrats enter this election from the bottom of a deep, deep hole.

Politics, like comedy, is all about timing, and Trump’s has been exquisite. Years of unprecedented pump-priming by the Federal Reserve have finally produced optimism about a (relative) gusher of economic growth, especially with unemployment rates falling and consumer confidence up. Congressional Republicans have further juiced things with a huge tax cut and massive deficit spending.

Dark clouds appear on the horizon. Rising oil prices. A looming trade war. And always, the wild card named Robert S. Mueller III.

But for now, the president’s political forecast is partly sunny.

Man, it used to be that periodicals would try to, at least, be apolitical. That what they were writing was just the news. This article reeks of a bias, Trump hating, America hating rag. They are hateful Pieces of Shiate.

But, I'm glad that they're seeing the truth that this president has done more for our country than all eight years of that idiot Oblunder.

A Trump collapse? Fantasy of the Island level.

They even had to slip in the obligatory thanks to the Magic Man Trump has a great economy.

I might add---Eight years of WASTED pump priming because we had a guy in charge that kept kept slamming shut the valves of free enterprise. It only took a year of pro-business policy making to turn a garden hose into a flood.
