When I look at the political landscape and keep in mind what Juan has said about a NDE for America, even tho I believe we make it thro it, I coonsider what might cause Americans to momentarily feel all is lost.
Given the political atmosphere, that might be something that takes on the appearance that Trump has been taken out of the picture some how for some reason.
I don't think he will be but appearances sometimes prompt moves and countermoves.

Perception manipulations are used by both sides.
