In reply to the discussion: When Trump is impeached, what if he refuses to leave office? [View all]fescuerescue
(4,448 posts)I'm just an observer and I'm not making a case. I'm asking a question.
When we look at any dictator, king or other evil leader we can ask the same thing, "Why do people follow him"?
Any rational person would have assumed that people would have abandoned Hitler once it became clear he was evil and was doing evil things, yet he remained in power until millions died to remove him.
I think the answer is, because there are follower who think they will be rewarded, or they fear punishment. Take Kim Jung-un for instance. Evil person, hated by millions including certainly his own people. Yet he is flesh and blood and his body is just as fragile as any of ours. Nonetheless he lives and stays in power.
I never thought Trump would be nominated. I never though he would be elected. Yet we know what happened.
To answer your question, I don't think he would get the Joint Chiefs, Dept of Justice and others to answer to him. But my predictions haven't been textbook, and furthermore, they are quite irrelevant, because if they were, he wouldn't be where he is now.
