This makes me laugh out loud.
Bolton gave a speech recently that was supposed to be 'off the record' and of course, was leaked.
He said Trump's approach to Turkey being 'motivated by personal or financial interests' which is not surprising at all.

However, (this is something I heard on the TV box this Am, so not something I have a link for) Bolton also trash talked Ivanka and Jared, claiming that they wanted to be able to return to the NYC liberal upper crust when the presidency was over, so their game plan was to pressure Trump, after he wins re-election in 2020, to begin changing his legacy by switching to a 'liberal' agenda, including nominating a very liberal justice to the Supreme Court.
How many Trumpettes on this board have insisted they could tolerate all Trump's negative features because in exchange, he was loading all the courts with far right conservatives? Imagine the howling if Trump, no longer needing the support of his 38% of the electorate, suddenly changes horses in midstream and becomes a raging liberal, undoing all the far right things he's enacted, in order to smooth the way for Ivanka and Jared to have a wonderful social life post-presidency?
Serves them right for electing someone with zero moral or political beliefs, someone who has stated many times that he's always after what's best for him personally. If I wasn't afraid of the survival of the country, I'd almost wish that Trump would win re-election, so I can see the sad faces of the people who put their trust and faith in such an immoral and fickle person.

I imagine donald sr. will be living alone most of the time at Mar-a-lago. Melania too will want to move back to NYC and rejoin her ladies who lunch. |

a person with no underlying principles can never be anything.

I don't think he's capable of becoming liberal. The best he could do is spew the same old garbage, but try to spin it as liberal. But I don't think he'll do that either. Actually, he was a very pro-abortion Dem who donated to a lot of Dem candidates until he decided to run for president. He looked at all the voting blocks and decided it would be easiest to capture the blue collar, white male demographic and adjusted his political stance accordingly.
Trump doesn't have a moral framework or firm beliefs on anything. This makes it very easy for him to change course almost instantly, if he thinks it would help him. I can easily see Ivanka convincing him that, post POTUS, he would be more successful if he was more appealing to the east coast liberal millionaire set. After all, the red state blue collar voters don't represent a lot of money, like the east coast elites do.
She's even got the SC justice she wants picked out. And what's to stop him? He won't ever run for office again. What could his minions do to him, once he's re-elected? What could anyone do to him?
He'll be a god - or so he thinks.

Bob you do not post here often so you may not be aware- it is not allowed to refer to political figures with derogatory names. Please edit your post or it will have to be removed. Thank You, deminmaine- Moderator. Wow. Something's not allowed here? I had no idea.  As far a Trump becoming a raging liberal goes, I am almost curious enough to want to see it happen. I do suspect his past pro-choice agenda's desired effect was to derail the propagation of half Trump, half porn-star mutants.  |

I doubt he himself would become a liberal because he has no principals or ethics of his own. That being said once he's won a second term and is assured the Republicans will let him get away with murder I'm sure they will very quickly find that their puppet no longer has strings to pull. He's already a loose cannon so I would not be shocked if he goes totally off the rails if he wins a second term.
