(17,305 posts)7. Trump is in the position
As long as the Senate remains firm in their support there is nothing that can stop Trump. There is no sign that the Senators are about to crack. Even if his actions were clearly unconstitutional he could drag out an extension of power indefinitely. There is nowhere Trump won't be willing to go to remain in power. He is as insane as Hitler was at the end.
