28. He won't step aside voluntarily.

He would see that as an acknowledgment of weakness and loss of power. He cannot tolerate that.

The only way to get him out of office while he's alive is to 25th him, and I can't see the current cabinet doing that.

Impeachment is highly unlikely; even if Democrats take the Senate next year, their majority won't be big enough
