Akhenaton, , new young Pharaoh, (brash and also having a beautiful wife, Nefertiti), abolished the pantheon of the powerful Gods of Egypt, replacing the capital and introducing a monotheistic worship to a single God, Aton.
However, after his death, everything he did and introduced was dismantled!
Now Trump, equally brazen, (again with a beautiful wife, LOL), is set to erase much of the legacies of not only Obama, (Global Warming remedies, Clean Air Act and Obamacare, but also those of Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and the Bush Dynasties, (free trade and pluralism, Nato alliance).
However the path is likely to be the same as the upstart young Pharaoh!
First the undoing of Climate Change remedies will, unfortunately be allowed by the House and Senate and Trumps supporters will be appeased a lot. Then he will meddle with trans-Pacific trade and folk will celebrate such hollow victories.
Having held back with the required gentlemanly discipline and placated Trump supporters, (by allowing some Trump destruction to actually happen), "Brutus", (Senator McCaine et al), will strike. After all, these powerful men with a network of special interests will have been quietly plotting, all along, to define any set of plausible set of "Crimes and Misdameaners" that could garner enough votes from both side of the aisle to impeach him! What could that include, (after all Bill Clinton got pulled before an impeachment panel just for lying),
Whatever the final package will contain will evolve, (and for sure Trump will provide more excuses on his own).
Be assured, all talk of new-found unity in the Republican Party is perfunctory: it's fabric is fragile! Beneath that smooth facade, there's the pent up elastic recoil of unassuaged anger from Trumps deluge of humiliation Trump served on his opponents. The deep and vicious wounds Trump gleefully inflicted the powerful leaders of the Republican Party cannot heal and the festering right to revenge will build in pressure. Imagine, less than half the republicans and most of the democrats could easilly make Pence President. They would have their cake and eat it too!
Now the country will be united and our unpreventable losses will include the conservative Supreme Court appointee who will be a right-wing influence for decades to come, but Trumpism will have been erased!
That's my prediction.

- Fraud, (so-called "Trump University", now in the courts, is the most likely.
- Then his myriad of companies, (under control of his daughter who is in the administration), could benefit from deals with Putin. That would be against established US interests and could be packaged as treason.
Whatever the final package will contain will evolve, (and for sure Trump will provide more excuses on his own).
