It is up in the air. My sense is that with Trump doubling down on his rhetoric, he'd best hope that economic numbers keep floating. But with his scuppering NAFTA, the CoGS is going to rise, because everything from tomatoes to syrup to car parts will no longer be matters of free trade, and consumers will feel that in many different outlays.
He'd better work for higher incomes amongst working-class Americans ... no doubt he'll get on that right away.
The Rs may hold onto the Senate, but my sense is that the House might well swing -- and given their role in the funding process, if that swing happens the Ds can torpedo him. "Yeah, we'll fund the wall" -- and that bill could well be stuck in committee.
That's saying nothing about the outcome of Mueller's investigation. Trump has wedged himself there, too -- because after saying he'd be happy to an interview with the investigator, backing down will look guilty even if he isn't.
If I were Republican, I'd be worried.
