Question DUers...(I have many today thank you) [View all]

Now that Trump has packed the Supreme Court with his picks, IS it possible that After Four Years, Trump may not STEP DOWN? He Joked with Xi Jinping of china that he wouldn't mind being President for Life. If the Supreme Court and the Republicans in power allow him to continue will he do what he wants?

This maybe a silly poll, but it scares the hell out of me, of whats ahead.

	When his term is up he will Step down, even if forced.
