My prediction for 2019 is that it will be a very good year—-not only for small town girls and soft summer nights, or city girls who lived up the stairs with all that perfumed hair—but also a politically good year.
In the next 12 months we may see our national nightmare come to an end. If Donald Trump, the most insane President of the United States in our country’s history, hasn’t been impeached and convicted in the Senate by that time, it’s quite possible that he’ll have been so damaged by events in 2019 he won’t be able to run for re-election.
Trump supporters are already complaining about the hearings and investigations they know will take place once the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives on January 3.
Republicans have good memories, but they’re short. They’ve obviously forgotten the 32 Benghazi hearings Hillary Clinton was subjected to at a cost to taxpayers of $20 million. They came up empty, and they only stopped because they had something else to use against her—e-mails.
Who are they kidding? Had Hillary been elected there would have been two years of hearings on that topic, she would have been impeached, and we’d still have eight Supreme Court justices.
Payback is a bitch, and Democrats are hoping the new House leadership will drive Trump even crazier than he already is by publicizing all the illegal, immoral, and criminal activities he’s been engaged in from the campaign in 2015 to the present time.
Transparency is the operative word. Aren’t we dying to see what’s in his tax returns? The Democratic House can finally subpoena those records and they’re going to tell a story. There’s a reason he’s the only president in the last 40 years not to release them (Gerald Ford), and it’s clear he’s hiding something.
The president has had a bad month, and it gets worse every day. Yesterday we learned that when he was chosen to do the show “Celebrity Apprentice” the people who came to him found out his business was hanging by a thread. He had filed for bankruptcy four or five times and wasn’t close to being a business titan. The show’s producers and writers built him up. His business success was fake.
More than that, he’d show up for filming unprepared, and often he’d fire the apprentice who had done the best work. The show’s editors had to scramble to find something bad about the good apprentice to make the episode work.
A few days ago we learned from the daughters of the podiatrist who kept him out of the draft with alleged bone spurs that their father’s landlord was the Donald’s father, Fred Trump.
After bragging for years he was a “self-made” man, it was found that he received $453 million from his father, and that most of that money came from cheating on taxes.
These drip, drip, drips will eventually drown him. It makes no difference what the Mueller investigation unearths. The collective accumulation of events will be too much to overcome.
Many political pundits are floating the theory that he will not run in 2020, especially if he can read the tea leaves. The stock market is down, the jobs he promised the white working class in the Rust Belt will not materialize, he’ll be lucky to get a barbed-wire fence instead of a wall, and the economy may be headed for a recession. Republicans in the Senate, if they think their chances for re-election in 2020 will be severely limited because of his presidency, will desert him. If the choice is between Trump and their survival, they’ll kick him to the curb.
What is likely to happen is that Donald Trump will give a speech telling America he’s been the greatest president in history, presiding over the greatest economy, greatest job growth, greatest foreign policy, and that because he’s kept all his promises and “made American great again, he will choose not to run for a second term.
It’s also possible he will be coerced into making that decision. The Justice Department may make a deal with the man who is famous for “The Art of the Deal.” The deal will be “ride off into the sunset or we’re gonna LOCK YOU UP. “
Even better, picture Luca Brasi holding a gun to Trump’s head, with Robert Mueller handing him a pen and telling him that either his brains or his signature will be on the presidential resignation letter sitting on the desk in front of him.

Yeah, I agree that 2019 is going to be an extremely consequential year for Trump. But I hope he doesn’t get off with a resignation. I hope he does some time, or if not, that he spends millions of dollars on lawyers for a criminal trial. That bastard has been hurting people, one way or another, his entire life. He needs to pay. He needs to be humbled.
