There comes a time when you have to take away the keys from grandpa.

Trump has reached that time. If we don't take the keys away he will continue to crash the car and kill people.

It is clear Trumps grasp of reality is getting worse by the day.

1. Not necessarily in all situations.

My father was in his 90s and regularly getting into fender benders. My siblings and I discussed taking away his keys but decided against it b/c he would only go out and buy a new car. Status quo.

2. Yikes!

11. off topic but...

I called the car dealers in town (really!!) and told them if they sold my dad a car I would take them to court (or something like that) not a time to throw up hands and resign ourselves to disaster

14. Theme and variation on your tale

Same Dad. I expressly told him he wasn't going to drive to NYC for same-day surgery to have one of two cataracts removed. I would do the driving.

He snuck out while I was in the can.

He knew that his surgeon advised to have a driver or a taxi or whatever to drive him home after the surgery.

I immediately called the surgeon's office (it was in the morning) and introduced myself as the daughter of their surgical patient and he had intentions of driving back to NJ from Midtown Manhattan mid-day mid-week after they released him. And I am/was an attorney. If they didn't cancel surgery or hire a car for him pre-surgery and he injured or killed a driver and/or pedestrian with less than 50% of his eyesight post-operatively, I would contact the plaintiff's attorney and give the name and address and phone # of this surgeon as a co-defendant for allowing my father to drive home under these conditions.

Result: Dad had the surgery and drove home with no accidents.

3. How do we take the keys away?

Beyond voting him out in November. Great idea, but let’s hear some specifics.

4. A national movement calling for his resignation is a good idea.

5. How do we get that started?

[shockey80]

7. People in power, organizations, people with know how, have to get it started.

12. !!!!!!

8. Won't happen until Rush AND Sean call for him to resign.

Sorry to be so cynical, but remember when Johnson said that he lost Middle America when he lost Walter Cronkite?

9. You don't need to apologize

I don’t buy these simple solutions either.

6. The elephant in his car is happy to drive from the back seat. . . . nt

10. The way he could leave and keep some fake dignity

is to fake a heart attack. Then resign due to poor health.

13. That's why he wants to open up...

He's running out of farmers markets to drive through
