This is essentially what I am starting to expect:

Jared and Ivanka will continue to pull Trump to the left (trashing the Freedom Caucus after his first, horrible and leftist legislative initiative), which will lead to the Dems taking the House in 2018.

Impeachment proceedings will start right after that, with Ivanka and Jared given them enough conflict of interest/enrichment material to use as fodder for their charges.

If Trump doesn’t turn himself around quickly, I think his admin will be ineffective and over before we know what hit us.

There is also likelier scenario if Dems get the House (or come close to it) in 2018.

Trump is far more comfortable with agenda of "spending Other People's Money" (after all that's what he's done most of his life and now he doesn't have to beg bankers for $$) than dealing with nuts and bolts of policy, so working / "making deals" with Dems on spending (e.g., $1T for infrastructure, using public domain authority, even "healthcare for all" including Ivanka's pet causes like paid maternity leave and pre-kindergartens etc. etc.) and trying to peel off few GOP Senators to pass them would be his way to ensure his "legacy" and try to bump up his approval ratings (and maybe stave off the Dems' threat of impeachment proceedings in the process)...

This would put him back into his element — selling stuff / ideas and taking credit if they pass, and blaming conservatives if they don't.

Steve Bannon pretty much confided in that when he alluded to the desire to do "some things that conservatives will not like."

Many conservatives who supported Trump viewed him as (potentially) the best of a bad lot. His self-dealing connections were no secret. TrumpCare/RyanCare supposedly had a scant 17% popular support, yet Trump was apparently anxious to shove it down our throats. When he promised to rid us of Obamacare, who knew that he would attempt to replace it with something worse.

Part of the ongoing globalist agenda is to eradicate conservative philosophy and values from the collective consciousness. Notice that Trump is wasting no time attacking the Freedom Caucus. He will likely continue to demonize and marginalize conservatives going forward.
