Trump is headed toward impeachment or the exercise of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment. This type of indecisive behavior (pulling nominees) is playing into the hands of those who see him as irrational.
He has 100% of the Democrat votes in the House and Senate against him. Conviction in today’s Senate will require 20 Republican votes. Twelve Senators stood against Trump on the wall. It will take only 8 additional Senators to remove him. Actually 7 because McConnell will likely vote for conviction if there are 19 other votes to convict.
Waivering on ICE is one thing. Consider also Secretary of State Mattis resigned in December 2018. There is still no nominee for what is arguably one of the three most critical cabinet positions (Defense, State, and Attorney General). The Mattis resignation was no surprise. There should have been a nominee for his replacement within 2 weeks, not nearly 4 months.
Consider also his wavering on border enforcement. Consider he keeps talking about releasing FISA information, but does nothing. These behaviors are not those of a strong and effective leader.
One other factor. His trade policies are unpopular in Congress and with big business. No doubt those who wield economic power in this country are telling Congress to “fix” the trade situation. Notice there has been no progress toward passing the new NAFTA. Also notice Trump keeps “delaying” imposition of the strong tariffs against China.
If Trump continues to waver and appear indecisive, plus continue to make public statements that are untrue and appear to be the result of memory failure (claiming his father was born in Germany), VP Pence and a majority of the cabinet may certify to Congress that Trump is mentally and emotionally unable to discharge the duties of office. Back that up with a statement signed by Trump’s physician and he will be “temporarily” removed. However, Congress can then permanently remove his with a 2/3 vote of both houses. If Pence and the cabinet exercise Section 3 of the 25th amendment, Congress will be quick to come up with the 2/3 vote to permanently remove him. Remember, Kevin McCarthy, the GOP minority leader in the House, is a member of the Paul Ryan RINO establishment. When push comes to shove, the moderates will vote with the party to do the bidding of their donors.
Go to Hell Concern Troll!
You have been a Freeper since 2006 and you put up a chicken little type post like that?...are you OK ? Off your meds a lil’ bit?
Most absurd trolling post of the year-to-date... You neverTrumpers need to return to the cesspool of your Alinsky compatriots at the DU...
What??? Mattis never was Sect of State, he was Secty of Defense
And what do you mean he has no Secty of State or AG. Where have you been? Two of the three are filled and Shanahan is serving as Secty of Defense. Just wow. I think you're on the wrong web site.
Trump issued the threat to Mexico that he
would shut down the border if they didn’t
attempt to stop the flow. Mexico has taken
action to stop the flow. The threat remains
on the table as Trump is now watching to see
if Mexico is only making a half-assed
attempt. Trump didn’t u-turn on his threat,
but added an additional arm twist of teriffs
of Mexican built autos if they don’t pitch
in to stop the flow.
Trump’s not crazy, but he’s dealing with a
country that is.
Trump says a LOT of things. Some are contradictory. You seem to confuse what he says with what he DOES, and hes been incredibly consistent with that. He is fulfilling the campaign promises he made.
You go ahead and ignore all the things hes done in 2 years. Im watching more 30 foot high barriers being built than any other time in my life. Im watching illegal immigration become a national emergency and a daily topic of conversation regarding the desires of Democrats to have ever more invading hordes of illegals.
So go ahead and snark. Im seeing things getting done.
