Almost two months into what is slated to be the most controversial American presidency since the Second World War, and pundits in Washington, DC, must be running out of adjectives.
The fast-rising cliché concerning the literal or serious nature of Donald Trump’s campaign promises has been turned on its head since he was inaugurated on 20 January, particular with an executive order temporarily barring travel to the United States from seven Muslim majority countries. People are now taking the Donald somewhat at his word, at least for the time being.
But even with this latest turn, the notion that the Trumpster is simply not that interested in being president of the world’s greatest superpower – with all the boredom that entails – makes you wonder whether he will last the next four years. Add to that his age, and the fact that a good portion of Americans must wish somebody would take a shot at him, and this makes for an ideal forecasting topic.
What are the chances that Donald Trump will complete his first term as president of the United States?
