21. You make some salient points

However, it's always good to have some insurance if possible. So the opposition needs to make it as difficult as possible for him. Every action should be challenged. (maybe except for not producing any more pennies)

I always find it difficult to imagine why anyone (or at least so many) supported him in the elections of 2016, 2020 and 2024. It was a fluke that he was first elected in 2016, losing by 2.8 million popular votes. Obviously, other things happened, including the action for which he was later convicted of 34 felony counts. He made such a huge point out of Hilary Clinton's emails and yet he has been by far the worst President in terms of sharing classified information and appointing officials who also are far too generous in this area. (Hegseth, especially at this time)

Plus, he appointed the richest, yet worst qualified Cabinet in history, whose main (qualification?) seems to be excessive loyalty to the Retaliator-in-Chief. And on and on we go.
