100%, and investigate the Biden's while they are at it. Double check that Trump's kids are on the up and up as well. Which one of them was bragging about how many Russians own property in their properties again?
Right, they haven't, and in my opinion, they deserve criticism for that. I don't think he deserves to be removed form office for it, but it's one more thing to put into the "con" column. He has pros, he has cons.

What's going to happen if he gets re elected? 4 more years of temper tantrums?

Nikki Haley is looking formidable for 2024, with maybe Tom Cotton as the VP (honors graduate of Harvard and Harvard law, Army lieutenant with combat experience). Who are the dems going to run? AOC? Bernie Sanders again? They need some help developing their bench strength.

If he keeps acting like a petulant bitch, then yes, unfortunately. That is likely. He will have less filter, but a significant governor on that will be that he will not have another election over his head, and he will start to lose support from the right in both houses as they start looking at their own 2022 and 2024 reelections.

Odds are, there will be a recession in the short-term, likely between 2020 and 2024; that rarely bodes well for the party in power.

That's very true. It's also telling, that that's the best hope for the Democratic party.

I think you're spot on, we are overdue for a modest recession (nothing like what happened in 2008). I have 40% of my IRA in cash, waiting for that to happen, then I'll jump back in.
