25. Some DUers have been predicting Trump's imminent demise for years.
Thu Nov 7, 2024, 08:28 AM
Nov 2024

I would think that at some point folks would stop underestimating Trump. Indeed, there were posts here over the past couple of weeks proclaiming that Trump wouldn't be physically able to participate in any more rallies during the final days of the campaign. How did those predictions turn out?

Of course, at some point predictions of Trump's demise will be turn out to be right. I just wouldn't hold my breath.

And for the record, even if Trump's hand-picked cabinet turned on him and invoked the 25th amendment, he would resist in every way possible and I have serious doubts that the repubs in Congress, facing re-election in two years, would vote to remove him as would be necessary.
