I think this is one that will go in your favor.  Trump loves keeping his promises and touting them.  He wants to drain the swamp big time and be acknowledged for saving the country. The fact that your wife understands the real place political beliefs hold in most normal people's world is wonderful.  Over time, as evidence comes out, help your wife understand what happened and don't gloat.  This is a very unique time in our country and Earth's history.  Good or bad, right or wrong, Trump is in a very special place at a very special time.  Those of us awoke enough to understand we all share love for this country and want the best for our children and future generations. We have a bond. It used to be Democrats were loyal to the country and constitution but just saw things differently than Republicans.  NOW? I cannot say that Democrats can be considered Patriots.  A lot has changed on the left, but the right is anchored in the values that made our country great and the envoy of the world.  Hopefully your wife and you can agree that you love God the U.S.  With that at the core, it should reach well beyond everything else.
