I think Trump is planning on surviving. Trump hired a private security company, I think it used to be Blackwater before legal issues with Iraq surfaced, anyway the company owner is a Trump supporter and his company is an international assortment of retired Delta and Seal team members. I can't find the link at the moment but it sounds like the Donald is getting ready to go to war. Trump has surrounded himself with high-ranking generals in his cabinet and I wouldn't be surprised if Putin doesn't have an intelligence op going to advise him of the plotting of the Globalists, Islamists and Zionists who would like to make his Presidency a footnote. I hope Trump succeeds and manages to stay alive because I see only bad things happening to America if the "deep state" wins.

Found the link on Trump's private security...very interesting.
theintercept.com...
Prince credits the 1994 Rwandan genocide with his decision to start Blackwater. He told an audience in his native Holland, Michigan, "It really bothered me. It made me realize you can't sit back and pontificate. You have to act."
From 1997 to 2010, Blackwater was awarded $2 billion in government security contracts,[22] more than $1.6 billion of which were unclassified federal contracts and an unknown amount of classified work. From 2001 to 2010, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) awarded up to $600 million in classified contracts to Blackwater and its affiliates. It became the largest of the State Department's three private security companies, providing 987 guards for embassies and bases abroad. Prince built a shooting range on his rural Virginia land to serve as a nearby training facility to CIA headquarters in Langley, Va. In his memoir Prince says that he provided the CIA with links to Afghan warlords who helped topple the Taliban and drive al Qaeda into hiding."
Blackwater came under increasing criticism after the Nisour Square killings in Baghdad of 17 Iraqi civilians and the serious wounding of 20 more in September 2007. Three guards were eventually convicted in October 2014 of 14 manslaughter charges, and another of murder, in a U.S. court.
The criticism continued after president Barack Obama took office in 2008. Prince said he believes that much of this criticism stems from politics. "I put myself and my company at the CIA's disposal for some very risky missions," Prince told Vanity Fair for its January 2010 issue. "But when it became politically expedient to do so, someone threw me under the bus."
Nevertheless, in 2010 the Barack Obama administration awarded the company a $120 million United States Department of State security contract and about $100 million in new CIA work.
Prince takes great pride in Blackwater's work and points to its successes. According to him, out of 40,000 personal security missions, only 200 involved guards discharging their weapons. "No one under our care was ever killed or injured. We kept them safe, all the while we had 30 of our men killed."
Disclosure as part of a covert CIA task force
Prince was part of a CIA task force created to kill terrorists. Allegedly, the House intelligence congressional committee leaked his name to the press. Prince has said that he is convinced that former CIA director Leon Panetta outed him as a CIA asset, after shutting down the covert CIA training operation in 2009. Prince compared himself to the target of the similar government leak of Valerie Plame:
Valerie Plame's identity was compromised for political reasons. A special prosecutor [was even] appointed. Well, what happened to me was worse. People acting for political reasons disclosed not only the existence of a very sensitive program but my name along with it.

The swamp that he hasn't drained is going to kill him. Surely he remembers Kennedy,at his age-he'd have been a teen- probably seen the assassination live on TV as even small children did then, unless he's as senile as he is arrogant.

Since Bush was in when The MOSSAD CIA and the Saudis did 9/11 and Trump has said he will reopen it, no wonder Bush is looking glum. If I was Trump I'd be scared of getting droned as all the Dems wont be there when an explosion happens.

That's another thing he might have to declare marshal law as his first act. To control the purge.

His ineptitude will be enough. When he is danger to us they won't take sides. You know they really hate him anyway. Everybody does.

This is a valid point to make. For what it's worth, all the pipe hitters I know, i.e. real deal SOF guys are 100% Trump - either because they voted for him or support the Constitution they signed up to defend.
There's a reason he has these Generals on his cabinet... I bet you couldn't find one vet or active duty guy worth his salt who wouldn't follow Mattis into the gates of hell.
