worse as his mental illness progresses.

There's going to come a time (probably sooner rather than later) when he will become so insane that he will be a clear and obvious existential threat to Americans and others in the world.

At that point the only options will be impeachment and removal from office, or the invoking of the 25th amendment.

The problem with either solution is that the support of Republican politicians will be required.

So the questions is: when he starts driving the country and the world off the cliff in a way that is apparent to all but the die hard cultists; will enough Republicans support his removal from office, or just watch the car go off the cliff?

20 years ago I would have had no doubt the Repubs would put the brakes on this. Now I'm not so sure.

It's gonna get scary folks.
