Trump survival is one of the most debated issues this time around in Washington. Accusations, counter accusations, minority rights, ban on travel, and the list goes on and on. Trump keeps everyone guessing what his next move might be.
Wait But Why Trump Survival Is An Issue?
Well, to the mere mortals, President Donald Trump is here to stay and rule for the rest of his tenure. Forget about getting elected for the second time. There is so much that needs to get in the right order before Trump’s team can even thinking of having a second go at the White House.
It is a long-standing tradition that the outgoing President’s team gives advice to the incoming team of the newly elected President.
Wait but why does Donald Trump need advice?
It is one thing to make hefty promises in the election campaign. However, it is entirely a different story to keep those promises.
What would have been the Obama team advice to Team Trump?
Well, there is not one thing they would have told the new team. But the Obama team would have surely let the Trump team know to avoid big statements. To ask Donald Trump not to indulge in micromanaging the things. To let the professionals at their jobs do their work without any interference. The firing of FBI Director is not a shining example of letting professionals do their job.
Republicans Against Trump

Foreign Threats to Donald Trump Survival

The recent alleged leak of confidential information to Russians is another great test for Trump survival.
