12. Actually, as a matter of perspective, the virus is going to vanquish Trump.

It pains me to say it but, even with all the illegal/immoral things he has done, it is likely Trump would win re-election without the pandemic.

There are just too many die-hard deplorables, and so many seemingly non-deplorables who were supporting him.

Biden is running away with it now, but it's largely due to the Trump campaign's death spiral implosion over the virus.

13. By vanquish I meant death, not defeat in an election

As it seems likely, he will lose on Nov 3rd.

But if he is still alive, he can run again in 2024.
Constitutionally he can be president for 2 terms.
And even if he does not run in 2024, I will have to see his mug on TV news.

I just want him to catch covid again and die from it.

14. The word does mean "defeat." It does not directly imply "kill."

I'm confident he won't. He is declining rapidly due to age, and burning out on uppers and steroids.

He'll have so many legal entanglements as soon as he loses this election.

The people who will voted him out now (a majority) will not support him in a subsequent run.

> I just want him to catch covid again and die from it.

It's just weird that karma determined that he deserved to catch the virus, but then to not suffer ill effects from it.

I don't blame people who think he faked the whole thing as a PR stunt.

15. Agreed. Trump would be on the way to another term if not for COVID. It's surreal to realize

that, even to those of us who've been saying that a total disaster has to occur before enough people would refuse to vote for him. It's frightening to see a full-blown cult develop like this.

that the more he is under siege, the darker his makeup becomes. I think it is some kind of mask that he hides behind when he is feeling more threatened than usual.

To hurt us, his supporters , and this country for revenge. When he doesn't get his way he always does that to others. He'll claim he's the victim, then start claiming he's very ill to play upon others to not come after him criminally.

16. He's always been a sick bastard. There will always be more sick bastards.

The question is: what can legally be done to recall/remove them once they are in office and their serious defects display themselves?

It's obvious that the 25th Amendment is totally useless.
