If something happens, another 9/11 style attack, then he will get roasted for it in the long run. See, W's incompetence didn't come out until well over a year after 9/11. Trump has bragged about his ignorance beforehand. This is a big difference.

Anyway my view of the Trump presidency is starting to take shape and yeah he's going to do a lot of shit we hate, but he will forever be on defense putting out ethical fires and dealing with controversies. It will be a malaise the likes of which he never thought possible. And it will wear on him bigly. Obama has aged 12 years in 8 but he came into the job a healthy, athletic 47 year old. Trump is a 70 year old tub of goo. The job will probably kill him.
