After reading a few things about presidential advisor Steve Bannon and some of his stated ideas, I think it is quite clear that Donald Trump wants to start a war with Islam. Of course, he will refer to it as 'militant Islamic terrorism', while he clearly thinks that the United States is a Christian country. These twin misconceptions (that the U.S. is a Judeo-Christian nation, and that Islam has a monopoly on terrorism) lead the hyper-militant Bannon and his trusty sycophant to the absolute belief that their aggressive stance toward dissent equates to the quashing of a mutinous rebellion against morality. If you're against them, you are against everything that is right and holy in the world.
   This inability to see two sides of an issue will provide the basis for Trump's downfall. There's no way that his approach to governing will work in the real world. In his business dealings (and probably his personal life as well), Trump has had to answer to no one. He can label every defeat as a victory, every setback as a gain, and every bankruptcy as a testament to his business acumen. Whoever disagrees gets fired.
   He doesn't seem to understand that his new position makes him a servant of the people. This is his first real job, and he moves from never having had a boss to having 350 million of them. It's an untenable situation. His impeachment is inevitable. If the Republicans manage to get Neil Gorsuch onto the Supreme Court, their next move will be to get rid of Trump. He will have served their purposes and we all know that they don't really like him at all.
   If, however, the Democrats manage to stall Gorsuch's appointment, things will get sticky and there will be some real unrest in the country. Either way, this is truly a pivotal point in our country's history. Gorsuch's appointment would leave a very bitter taste in the mouths of Democrats who saw Merrick Garland's nomination wither on the vine. The denial of Gorsuch would create a firestorm on the right, claiming that the will of the people had been denied. How do we avoid a boiling over of conflicting emotions among the general population?
   The thing to do is to amend the Constitution and hold an election for the Supreme Court. I don't see any other solution that would satisfy the general population. Of course there would still be some sore losers no matter what outcome may be reached. I would think that it would provide a chance for the country to let off some steam. Maybe for future vacancies in the court, the sitting president could nominate his choice and a Senate committee of the opposition party could nominate another candidate, in order to avoid the primaries of a general election.
   The Supreme Court vacancy supersedes all other political considerations of the moment. I expect Trump's presidency to implode without any outside assistance.
