These two programs are too close to reality.

Homeland has Russian interference, rural groups who look at the government and the president as the enemy and are ready to kill FBI agents.

occurred on November 8, 2016.
Removal of a president via the 25th Amendment makes for great political drama but in the case of Trump it is a fantasy of the Left and we are too often more than willing to glom onto anything that will remove Trump from being president. I'm surprised I haven't read of the possibility of Trump being sucked into a parallel dimension but hey, maybe this is the parallel dimension.
Trump picks his cabinet and those around him based upon their loyalty to him and keeps them in line with the anxiety that they could lose their jobs at any moment. The 25th Amendment is not going to be used to remove Trump any more than Bush and Cheney were ever going to be frog-marched to The Hague. On the Left, we could have personally done more, each one of us, by voting for Clinton on November 8, 2016 because it was the last thing we could do that was within our power.
