I think it's up in the air until the Mueller Report is made public.
And he's probably gonna get primary-ed by someone of stature if Donnie decides he wants to stick it out another term. Modern sitting POTUSes who get primary-ed lose the general or pull out of the race early. Bush 41, Carter, LBJ.
I wouldn't count on the Mueller investigation, at all. If he gets primaried, it'll probably be by fucking Flake, so I can say with 90% confidence he is the GOP candidate in 2020, barring any unforeseen events (IE a scandal that actually sticks, etc etc).
What I am more optimistic about is his chances in 2020. Trump's ceiling in 2016 proved to be less than half the country, and while that number has dwindled by only a small amount, it's still enough to change the game in 2020. Whether or not his numbers continue to slowly dwindle (or just stagnate with small fluxes), well that can't be said with certainty.
