Is anyone looking through? In this mess called presidency? Donald Trump experiences gloomy hours again. In Hanoi, the summit is bursting with Kim Jong Un, in Washington his former lawyer Michael Cohen calls him a "cheater" and "racist" during his hours-long hearing. Everyone sees again: a lot of smoke, drama, headlines. As so often in the Trump era, the key question is, what's really up?

Anyone who is already looking forward to being told that whether Trump has finally failed as president, will soon fail or will be voted out in the coming year, is far from settled. History teaches that the man is apparently Teflon. Everything rolls off on him.

So far, Trump has somehow weathered most of the scandals and defeats. He was always able to free himself from the toughest situations with good lawyers, unscrupulous tricks and a bit of luck.

There is no charge or impeachment

The victims were always different: His ex-lawyer Cohen, who now goes to jail. The banks that loaned Trump money and then had to write it off. Rep. Republicans who lost their seats in the recent Midterm elections because they were punished by the voters for Trump's policies.

There is no charge against Trump so far, there is no impeachment, the outcome of which would be uncertain anyway. And no one knows what Russian investigator Robert Mueller has to say in his final report against Trump. Maybe he raises serious allegations. Maybe he can not prove Trump any offense, because he is indeed innocent. Or because the president was so successful at blurring possible tracks.

In other areas it is similar: This Korea summit in Hanoi has burst because Trump and his advisors in their hubris completely misjudged the situation.

Trump meets Kim: the summit fiasco

But that does not mean that Trump would end up with his agenda in the end: the economy is running. As promised, he renegotiated the trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. And he may be nearing a breakthrough in trade talks with Beijing. Sure, the China thing can still burst. But she can also work - and then suddenly Trump would be back on top.

Trump will continue to mimic the innocent

There are only a few securities: The affairs and investigations will not go away. Trump has demonstrably operated too many windy businesses. The Democrats will use their majority in the House of Representatives until election day next year to investigate against him. Trump will continue to mimic the innocent and his followers will continue to scream "lies" and "betrayals" because they've let him go by so far.

If Trump actually manages to survive politically in the coming months, in November 2020 alone, the American voters will have the floor. Do you want to endure this drama, this chaos and the noise for four more years or not. Actually a simple decision, you should think.
