I agree.
I think the Dems. will be getting hammered throughout the next months all the way up to the elections. They and the media will be buy on defense the entire time.
They'll attempt an "offensive", but I think enough intelligent voters will pull the Republicans through in November.
(Then we may see if the Reps. can do something then.)
His body language - indeed, the mere fact that he authorized and agreed to such a flippant quick vid - should tell any astute observer everything they wish to know. (Which is probably why it was created and posted in the first place.)
I've long said Trump holds all the cards. His problem isn't fighting for conviction(s), his challenge is a literal overabundance of targets. So, faced with wins any which way he chooses, how do you maximize the betting to claim the entire pot?
My guess is Trump has the next 6 months story boarded to the day (week at a minimum). The entire exercise is to sweep Nov 2018. As any good entertainer knows, you save the best for last. You certainly don't open big, with nothing to follow. People have short attention spans - the 'net isn't helping matters either. So, you have to work & mold the clay you're given.
By the first week of November, treason should be the common term used generally by people in everyday conversation. The American public should be sufficiently inured to the shock, and have come to the matter of fact terms and reality, thus leading to their own conclusion(s) about punishment.
Trump is pulling a massive psyops campaign on hundreds of millions of people, using existing media infrastructure to deliver the message. If he can successfully defeat the deep state and restore the republic, then the books that will be written about this guy, the science of what he was able to accomplish, will dominate academics and historians for generations.
