I don't know Cars. If he starts following the advice of the qualified advisers on his staff and nothing criminal is uncovered in the Russia collusion probe, there's a chance he can turn this thing around and push through.
He'd lose some of the more extreme in his base who align with Bannon's governmental deconstruction agenda (especially if Bannon turns on him in the media, like Anne Coulter has done since Bannon was ousted). But, he might pick up some more moderate voters if the economy does well and nothing catastrophic happens in terms of national security as a result of his impulsiveness.
If the Republicans actually get their acts together and come up with a better and more fair/universal health care plan on top of tax cuts and a strong economy........I think he'd probably still get a lot of electoral votes from people who think he's crass, clown-like, and backwards in terms of race relations if he ran again in 2020 (especially if the Dems / Independents don't have a strong candidate and platform of their own).
That's ^ a lot of variables and tall orders though. If Trump doesn't make it through the four year term, I'm more inclined to believe that he'll resign rather than be impeached.
