Trump’s supporters should not kid themselves. The 2016 election was just a beginning. The decisive election is in 2020. If the combined weight of the radical Democratic Left can defeat him, then Trump will be recorded in history as a temporary detour on the march to a socialist-leaning America.

Trump learned that fighting with the most widely read gossip column in New York worked in getting him attention. He had a massive Twitter and Facebook following that allowed him to communicate with the public instantly.
