Letter Published in The National UAE on 20 June 18 If US President takes care of his base he’ll serve two terms    I write in reference to Gavin Esler’s op-ed Voters will judge Trump on the economy, not on his moral or constitutional values (June 19): Mr Esler’s point that any national leader who is perceived to be taking care of his or her core voters may be immune to accusations surrounding his or her moral infringements is a very valid one. As such, it is very possible that US President Donald Trump’s immoral words and deeds will not affect his ability to return to office in 2020. A successful economy is very important and should make people happy and if they are, particularly the middle class, I see no reason why the leader in question should not be given a second chance.K Ragavan, Denver
