15. He has become a "symbol" to his supporters and a cariacature to us

As a "symbol", he represents a metaphor for a certain societal mindset. Thus he has shed any expectation to conform to reality because he is no longer "real"... And he has successfully been able to convince his followers to embrace this role that makes him beyond human - a literal fantasy that embodies all of their pent-up hopes and dreams.

This role however, is as a super villain - one who has ditched the "honor system" expected for our system of government, and I really do think that the collective authoritative body is literally trying to grasp how to handle such an unprecedented turn of events and attempt to utilize what tools they can find from past history, to apply to handling him.

I suppose strategies used for handing mob bosses might be helpful but in this case, because Congress is not a "criminal" law enforcement body, their options are limited from that standpoint. Hate to say but they may have to "break some eggs" to get the job done and it's a matter of finding the best way and best one able to do that.
