In perfect health and at the prime of his physical and mental capacity, he's a supreme asshole. Any symptoms of illness, craziness, or deterioration make all of it worse.

Trump's got no problem with vacancies and acting cabinet-level officials. So if there were ever the possibility of a 25th Amendment solution (won't hold my breath here), I'm not entirely sure acting secretaries have the Constitutional authority to remove an asshole of this magnitude.
