Summary

Trump is taunting allies and defying Congress -- and seemingly getting away with it.

Trump remains a divisive and unpopular leader who is vulnerable in 2020 . But a Washington Post-ABC News poll released recently was the clearest warning yet for Democrats that Trump is gaining strength beyond his core base of support.

Trump would probably be doing even better if so many people weren't turned off by his crass behavior.

Trump's foreign policy has been a disruptive megaphone, with little real success to show, but here again, he gets away with it.

The public sadly seems almost as weary of Democrats' investigations as of Trump's scandals.

Democrats should wake up: Like it or not, Trump is on something of a roll.

Hillary Clinton thought Trump would beat himself, but she was wrong.
