"This will finally bring Trump down!"

I really hate these type of post taglines that often appear on DU, mostly from podcasts. If I started listing all the things that Trump has done that should "bring him down" I would be writing until September.

With a political party that no longer believes in the Constitution and will cover his ass no matter he does, a corporate media that doesn't even try to hide it's bias for Trump and the right, and a Suprme Court that literally made up "presidential immunity" just for Trump, who really believes anything will bring him down?

The only thing that will end this nightmare is his poor health.

1. The Grim Reaper is the only one that can bring him down

And he will

[Scrivener7]

4. I slightly disagree. There are plenty who CAN take him down

And they've had plenty of opportunities. They just won't. And now every one of them bears responsibility for this teeming dung pile we have become.

[Walleye]

7. Except that, even if we defeat him politically, he will not go away, we've seen that

[Scrivener7]

8. I'd sure prefer that though.

[Blumancru]

12. He barely functions now. I think he will be term limited

by filet of fish, fries, tartar sauce, etc.
The Repukes don’t do so well when he is not on the ballot, and he won’t be on it ever again except symbolically. That is a big reason they are acting to limit who can vote. A personality cult that loses its leader is greatly diminished.
I know we have heard “this should end him” for the last ten years, but father time is undefeated.

27. That's why . ..

there can be none of this "let's look forward, not backward" or "the nation needs to heal" stuff if we win. There must be accountability for this rampant corruption and the connections with Putin and Epstein need to be FULLY revealed. I really liked Biden, but I think he overestimated the strength of the guard rails of this country, especially the media, and counted on his decency and normalcy to win the day. We saw how a corrupt media thirsty for clicks and approvals for mergers treated him.

10. Well what's taking Mr. Reaper so long?

DO YOUR FUCKING JOB !

[GreatGazoo]

2. Majority in both houses seems likely to lead to impeachment, no?

I hear you on the clickbait thing but if Trump believes he will be impeached early next year then so do I.

[BlueTsunami2018]

3. What would be the point?

He’s not being convicted, it would just be performative.

What the Democrats should do is pass a shitload of progressive legislation with real teeth and let the pukes filibuster it or have Piss veto it if it somehow miraculously got through the senate. And then run on those things in ‘28.

They won’t but they should.

[Scrivener7]

5. Do both. Make them say outright, "Yep, this is fine with us."

[bearsfootball516]

6. It takes 67 votes in the Senate for removal though.

Not saying they shouldn't impeach him in the House, they should. But ultimately, it won't result in anything since there aren't 67 votes in the Senate.

[Blumancru]

13. It takes a 2/3 majority in the senate to remove him.

And that isn’t going to happen. And then the country would have Lord Davenport in charge anyway.

[relogic]

9. "The only thing that will end this nightmare is his poor health".

There’s a problem we’ve had through the history of tyrants. Once removed, the people, party, laws, courts, etc. that placed and maintained the existence of such despots still remain to begin the process in a predictable cycle.

Reading your second paragraph says this also. It seems our nightmares end in spurts and gushes. Counting nightmares like TSF that seem to not end our misery after they’re gone has consumed too many precious years.

[AverageOldGuy]

11. Agreed

I simply ignore EVERY SINGLE VIDEO that is posted here. A waste of bandwidth and my time.

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. "The only thing that will end this nightmare is his poor health."

And, there is why we are still in this nightmare.

The programming is still working just as intended.

There are plenty of ways to end this crap. The powers that be just don't want to.

Truly 'bringing him down' will entail bringing a lot of things 'down'. And, those who profit from their position are not going to do that. From either side of the aisle.

So...

[DownriverDem]

20. Yes but

the repubs in the House and Senate are to blame. During Watergate the repubs told Nixon he had to go. They were much more independent then.

[mwmisses4289]

15. If i had a million dollars for every one of those

trump panics or this will bring trump down or trump cornored i would be richer than musk and midas combined.

[Harker]

16. There must be a Trumpsky mould.

That's how he regains his shape after each new "complete meltdown."

[dalton99a]

17. Trump Is Destroyed By Devastating Revelations

rinse and repeat

[superpatriotman]

18. We've got him now!

It’s Copemaxxing.

[DownriverDem]

19. Thursday Speech

is going to be about the voting machines and how he really won the 2020 election. I never watch him so I'll wait for what others think.

[FakeNoose]

21. It's just more of his lies and blah-blah-blah

Haven't we already heard enough of that for a lifetime?

[mdbl]

22. I am tired of those stupid headlines too

There are too many weird-ass Magats in this country coupled with the fact that Dump doesn't give two shits about anything anyone says as long as he's still in a position to rip off the US population.

[Dave Bowman]

23. Yeah, these types of headlines and other click-baits are damn annoying.

[Jarqui]

24. "The only thing that will end this nightmare is his poor health."

That is Fool's Gold

You are going to be very disappointed - like many other Americans.
Sure, there will be dancing in the streets, etc.

Trump's death doesn't end the nightmare.

Trump remains as President, doing as he does, because his political party and the oligarchs who control it and the media enable him to do so.
They could impeach him and end this in very short order.
But they won't.
They'll install another puppet to do their bidding.

That is the real problem. It has been all along.
It will continue to be a big problem long after Trump kicks off.

[dalton99a]

29. Probabilities are high that Trump will be breathing and running his mouth in 2029

He is getting the absolute best medical care in the world.

[Jarqui]

31. "nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Benjamin Franklin 1789

Have to hand it to Trump: he's made the taxes part uncertain for himself personally.

He is a cardiovascular event waiting to happen.
However, he very crudely has about a 50% generic chance of surviving 5 years with his swollen ankles (symptom of heart failure) and that is with average care. He's getting top notch care so his chances are better than that.
They have an ambulance, defibrillator, blood supply, medical people, etc on standby wherever he goes.

The bigger challenge for him might be his brain - either through a stroke or trying to campaign with dementia

[Magoo48]

25. Or, our nation's citizens deciding they will be an inconvenience enough to do what is necessary..

Winning in November is exceedingly important, but it won’t be enough. At some point, we will be required to do as Mario Savio suggested way back when and, metaphorically of course, throw ourselves on the cogs of the machine so it ceases running.

[Blue Owl]

28. Teflon Don is made of forever chemicals that will never go away

The PFAs are short for Petty Fucking Asshole

[dem4decades]

30. I agree with you, it's bait and switch. I hate it too.

[WorseDayEver]

32. or other things

metal, carbon or plastic
