Why is trump still president while we're in so much danger?

EVERYONE KNOWS trump is unqualified, unfit, and too ignorant and self centered to get us through this crisis. But yet, he's still there. Even after he admits, every single day, that he shouldn't be held responsible for *anything* that happens.

We can't afford to wait until November. He needs to be removed and replaced NOW before the death toll hits the millions.

But how, you may ask?

It starts with the "fourth estate" pulling back to look at the big picture: trump says stupid shit everyday, but the bigger issue is that we are in grave danger as long as trump is in office.

Mitch and Pence have the power to do something but they have chosen not to. Millions of people may die as a result.

News organizations need to pull back from trump and his ridiculous pressers and start hounding Mitch and Pence, every single day. Ask them when they will either invoke the 25th Amendment or agree to a streamlined impeachment process.

After having a petition, they have a Recall Election. Why not have one of those for a president?

8. McConnell and the rest the Republican leadership know that Trump is a maniac

Therefore you have to ask why they keep him in power.

It is my theory that McConnell, and the people he represents, keep Trump as a distraction, to keep our eyes off of the really important jobs going on behind the scenes. The more outrageous Trump's behavior, the more deaths we attribute to him, the better the distraction. Trump completely dominates the news cycle. Without him to focus our energy on we may be raving about the stacking of the courts and other important issues that are to the detriment of a Representative Democracy. The Fascist really do not mind how many people that they sacrifice in the process because they really don't give a damn how many people die and the end justify the means. These people have no respect for the law, no ethics, no morals and the only two things that matter to them are money and the power it buys.

I believe that the leaders of the Republican party do not fear the coming elections because they know something that we don't.

There will probably come a day when the Republicans offer up Trump as a sacrifice. It will be a new distraction that will keep us entertained while the real work continues.

The people behind the power of the Republican leadership are evil to the core.
