Trump has suffered some legislative setbacks, but he and his party control the presidency, the house, the senate and most governorships; gerrymandering of boundaries means that future congressional elections are rigged against the Democrats, and the senate seats at stake in 2018 favour the Republicans.

And directly to the gallows, where we'll hang him high for treason.
You're welcome, Mr. Trump.
