Seems like he is going for a second term.

So much hate on this thread.

It all depends on when the next economic collapse will happen. The 2008 bubble started with Clinton, Bush got a relative big bubble from Clinton, but the Fed managed to blow air into the bubble for the his hole first term, this is why he was reelected, but when the bubble finally burst in 2008 right before the elections, it killed any chances for a Republican candidate to be elected, resulting in Obama's victory. Then Obama together with the Fed did what all politians do when elected: they kicked the can down the road, growing another, but even bigger bubble during his 2 terms, a bubble that Trump now has to deal with, and he is just doing the same as his predecessors: kicking the can down the road as long as they can. If the bubble pops in his first term, he will lose the elections, but if he manages to blow air into this bubble until 2020, he will get another term.

I do agree with you, because of elections politicians usually bet on short term (2 years) that they can roll on the mid of their term instead of real long term projects that would give real benefits but no reelection.

But if Trump can manage the bubble and keep employment growing and change some of the consumption economy to more infra structure then his approval can hold and he be reelected with much hate and not understanding from Democrats.
