Remember, Trump is a "Lame Duck"

[Cattledog]

He now has to govern and that's something he can't really do. He's a showman and will probably do some serious damage to
the country and institutions but he's a relic and probably won't even last 4 years.

[valleyrogue]

1. He might not last four weeks. I fully expect him to be removed via the 25th Amendment.

This Trump candidacy is nothing but bait and switch.

[rsdsharp]

7. Please, read section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

It is more difficult to remove a President who is reluctant to leave office through the 25th Amendment than it is through impeachment. And in four tries, impeachment has never been able to remove a President from office.

[valleyrogue]

8. There is always a first time, and if there is anything about Trump that is evident,

he is an individual for the record books.

[rsdsharp]

9. Do you really think he'll just go willingly? Or will it take a 2/3rds vote of both houses of Congress?

Likely a Republican controlled Congress.

[DeepWinter]

26. I give it a 0% chance. And that's generous.

[GoodRaisin]

13. There are always other ways.

[rsdsharp]

24. What would those be?

[GoodRaisin]

34. Let's just say I don't believe that their agenda is

for Trump to finish a 4 year term.

[rsdsharp]

37. Come on. Show some guts and say what you mean.

[GenThePerservering]

38. I'm assuming

He will suddenly have an 'illness' and Couchfucker will take over 'in the interim'. Please pray for the greatest president we have ever had and send money to TRUMP 911.

[GoodRaisin]

39. Ha! What more need I say that requires "guts"?

[rsdsharp]

40. Damned if I know, but there must be some reason you won't spell out the "other ways."

[GoodRaisin]

41. Oh, I don't think you're that naive.

[rsdsharp]

43. I'm not naive. I think I know what you're suggesting, and why you don't have the courage to spell it out.

[GoodRaisin]

44. See reply #39. Should be sufficient for most any

reasonable person. I’m not worried about my courage. You needn’t be either.

[LisaL]

49. Because a congress and senate majorities are needed to actually remove president from office.

Otherwise it won't go anywhere.

[rsdsharp]

55. Not simple majorities. Two-thirds majorities of both houses.

[FBaggins]

17. 25A requires a majority of the cabinet

He’s about to select that cabinet

And, of course, they probably won’t be in place in the first four weeks

[Omnipresent]

27. They can all look forward to being fired at some point soon too.

[bdamomma]

18. They will

install Vance if they get their chance. This is their plan, but they will cause much damage.

But this could have avoided if those who did not vote had. Remember Project 2025 they WILL implement it.

[TwilightZone]

2. "He now has to govern "

He didn't bother in his first term. Why would he have to now?

He's not a lame duck. I find it odd that people seem to think he is. He's not about to go anywhere unless he dies. it's cute that everyone thinks that Vance will be able to convince Trump's hand-picked cabinet to cut him loose.

[travelingthrulife]

6. I am guessing they will just kill him rather than 25th amendment

he is no longer of value to Putin or the other oligarchs.
of course they will blame the assassination on Democrats.

[MiniMe]

11. Remember he said that if you vote for him this time, you'll never have to vote again

[GoodRaisin]

14. He's shining his golf clubs.

He’ll leave them a rubber stamp.

[nini]

33. Hell difn e executive orders. Congress wiil govern

And tear up everything they can that an exec order can't. We're in some deep deep shit here.

[Skittles]

3. um HELLO that was the plan

to turn it over to JD FUCKING VANCE

[yourout]

4. As soon as the ink is dry on his pardon he will be put out the pasture.

Junior will be placed high enough to make sure the gravy train of grift keeps coming in.

[tenderfoot]

5. Vance is a million times worse than Trump and he's got the house and senate

careful what you wish for.

[SoCalDavidS]

10. It's Cute

How insanely horrible and corrupt TFG is, but we're supposed to look on the bright side that JD is not the president.

[JI7]

20. How is he worse ?

[valleyrogue]

23. He is one of the ones the Christofascists want but my money would be on Mike Johnson.

Vance is Catholic, while Johnson is a Protestant Christian reconstructionist.

[BannonsLiver]

12. I think his health may preclude another run

But is a piece of paper with 22 at the top going to keep him from running again if he wants to? Explain what the mechanism would be to stop him? Who would stop him? This SCOTUS? The military? If there’s no teeth behind it it’s just a piece of paper.

[GoYouPackersGo]

28. Trump will run again.

Who will stop him? Congress? The Supreme Court?

[duncang]

15. If he makes it through 4 years.

He’s already signaled what he wants to do by saying he shouldn’t have left the WH the first time.

[Trueblue1968]

16. Remember, Trump is a fuck headed orange dick faced anus mouth riddled with herpes

[valleyrogue]

22. He is the US version of Uganda's Idi Amin. n/t

[Dem4life1234]

30. And not as jolly nor with charisma

[Blue_Roses]

19. Trump's health is not good

He missed the handle of the garbage truck and in the process nearly fell. His left side, especially his leg, looked weak. I thing they are hiding just how bad his mental and physical health is. I just don't see him making it the full 4 years. He's almost 80 and half the time he doesn't know where he's at.

[LisaL]

48. Very true.

But one can last a long time with a very poor health, especially if one is getting good medical care.

[valleyrogue]

21. Another possible scenario is he resigns shortly after taking office in return for a pardon.

That's assuming he still has unresolved legal issues.

[mobeau69]

54. He will pardon himself.

[milestogo]

25. I think you mean "Trump is a Limp Dick".

He can't really do anything with women so he takes away their rights and abuses them.

[CrispyQ]

29. Governing hasn't been the GOP agenda since Nixon. -nt

[GoCubsGo]

31. Yup, and that includes Trump's previous term.

It was a royal fuck-up. Republicans don't care about governing. They only care about finding ways to enrich themselves, both in money and in power.

[C_U_L8R]

32. Or.. he has 4 years to do whatever the fcuk he wants.

A megalomaniacal repeat-offender unleashed, with the very worst intentions.
He's gonna be like Don Jr with a pile of cocaine and some hookers on a Saturday night in Vegas.

[Emile]

35. Supposedly

[WarGamer]

36. IMHO, he's a TWO YEAR lame duck

After the 2026 mid-term, he'll resign and make Vance POTUS.

[Polybius]

42. 2028 is gonna be fun

Who will run on their side and ours?

[Blue Full Moon]

46. Vance vs No one

[Blue Full Moon]

45. They just used him to install Vance.

Vance would have never got elected on his own.

[LisaL]

47. I don't think Trump is planning on leaving.

He said as much.

[totodeinhere]

50. Please don't start this again.

After he won the 2016 election I was reading at DU that he wouldn't last 4 years but of course he did. The only way he won't last 4 years this time is if he dies.

[Irish_Dem]

51. Which means he is even more dangerous.

[Lovie777]

52. Great depression 1929 -1939.........................

this is where we are headed. His voters will suffer along with us.

[Vogon_Glory]

53. Great Depression without the New Deal

Billionaires and right-wing ideologues oppose spending money to benefit the masses.
