Is Trump Beyond Repair?

I suppose it’s true that Trump is “beyond repair,” but that somehow implies that Trump and/or the American people would like to see an improved president in the White House. Not true.

Trump himself thinks he’s God’s gift to the U.S. presidency, and his supporters are in 100% agreement.

Briefly: His first term passed largely without incident.

The next presidential term, served by Biden, was contentious to say the least, in that it consisted of Trump’s contesting the election with a stream of lies and violence, including the insurrection against the U.S. Capitol, and arrest, trial and conviction of more than 900 violent offenders.

Near the end of the term, grand juries from four different jurisdictions brought a total of four indictments against Trump totaling 91 felony counts. Though Trump did everything in his power to stave off the criminal proceedings, he went to trial in the case of falsifying business records in the 34-count felony indictment, brought by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and heard in the New York State Supreme Court.  He was convicted on all counts.

Trump was re-elected in the 2024 election, and the first eight+ months of his second term has been a cyclone of lawlessness, with each day bringing a new volley of savage attacks against American democracy, the U.S. Constitution, and rule of law. The president is clearly amassing wealth and power, making it difficult or impossible to remove him from office in 2028.

There is a negligible portion of the U.S. electorate that would like to see Trump “repaired.” Again, the voters who support him think that he’s doing a perfect job in “making America great again.” The rest of us would like to see his presidency ended asap via the 25th Amendment or some other legal vehicle that applies to the insane, to traitors, and anyone else clearly unfit to continue to lead the nation.
