Each time his physical appearance shows something different than what his doctors tell us!
How can that not be fraud at the highest level? Telling us his brain is normal?
But Biden was to be sick demented president? Astonishing to even consider that Trump is healthy enough to finish out his term as he becomes the dumbest president in history!
Trump cant even stay awake in important moments that needs his full attention. Never mind that he has been slurring his words for better than ten years now and he cant comprehend what he is actually saying, doing or knows!
In my book! That is FRAUD!

(23,914 posts)crickets from our paid RW media on shithole who in my opinion is the worse president in my life time.
shithole's mental and physical health is deteriorating before our eyes, he fucking the economy of the USA, and he and his comrades are spewing constant hatred, and the WH and D.C. looks like trash.
And the list goes on.

(2,006 posts)Amazing how healthy he is now when he was too unhealthy to serve in the military during the Vietnam War.

(10,418 posts)so they don't care. I really don't either. That POS can lie and BS all of us but it won't work with that 80 year old body. It will kill him when it wants to no matter how much BS he spews.

(151,681 posts)The only realistic way a President can be removed from office is through impeachment and conviction by Congress. That is not going to happen, so all we can do is keep bringing it up.

(2,000 posts)resigned at the instruction of the GOP. Leaving his V.P. Gerald Ford to replace him. I believe the Speaker of the House was a Democrat who would have moved up to become POTUS if Nixon had been impeached, which would have also removed Ford as V.P.

(151,681 posts)would have been convicted had he been impeached.
Clearly, there is zero chance that 67 Senators would vote to convict Trump. It has been tried twice and failed each time.
The 25th amendment is also not a possibility, because it depends on the VP and the cabinet to act. Obviously, that will not occur.
I'm sorry to have to say those things, but we have to look at the situation realistically and not waste our time in hoping for something that cannot occur. Instead, we need to be banding together to ensure Congress has a new look next year and we elect a Democrat as President two years later. Time spent advancing those two goals are the only worthwhile path to follow.
Anything else is a waste of everyone's time.

OR ...the GOP takes steps to remove DJT --ASAP,* and Vance moves into the White House,
and appoints a replacement VP.
* Before the mid terms in 2026.
Or, Trump publicly, physically or mentally loses it, very publicly, and undeniably.
And the rest of us MUST be out there getting every concerned American to the polls or to VOTE BY MAIL!

(151,681 posts)Yes, we win those midterm elections, enough to give us majorities in both houses.
I'm not able to predict the future, so I have nothing to say about your two ORs.
However, your last sentence is the only one that makes complete sense. Yes, that is exactly what we MUST do. We CAN'T do anything to affect any of the possibilities you raised. Absolutely nothing. So, we start working now to ensure that we win in the future elections, this year and two years from now. Will you help with that? If so, that's great. If not, I have nothing more to offer.
Quite frankly, I do not vote by mail. I haul my ass into the polling place to vote. Unless I am unable to do that, I'll do that again at each election. And I check my registration before the deadline for each election. That's what I do. I vote, and I try to convince others who might not vote to vote as well. That is what I have always done.
I do not worry about things that MIGHT happen. I plan to vote and to convince others to vote.

(2,000 posts)Donald Trump lit up Truth Social on Saturday afternoon with a stream of posts that left onlookers across the political spectrum questioning his state of mind, ranging from a drone port rendering on top of the White House to an AI image of himself appearing to blow his nose on an American flag.
The spree drew immediate reaction from all corners of social media sites. "Trump's Truth Social posting over the last hour or so is completely bats--- insane," independent journalist Aaron Rupar wrote on X. "Get a load of this nonstop nuttery."
In a later post, Rupar declared, "Trumps behavior on social media today is so unhinged even by his standards that I cant help but wonder what the doctors really told him the other day. This is a deeply unwell person."
Among the posts, Trump shared attacks on judges, criticisms of musical performers who bailed on his event, and a rendering of what he called a "DronePort" on the roof of his proposed White House ballroom. Regarding the latter, Bill Kristol, the veteran Republican commentator, noted the structure would also include a bunker underneath. "It's not just a childish extravagance," Kristol wrote. "It will be a kind of military encampment. All the more reason, obviously, for Congress to stop it."
Trump also posted a meme depicting Rep. Lauren Boebert and several other Republican lawmakers in a vehicle captioned "GET IN LOSER, WE'RE GOING LOSING" this despite the fact that Boebert had recently pushed for the release of the Epstein files, a cause popular with the MAGA base.
Separately, Trump posted an AI-generated watercolor image of himself clutching the American flag to his face in a pose that critics immediately compared to using it as a tissue.
He also reshared an old post of himself declaring, "I just want to stop the world from killing itself," which prompted the PatriotTakes account to reply: "Says the guy who bombed a girls elementary school."
Political analyst Molly Jong-Fast offered a dry summary: "He's probably fine, right?"
Former Ambassador Dan Shapiro kept it simple: "It's a beautiful day in Washington. Wish he would go outside and touch grass."
Spanish-language commentator Dr. Mario Muñoz offered a blunt diagnosis of the afternoon's activity. "The gentleman with dementia who lives in the White House is bored," he wrote on X, according to a translation.
Melanie D'Arrigo, a progressive activist and former congressional candidate, similarly connected the dots between the posting spree and broader questions about Trump's fitness for office. "When a President is posting insane stuff like this, it really doesn't matter how many dementia tests he passes to tell that he's not mentally fit for office," she wrote.
