I think we managed to stay on topic

Frankly it's up to them now. I'm not sure on the maths but apparently 2018 will largely be the Democrats defending senate seats whilst the various ways the districts are drawn up means they are unlikely to get a majority in the house for the foreseeable future. Trump has at least 3/4 years with a Republican House and Senate. He'll be relatively free to do what he wants.

My bigger concern is what impacts us and that is foreign policy. He wants to tear up the Iran deal and replace it with a better one, but that deal took years and many nations. What will he replace it with? With will happen about Eastern Europe? If Putin asks for the removal of some NATO defences will he comply? And so on.

The other side is maybe he moderates? He is a bit of a wild card but he was never especially policy focused in debates or in interviews. The first clue we'll get is who he appoints to his cabinet.

I still deeply dislike the man. I think he fails the standards of decency. How he talks about women, minorities and other groups makes me fearful he is now the most powerful man in the world but we don't need to revisit all that again
