Be honest. If someone in January 2017 had told you that three years after Donald Trump’s inauguration, he would sign a trade deal with China before a roomful of approving CEOs, watch Congress ratify a rebranded Nafta the next day and head to Davos the following week to hail it all, you would have raised a skeptical eyebrow. That an impeachment trial in the Senate would begin the same day as his Davos address would have seemed more likely.
