I believe that eventually he will be forced out of office, somehow. Right now the Republicans are circling the wagons - I think they are trying to push their agenda while they can, and they're afraid of losing the votes of the deplorable base (who still think Dolt 45 is teh awesome) - but at some point they'll have so much of Trump's shit on their shoes that they won't be able to scrape it off. That's when they'll stop defending him. It may be necessary to wait until after the 2018 election, but I watched Watergate unfold and for a long time feared nothing would be done about Nixon, even though the Democrats had the majority in Congress. The real reason he eventually went down was because a few GOPers like Howard Baker and even Barry Goldwater finally grew spines. I have some hope that will happen again, but probably not nearly as soon as we'd like.
