In reply to the discussion: How long until Trump is removed from office by his own party? [View all]

If Republicans were capable of admitting they were wrong, we wouldn't have seen their Presidential candidates, since the resignation of the odious Richard Nixon, slide inexorably downward ever since. In 1980, for example, they might have supported John Anderson instead of horoscope/senility boy Ronald Reagan. Bush Sr. at least seemed to know what he was doing, and had a notable record in public service before being tractor-beamed into Reagan's orbit. But even he couldn't overcome the damage done by Reagan's idiotic trickle-down barf-bag economic plan. George W. Bush is the most disastrous nepo baby story in the history of the Presidency. And the less said about Trump, the better.
The Republicans will never remove him from office. It may take a 2nd Amendment solution to do that.

I don't think many voted for him to crash the stock market, cause a recession, and cause rumaway inflation.

Not until their constituents are hurting so bad that they come after them with torches and pitchforks.

That may not take long. Trump's reputation as good for the economy (with MAGA) will be in tatters.

They could have massive losses. GOP lawmakers could be at war--hardline MAGA against those who want to win elections.

It will be shortly after the GOP has implant surgery for their ever-shrinking Johnson condition.

Take in the scale of what Trump has done and the direct impact it will have on most Americans. This is unprecedented.

Yes, it will take time. This is the beginning, but it can only get worse from here as the impact of tariffs deepens.
