1. 25th Amendment needs a rework

If a president, like trump, has a cabinet of sycophants, than the 25 the is worthless

2. Unfortunately

Unfortunately the whole damn system needs to be redone. It’s broken beyond repair IMO. The founders had a great system but they didn’t foresee the Congress bending at the knee for the President. They didn’t foresee the courts becoming politically motivated, the cabinet becoming a bunch of lackeys and the media that is nothing but propaganda. So many problems that Trump is utilizing and will only go away as long as Presidents choose to be humble and not exploit them.

5. They also didn't foresee the entire system being under the thumb of......

high-wealth individuals and special interests. That, I propose is the heart of the problem. If it were not for massive financial support from the ultra-wealthy (Koch, Adelson, Murdoch, et al) the Republican party would be relegated to the margins of history.

Raw human lust for power and assets and an abundant supply of psychopaths for making into politicians helps as well.

Primarily due to the massive imbalance of asset and power distribution around the globe between the few and the many, I'm very prone to agree with your conclusions in the long haul. This complex system has been built to prevent reversing the imbalance.

3. The 25th Amendment is for a POTUS with diminished judgement.

Not necessarily a plain old evil one.

4. Do you seriously think any of the happy grifters in his Cabinet would be inclined to invoke it?

Not gonna happen, sorry.

6. Nope

He is the embodiment of what 99% of republicans believe in and have been waiting for 40 years to come to pass. They are certainly not going to slam on the brakes. The reason they do not speak out against him is because they are not against him.

7. Holy shit people I express my frustration about having Trump around for even 6 more months...

...and most of the responses I get are steeped in condescending know-it-all-ism. Nobody can predict the future. Shit can happen.
