Is Donald Trump, as his MAGA base hopes, a transformative president, one who will be succeeded by a favored Republican, cementing as lasting his disruption of business-as-usual in Washington?
Or, as progressives dream, will he be followed in the White House in 2029 by a Democrat who will work tirelessly to erase Trump’s agenda, making his presidency a flash in the pan, a tale full of sound and fury signifying not much?
It may seem early to speculate about all that with the 2028 election still 2 1/2 years in the future.
Yet Trump has big ambitions and limited time to accomplish them as the Constitution restricts him to this final term in office. And he faces challenging mid-term elections in the fall that may increase Democratic power in Washington.
