    Severe medical events. But I think the most realistic hope is if enough people help replace some MAGA congresspeople in 2026 so they can stonewall the rest of his term.

      He isn’t going through congress or obeying court orders. He’s already replaced all leadership with yes men.

      How could you think normal procedures would work? Even if they did, the democrats have shown they aren’t interested in stopping him.

        He isn’t going through congress or obeying court orders.

        Congress rubber stamped Trump’s cabinet and actively facilitated his budgetary demands. Hell, they passed the Lake Riley Act before he took office. Bureaucrats who put up any kind of resistance have been fired en mass while Congress and the Courts did nothing to object. He’s faced no meaningful resistance.

        He doesn’t need to go through Congress because Congress is bending over backwards to appease him. He doesn’t have to respect the Courts, because the Roberts Court seems intent on clearing his path.

        An opposition legislation/court gives the bureaucracy a foundation on which to refuse compliance. Nobody is offering that.
