This was said about Nixon too, and Trump is the modern Nixon.  If GOP Senators feel threatened, the calculus will change fast.  If not, then it will left to posterity to address this properly … or not.  

Personally, I think Trump would be okay with being impeached and convicted, it he is then able to parlay that into a Trump Network to rival Fox.  He hates this job, and he's not making money like he expected.

1. According to you, he's making all kinds of money off being President. I don't think he's making nearly as much as he did while in business. Now, according to you, he's not making money like he expected going in so to speak.
   
2. Won't you be surprised if Obama turns out to be the modern Nixon today as you says.
   
3. One thing I've learned about the liberals over the years is liberals/Progressives/blues tend to ignore, try to avoid and openly defy/ go against conventional wisdom as much as humanly possible.
   
4. How much is a fake news channel going to be worth in six years? I bet he'll be able to purchase the old TV networks  and all their newer cable networks for a bargain price.
   

Answering your points in order:

1. Trump never expected to win in the first place.  He planned to start Trump Network all a long.  That he won instead is the primary reason he's so extreme in his narcissism.  But let's get this straight, he rates everything in monetary terms, and his Presidency isn't getting it done for him.
   
2. How on God's green earth can Obama be Nixon?  He had a blemish-free 8 years.
   
3. Whose conventional wisdom are you citing here?  Standard run-of-the-mill conventional wisdom or your own?
   
4. Are you arguing that Fox will crash, or is it CNN or MSNBC?  Personally, I doubt that Facebook will be the preferred source for much longer, since Zuckerberg is working overtime to make them the Lying Network -- by his own admission.
