Here's a really cynical and surreal pespective and prediction, which incredibly has become believably realistic today:  The Trumps discard all pretenses of  traditional observance of law, custom and practice, and go about  feathering their business and financial nests exorbitantly through Whitehouse traditional and "back"channels.   US government foreign policy is formulated and executed to leverage foreign State backed financing of golf course developments worldwide.  The Administration holds on until all the preferred and necessary details of improprieties can be nailed down, pardons can be signed, and a final Nixonian/Fordsh final pardon agreement solidified.    The art of the deal (with America).
