Trump's future rests with the US Constitution

The way the US works is that everything in the end depends on the interpretation of the Constitution which was written in 1798 and amended 27 times, the last time in 1992. It's the Bible for the courts. Donald Trump will probaby become the next president of the United States unless the interpretation of the constitution by the US Supreme Court rules otherwise. Since three of the judges on the supreme court were appointed by Trump he ha a pretty good chance of winning all the rulings that are going to be coming out of the court over the next few months, not least the one expected on whether Colorado and Maine have the right to ban Trump's name from appearing on the ballot for the primaries next year. The huge debate going on since the Colorado and Maine decisions, the former by the state supreme court and the latter by the state secretary, will guarantee that Trump will get more publicity than all the other presidential candidates put together, and that may not do him any harm at all. He loves being the centre of attention. Other Republican candidates will hardly get a look in. Yes, it's Trump all the way from now on.
