It won't be one thing that will end his presidency. There is the cumulative effect of his many cruel, insensitive comments. His remarks about the military could be the final straw for some indecisive voters, though it is hard to believe that they couldn't see who he was all along.

His cult-like base is thoroughly brainwashed, however, and being everything negative about Trump is viewed as a conspiracy, they aren't likely to change their minds.
