Why isn’t Trump being overthrown?

Ditto I'll have a party!

No it wouldn't. UK democracy only those in his constituency voted for Johnson - the rest just voted for the party.

He’s doing sweet F.A. For the average American , health care premiums have increased substantially, food prices have hugely increased also but hey ho they have cheap gas …the No Kings march was a joke , considering the population only a tiny minority marched, a few years so in Paris more people marched and rioted because of the possibility of longer working hours and shorter lunch breaks ! Hands up to the French they know how to make a point. Europe holds most of the bonds for American banks , if they withdrew them , it would cripple the American economy over night . This is what needs to be done .

Unlikely imho.

It's dangerous rhetoric but I don't think he would be able to pull it off. The national backlash would be huge. The democrats have been developing a strategy to deal with any attempts to do this, so they're not going to be caught out without a plan. It's already been talked about in the media what steps they will take to counter this.

Trump's biggest fear is postal voting because it's how he lost the 2020 election.

A recent bill passed through Congress by Republicans to tighten ID requirements for voting did not include any amendments to postal voting, much to Trump's annoyance. So it shows the Republican support is not as strong as it may be portrayed in the right wing press.

I would suggest there is no long term appetite in the Republican party to carry the label of ending democracy in the US. Many of the current Republicans are not running again due to the toxic situation and a lot are now starting to look at their post Trump careers. They do not want to jeopardize that and end up in court after he's gone. Look at what happens to those close to him.

I think politically he is becoming more of a lame duck by the day and a liability to the Republican party. Which is exactly why the situation in Texas is a bell weather for that shift in attitude towards him..

A small sample size of one, but I have a Texan friend who says the tide is turning with even his previously strong supporters.

She noted the impact of him attacking Iran which is against his election pledge, and also his links to Epstein. She mentioned that it feels he is unstable. The ICE issue has started to raise questions. Lastly she commented that the way the British have acted to make arrests following Epstein throws the US approach into a very bad light which is tracked back to Trump.

She’s in a staunchly red area and says it’s turning even there.

That makes zero sense.

I have been reading about Texas turning.

Christ on a bike if Trump is impeached I will crack open the bottle of champagne which has been sat in my fridge for yonks.

Wouldn’t it be great?!

Perhaps he is being allowed to remain in place because people are even more frightened of J D Vance stepping in to replace him?

Or perhaps people are just in denial because the reality of what they've done by electing Trump is just too awful to contemplate?

When you really look at the detail of what is going on in the US right now, it's utterly terrifying - the war on Iran is just the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps it's just easier to close your eyes and put your fingers in your ears and pretend that it isn't happening?

On that basis the Conservatives under May should have served out the full term.

No he wouldn’t because Johnson was elected only by his constituents.

If the UK worked on the basis that we have to respect democracy come what may, Johnson would have remained in power. Thank goodness we have a system that ultimately prevented that.

The senate and the house would need to impeach him and currently the Republicans control both so it wouldn't happen. Very few Republican politicians would vote to impeach him, I assume for fear of harming their own futures.

Why isn't Trump being overthrown?

1. Lots of people presumably like him as president.
2. The US is a democratic country that has a political system which has to follow due process by law. You can't just easily oust someone from power.
3. The Democrats are not a strong united party and so aren't in a fit state to challenge Trump. I hope they ditch identity politics and get their act together soon though.

The direct answer to your question is, OP, is that Trump is serving the interests of the very rich people around him. His handlers.

He serves their purpose

This is the worry because Trump’s character traits seem so extreme that he may be completely unable to accept losing face in any way, which makes someone like him even more unpredictable. I don’t really have a sense of whether he will get away declaring martial law or the equivalent to stop the mid terms from going ahead.

I’m not the poster this question was directed towards who may have a better understanding of the likelihood of this.

In your opinion! Plenty of business owners who would happily see him overthrown without even asking employees.

Because more people in America approve of his ways than don’t, which is why he is where he is.

Are you supporting assassination?

Democracy is accepting what people vote for.

He has trampled over the constitution several times, most recently by going to war without the agreement of congress.

There does not seem to be a method of removing a president they have lost faith in as we saw with Biden at the end.

There is a method of removing a prime minister in the UK as we have seen happen in recent years.

He’s democratically elected.

and why do you think it is not ?

Thanks for this post.

There is so much talk about the mid-terms being cancelled. What do you think about the probability of this?

Because he's the face of the NWO now that theyre comfortable taking the mask off. Being comfortable with all of the past monstrisities because of the pretty lies and bs they sold us to go along with it all is what led directly to this. In a nutshell, "oh no! Now its affecting me!!"

Did you type this laughing? Another serious post from you @Viviennemary NOT 🙄

Oh me too. I'm a natural conservative, small c, currently homeless as I just can't see a party I can vote for at the moment.

I have no love for Starmer or anything much that he's done except for keeping us out of the Iran attack, but to compare him or our political situation with the madman in the Whitehouse is ridiculous.
