I honestly hope he isn't removed from power because I think in order for him to be removed from power he would have had to have caused such a huge disaster that a lot of people would probably suffer.

They propped him up like you wouldn't believe and kept it out if the news.

They'll do the same thing for the Talking Yam.

and, of course, he would be a 70+ person in the most stressful job in the world.

But the repukes passing the tax cut for billionaires will relieve some of the stress.

OTOH, Mueller is just getting started... and North Korea is making more noise now.

in life with his BS and insults, crooked deals, etc. He's now on display to the world and his crap isn't working for him. North Korea and Mueller will do him in, he can't bullshit his way out.

Trump's "dementia" or (fear of loosing it all) will only get worse when the tweetstorms fail to bullshit his way outta his own mess, and Mueller closes in.

His followers expect it. They fill it in with whatever meaning they want.

So I'm not sure being even MORE incoherent in public will make a difference.
