Why isn’t Trump being overthrown?

Keep your eyes on Texas. That will be the tipping point. It looks like the reddest of red states is turning blue, which means the Senate is now in play.

A year ago it was almost certain that the republicans would retain the senate but that has completely flipped and the odds of them winning have fallen through the floor (from somewhere like 81% certainty to 56% in less than a year, and that number is steadily dropping). If Talarico can win in Texas then really the floodgates will open for the democrats and it's then on them to push the momentum. Trump has lost huge sections of the MAGA base who are turning against him, so his support is cracking. Interestingly, his endorsement of candidates is now seen as toxic by voters so he doesn't have the influence he once had.

If democrats take the House and the Senate then Trump will be impeached and could be convicted. At the very least, it will neutralises his actions considerably as they can take away funding, support and tie him up in investigations for the rest of his term.He can veto legislation but it effectively produces a stalemate position which will contain his craziness until the next presidential election. Though, physically I'm not convinced he'll make it to then as he is clearly very unwell.

The mid terms in November will be the moment things change dramatically. The US people want their country back..

I think the current situation has exposed some gaping holes in the US constitution.

Their beloved “checks and balances” have failed.

They have no leader of the opposition to focus the resistance.

Rather like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expected the country to elect a psychopath.

People will vote, the mid terms are next.

I find it amazing he is still there too. I think the answer is because

1. he’s got all his mates and any opportunistic grifter up there with him
2. I think he’s threatening peoples families etc as I just can’t see how kristi noem or pat bondi et al. Would freely be so disgusting.
3. they seem to hate radical Islam but they’re radical Christian’s and gun cultists. They’re fucking mental

Because like in many countries international actions do not impact view of leaders as much as domestic ones, the American economy grew last year, most people vote or consider their own personal situation far more than the bigger picture so if they and their family are doing ok they will be happy with current leadership even though they may not like Trump.. just like many don't like Starmer but think Farage would be worse. So you can not like Trump but still think he is better than the alternative. We only hear about major USA stuff that hits headlines not what is happening in ordinary towns in USA what we hear about USA is unlikely to be the lived reality for millions of Americans

Because a lot of Americans think he's great. They like the idea that the US is "kicking ass".
They have so little exposure to the world outside their own borders they don't know what they are talking about, and their education on world politics is almost zero.

Just think about Trump's idiotic statement that the war has already been won. Iran won't roll over no matter what Trump wants. He's just an ignorant bully. The repercussions of this war will echo around the region for decades, causing new terrorist factions, which will all need addressing.

The US constitution has no mechanism to remove him. They have the 25th amendment but only one section applies, and it has never been used.

From the web:

"Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."

The US congress can't hold a vote of no confidence as the UK Parliament can.

He worked hard to surround himself with people who agree with him.

Hardly the same level. You may not like Starmer but he hasn’t started a war in the Middle East.

Because he is the democratically elected president. Who would forcefully remove him? The armed forces? He is their supreme commander. The Democrats? That would be saying they don’t believe democracy works.
Whilst many people might hate what he is doing to his country and to the world, he is not doing anything illegal according to the laws of his country.

it does show the president in the US has too much power and the house and senate are paper tigers.

I think resistance is growing. Have you not read about Minnesota? Or the No Kings marches? And a few decent republicans speaking out?

Comparing it to people being unhappy with Keir Starmer is ridiculous.

KS like RS and even LT before him are, useless or not, politicians.

Trump is purely a psychopathic businessman doing the grubbiest deal of his life with the world as his bargaining chips.

Also, the Democrats are just not a cohesive force. I know it's a different system but there is no apparent leadership/ alternative that people can rally around. As seen in Iran, if you want regime change you have to have that alternative primed and waiting.

It's about far more than Iran.

On a purely symbolic level, have you seen what he's done to the Whitehouse?

ICE?

Tariffs?

Greenland?

Etc, etc.

There is no valid comparison whatsover between the two, imo.

Well a lot of people will approve of what he's doing and a lot more will be ambivalent because all this stuff is happening far away and to a widely disliked regime. Also, the US is relatively well insulated from the inevitable fall out.

I'm not sure if he's trampling over the constitution so much as over international law, which a lot of people (not just Trump supporters to be fair) see as increasingly unworkable in the current geopolitical climate.

His supporters like guns?

Plenty of people would like to get rid of Starmer but that’s not happening either.
