You have to hand it to the DC machine which includes @JohnBrennan: It kept Trump tied down in fake scandal for 3+ years which choked his ability to hold the 2016 Power Abusers accountable. DC will keep the charade alive until the elections. They feel almost free.
The almost 200 judges that Trump installed is not a win for Trump. It is a win for Con Inc who love those judges so they approved it. The exploding Defense Budget is not a win for Trump. It is a win for Neo Cons. Trump did get border fencing. Other than that he's got nothing!
Trolling his opponents on Twitter - as his supporters stuff the coffers of the RNC which gave him @Reince as his first chief of staff and a @HouseGOP @SenateGOP that launched investigations agaisnt him - does not count as winning or as 3D chess.
Trump staffers and confidants have been abused by the prosecutorial machine yet he does not have the power to pardon them. Will he do it at some point? Maybe. But why not until now? Oh, because first wait for Comey to end. Then Mueller. Then impeachment. Well, my point EXACTLY!
