Our Special Correspondent in Washington, a source whose
predictions we have found invaluable over the years, tells us that
Trump’s impeachment grows more imminent by the day and that the forces
behind the push to destroy the President and force him out of office are
also staunch Pence supporters who would like to see Pence in the White
House by the end of this year.
The same correspondent tells us that the British government, already
sensing which way the wind is blowing, has not only begun to cool off
considerably toward Trump in recent days, but has also begun to makes
its first tentative overtures to Vice President Pence, fully expecting a
new regime in Washington within the near foreseeable future.
An article in Saturday’s Daily Mail actually takes the
extraordinary step of putting in a good word for Trump, saying he will
be sadly “missed” when Pence takes over—a step all the more
extraordinary in that the Mail’s attitude toward Trump has previously
been far from complimentary. This can only mean one thing: that
President Donald Trump, for all his faults, is seen as a better bet all
round than President-in-waiting Mike Pence.
There is indeed the widespread perception, both in Britain and
elsewhere, that to go from Trump to Pence would be like jumping from the
frying pan into the fire.
