[FRIAM] 2019 - The end of Trumpism

[Gary Schiltz]

I wish I could be as positive about the end of "Trumpism", but I too well
understand the people who support him, and their support is the
manifestation of a very ugly streak that runs through the American psyche.
I think Trump will survive Mueller and get re-elected in 2020. Happy new
year to you, too :-)
