Why isn’t Trump being overthrown?

[itsneverdullinull]

I’m sorry if this is a really thick question but I’m guessing that the answers will be multi-faceted.

Why isn’t Trump being overthrown internally in the US? He is presiding over a shit show and trampling over the constitution from what I understand. But there doesn’t seem to be massive resistance to this (or at least none reported). Can anyone explain why this is, please. Genuine question.

There have already been US deaths and injuries - I am very surprised that Trump is not facing a revolt from the populus to whom he made a promise of no wars during the election.

Really not comparable

That was yesterday. Now it has changed to we cannot take care of day care. We are a big country, we are at war. We cannot take care of day care, medicare, medicaid.... it will have to be looked after locally. I need some many extra billions for my list of abroad wars. His budget is the huggest, besttest, biggest ever for War (that not Defence!).
This man has a very very hard neck.
He ascended to power on the back of this promise: American money spent on Americans, not wars abroad. Well, here we are. Not only in Iran, while Cuba is marinating. But he wants a huge defence budget. That he and his buddies will spend on their own companies, of course!

Personally, I'm convinced that there is some Russia/Putin connection that is not yet known - and might have come to light if only the Mueller investigation had probed further.

Trump attacked Iran in the absence of a declaration of war, during negotiations, in the absence of an attack by Iran!

I think he admires dictators that stay in power so long, he aspires to that. As to why isn't he being overthrown, I do think he still has a lot of support in the US, and when any leader is in power they're not that easily deposed.

Watching that extremely weird speech Trump's 'pastor' Paula White gave where she equated the betrayal and arrest of Jesus Christ with Trump's apparent 'betrayal and arrest', and then everyone got up and applauded her whilst Trump grinned like a Cheshire cat, made me think of King Nebuchadnezzar and his court of magicians and sorcerors. That's pretty much who's in charge over there. Do they all actually believe in Trump that much? Or just going along with it because they're too scared not to? These are the things I ruminate on at 1:40 a.m. with a gale blowing outside.

I may be far fetched here, but I
read the headline about the rescued missing airman this morning and thought, oh he invented that story. I think people go missing or die in war all the time, and leaders aren’t often that keen to talk about them. A three day search and a find? I don’t think so. As soon as they started looking for him and Trump discussing it, it was obvious what the outcome would have to be.

I think he admires dictators that stay in power so long, he aspires to that.

He may admire them, but one cannot but hope that some people somewhere in the US actually value democracy - hence the general puzzlement as to why no-one has found a way to give him the boot. Dictators and democracy should not be co-existing in the same nation.

Apparently, according to his "spiritual advisor (god help us!) , he is Jesus Christ - what hope is there?

His deputies aren’t preferable, unfortunately. Their politics are as awful as his.

But there must be a limited number of these people - surely to god there are some sane caring people in US. Please!

Caught a bit of Rory Stewart on radio - he is over there at present at Yale and he said there is a real change of tone - that people are just letting it all wash by them rather than speak out.

You'd think there was someone amongst the US population of c340m who'd make a good president, until you realise that what it takes is someone, anyone who is rich enough.

You have to be monumentally wealthy, that's all it takes, not talent, not intelligence, not strategic thinking, not military prowess, just $$$$$$$$mega bucks.

Depressing.

I know! It is maddening!
Even in UK, in the Manchester elections with Burham. Starmer was saying that it will take at least a million for Burham to campaign. And.. why? Why does it yake so much money? We should use national TV to broadcast the candidates interviews and debates. Social media is rather cheap too. I think, we, the citizens, need to get much more involved. Reclaim what being able to vote means. What can happen if we do not take it seriously enough. And Democracies need to sit and find out a way where the amount of money you throw into a campaign is not the factor that decides who will win. But a system that favours people with principles. At least some principles.

Personally, I think the single best person for the presidency right now is Hillary Clinton - and that's been the case for years.

I noticed Hegseth was “talking Trump” this afternoon, with his “we won “ and “we could take it all “ stupidly. Why can’t they see that people just hear them as children. Even amongst their base, they should poll people on it, especially women.

Did anyone listen to JD Vance answering questions beside a jet with its engines running on the news? I was gobsmacked at his analogy about Iran not being able to do something just because it could. He likened it to his wife being able to jump out of a plane but because he’s told her not to, she doesn’t! Has he no idea how that comes across??

I think he's only concerned about how Trump will take it, and possibly Trump's MAGA supporters who are stupid enough only to want to hear the good news rather than the real news.

I don't regard them as children. I regard them as a menace.
