Removing Trump

Heads of states have nearly complete power over their country’s citizens, which means that an unscrupulous leader can be extremely difficult to expel.

A couple of hundred years ago, an armed uprising may have been possible, but certainly not in modern America, where the U.S. president controls 1.3 million law enforcement personnel and a military whose annual budget is approaching $1 trillion.

There are ways that Trump can be removed: a military coup, or the 25th Amendment/impeachment.  Note that both of these mechanisms are out of the hands of the individual citizen.  We have to hope that our leaders do the right thing.
