If you thought President Donald Trump was great in 2017, you ain’t seen nothing yet: wait until Trump 2018, a report from Axios’s Mike Allen on Friday morning argues.
Citing multiple sources who have met or spoken recently with the president, Allen reports that those in the know in Washington should expect the “full Trump” in 2018—the president’s upcoming second year.
“If you ask some close to President Trump what worries them most about 2018, it’s not Robert Mueller’s probe,” Allen writes under a headline saying to expect Trump to be “unchained” in 2018. “It’s that establishment guardrails of 2017 come down — and Trump’s actual instincts take over.”
“Next year will bring ‘full Trump,’ said one person who recently talked to the president,” Allen adds.
Allen notes that most of Trump’s major 2017 achievements could have been made by any old traditional Republican, from the tax cuts plan to Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and cutting regulations.
“Most of those in his current decision-making circle — even if they’re not mainstream Republicans — are defending mainstream Republican principles like free trade and an internationalist view of foreign policy,” Allen writes. “But top officials paint a different portrait of Trump when it comes to what he really wants on trade, immigration and North Korea — but has been tamped down by skeptical staff and Cabinet officials.”

2018 brings the 'Conventional Conservatives Republicans' vs Trump's campaign promise ("Build the wall" and "No Amnesty") to a head. This is the CoC fully bought 'advisors' griping to media outlets in advance of the upcoming war.
We will hear the 'more dangerous' or 'unstable' Trump in your usual media outlets in the very near future.
2017- salvage
2018- savage
“Industrial Strength Trump”
“Trump on Steroids.”
I think he (and Sessions) spent a year getting things in place. He accomplished a lot in 2017 — more than I think anyone expected. But in 2018 he’s going to rock and roll and the media had better get on board because they are going to look mighty stupid if they stand in front of the train.
Be careful. Never-Trumpers will tie you up for hours about how pissed they are.
“Turbocharged Fully Blown Hemi Trump”
“with Off-Road Package and Lift Kit”
Step 1 - Sessions needs to go.
That tactic will be less effective every day he goes out and wins.
Dead, I love you but you’re wrong on Sessions.
Trump? You betcha.
Sessions? Not so much.
So says you - a Sessions die-hard sycophant to the bitter end. He's a dirty louse, and everyone knows it.
Since President Reagan we have had ‘government’ transformed into using ‘we the people’ as servants/slaves for the oligarchs of politics. I consider the Bush presidents, to be little different than the in your face progressive liberals.
I am still ‘tea party’ mindset ... NO taxation/mandate/regulation without representation... and I do not consider the religious heretics using US to fund their human trafficking a taxpayer responsibility. Are you listening lying Ryan... stop funding so called religious ‘charities’...
Can the media ever re-gain credibility after a year with Trump? They have been exposed as political hacks and operatives. CNN brags it is the “most trusted,” when it is not.
