Having signed a trade agreement with Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom, Trump thinks he now has a trade agreement with the European Union.

The United Kingdom left the European Union 5 years ago.

I can't say whether Trump is that stupid. But what we're hearing from the US is that the situation for all foreigners (including Germany) is extremely tense and arbitrary because of the Trump administration. It doesn't matter whether you have an EB-5 Investment Green Card or a B-2 visa. Apparently, even US senators aren't safe from the arbitrary actions of the Trumps.
Are these isolated cases, and on what basis, or is Trump making himself emperor and destroying the checks and balances?

@SamsenBdRi @randahl He has already destroyed them.

SCOTUS is stuffed with a Trump-GOP majority.

Congress is a double GOP majority, which technically would be the sole instance that could demand an accounting from him, has Congressmen giggle when they tell the press that POTUS is breaking the constitution.

So yes, the #Trumpregime has literally already broken the regular check and balances. Next stop, federal occupation of these pesky Democrat voting metropolitan areas, test case LA.

While impeachment is one way to remove the President of the United States from office, it is not the only way. A President can also be removed through the 25th Amendment to the Constitution,

If there is unrest or civil war in the USA, the whole world will be affected!

So please don’t hesitate and debate.

@SamsenBdRi Nobody sane can want Sections 1, 3, or 4 to be applied here. Nobody sane can want J.D. Vance to become president.

I hope somebody will find a better solution than liberal application of the Second Amendment...

You can't possibly want that.
The man is included, of course.

@SamsenBdRi @randahl Yes, but that's not a check & balance on the #Trumpregime if the regime has to remove the Glorious Leader.

Notice that basically the same women and men who are doing his dirty work would have to vote to remove him. That's not check and balances, that's just a formality to keep the government working if the President becomes only “kind of” disabled, without being nice enough to fall down properly dead.
