Trump is going to connect white nationalism via immigration to the economy. He's going to scare old racists to show up by saying Democrats want to give free healthcare to Mexican and central american immigrants and frame this as a socialism scare. So even the economy I suspect will be tied into promoting racist fears and sentiments.

I figured that was just common among for lack of a better term, nerds

I honestly think it entirely possible Trumps foreign policy may be structured as one giant shake down scheme and what you say could be entirely true only I'd thereby not characterize it as bribery but political graft.

Remember when Trump sent Kushner down to meet with Mexican authorities to "discuss the wall" at a time he was threatening tarrifs a year or two ago and Kushner wouldn't allow the us ambassador to attend? Shit like that really raise some red flags. Kushner has no business making deals with foreign leaders and it all smells of corruption.

I'm not saying this happens with every government in every situation but Kushner sure has met with many leaders and can anyone point to any concrete deals that have been made? Can anyone explain why the state dept wouldn't be doing this instead and in scenarios past people like Tillerson would complain of not knowing what Kushner would be doing, as would other White House admin officials like McMasters, Kelly? Does anyone think Trump has some super secret foreign policy plans that he can't trust anyone else know outside of himself and Kushner all while often simultaneously threatening such governments with economic penalties?

Trump recently spoke of the trade deal with China and kept repeating everyone knows they "broke the deal". But does anyone know the deal or how they broke it? It just all sounds like potential for corruption and abuse.

I heard this while driving this morning.

I hadn't heard new music this good in such awhile. It was so nice.

If dems don't impeach they risk upsetting their core constituents who see this as necessary. The base will view it as a betrayal. See Republicans love to say just how much impeaching Clinton hurt them politically. The truth is not impeaching Trump will hurt dems politically. I think for that reason on top of all others it will happen. People want it to happen because it's the right damn thing to do. This is above and beyond political consequences. Besides can Trump's base really widen or dig itself in anymore than it has?

If not then by summer we will hear a whole lot about how the best thing to remove Trump is to win the 2020 elections. I also think Democrats want more ammunition to use like say his finances which if they're as bad as they could be might even weaken Republican support for Trump.
