For one thing, I dont think he gives a damn about the repug party or its long term interests, its all about him. Even though he may believe in curtailing immigration and certain aspects of the economy (protectionism), I do think he may be open to adjustments on certain policies, esp foreign affairs, that can do the US and the world a lot of good. NOT for the good of the US or the world per se, but for his own image. We know that he craves a spot on Mt. Rushmore which would be his ultimate goal.
And being a lame duck president, he is under no pressure from lobby groups or other interest groups to get re-elected or help the repugs position themselves for the next election.
Areas where he may have a chance of altering policies on are Israel and Iran. We know he is a penny pincher and does not like to see billions in grants going to some foreign entity, so he may be prone to making Israel aid conditional (ie, stop the genocide and expansion of war to its neighbors).
He can potentially make peace with Iran by re-instilling Obamas nuclear deal with them (yes, a very bitter pill to swallow in implying that his predecessor had it right to begin with) but that the potential rewards are so huge and even may earn him a Nobel prize, that he may overlook his earlier positions on the matter. Remember his peace overtures to Kim Jong Un which he was proud of?
So basically I dont think Trump wants to be remembered as some deranged prick of a prez but as an American hero to be respected in history. I know its a long shot, but does anyone see any possibilities of that happening?
Remember, his ego would be the main driving force in all this.
p.s. AT's censor converts the c word to 'beautiful woman' but prick is OK.
