He'll most likely get elected for a second term. The US election cycle is like a pendulum and will continuously shift back and forth between the 2 parties. Anything bad that happens during Trump's administration will be used as ammo by the Democrats to discredit the Republicans and this exact cycle will repeat for continuous years with the Republicans trying to discredit the Democrats. This same exact cycle's been going on for over 25 years and it's not going to change anytime soon.

More than 25 years.  Since Eisenhower won in 1952, it's been almost like clockwork that the out of power party would win two terms in a row and then be out for two more years.  If someone made a prediction in 1944 that Democrats would win the next two elections only to be followed by a Republican winning two and then have the parties swap the White House every eight years thereafter, that person would have successfully predicted the party that won every single race since WWII with the lone exception of Reagan defeating Carter in 1980.

That's 18 out of 19 presidential elections.

Didn't George H.W. Bush win an election right after Reagan's 2 terms? Besides that, you're pretty dead on.
