You forgot one method of eliminating presidents in your poll.

Edit: Maybe that should read "at least one".

I'm trying to avoid being put on any Do Not Fly lists, but yes, a "none of the above" would have been appropriate.

I wish he would be impeached.  Hell, I wouldn't complain if he was shot.  But impeachment won't happen.  Republicans have control of both houses of congress and they won't  impeach their man.  

I hope he's a one term president, but I could see him following exactly the path Dubya went down to get a second term: create a crisis and use that crisis to win a second term.  It was unintentional, but Bush's incompetence allowed 9/11 to happen and he used fear from 9/11 to not only radicalize his administration but to win a second term.  I could see Trump making a mistake that would result in an equally huge disaster, resulting in him getting a second term.

Seriously, talk of cancelled elections and veiled hints at assassination are just as stupid and irresponsible as when the right wingnuts did it during Obama's two terms.

To answer the OP, no.

I think he'll hang for one term, but not be reelected (hopefully better turnout then. Wasn't it 46% this time around?).

Well let's look at the numbers. So far in our history we've seen zero presidents successfully impeached, only one quit and only four assassinated. I gotta go with odds on this one and say he'll do the four years, possibly eight. I'm sure there will be no shortage of calls for his impeachment and likely even an actual attempt or two. I would also wager his twitter activity will end up playing a role in said impeachment attempts.

While I agree that being president is a ton of hard work and Trump most certainly seems to be allergic to any form of hard work, he's as close to being king now as anyone will ever get and his ego would never allow him to consider quitting anything that puts him in the position of being king. So he ain't gonna quit, we ain't gonna fire him and its highly unlikely anyone will off him. Better strap in for a four year ride. And better make it an isle seat because it could easily turn into an eight year ride.

Maybe.  Maybe we can make guesses based on what's happened.

In this case, I think a large part of why Trump won is because he made big promises to the rust belt states.  These are steel workers who are finding fewer and fewer jobs.  These are the coal miners who are afraid their industry is dying.  These are the factory workers who get nervous when they see their jobs being shipped overseas.  He promised them that he would make sure their jobs stay here, where they are.  

And I don't predict Trump being able to do that.  I think, when you run for your first term, your message has to be "Things need to change."  When you run for a second term, you're going to have to say "This is what I've accomplished."  I don't think he's going to be able to accomplish what he's promised, which will make a reelection very difficult for him.

Of course, if some kind of mega crisis comes up, all that goes out the window, just like Dubya did in the 2004 election, when we were still in the shadow of 9/11.  And this isn't out of the question; Trump is making a lot of bad moves, pissing off China and filling his cabinet with corporate predators.  I just hope the people have the sense to realize that these problems will be problems he, himself, created.
