President Donald Trump is on the brink of being abandoned by his own followers, as the very type of person he elevated in politics will not stick around to get his "stink" on them as he goes down, Jesse Edwards, director of Newsweek Voices and Radio, wrote in an analysis published on Tuesday.

"That distinction matters because what’s coming next for him has very little to do with Democrats, policy, or ideology. Trump is going to be taken down by his own people first because that is how this always ends for men like him."
