16. Republicans could impeach and remove Trump in short order
Mon Jan 12, 2026, 09:27 PM
Jan 2026

They have had that ability since 2016
It obviously has not happened and there is not a hint of it around the corner.

But even if Trump were impeached and removed tomorrow ... President JD 'Project 2025' Vance ... what will materially change with Vance?

Trump has been and is still being enabled.
He could not have been elected without that.
He could not have remained as party leader without that.
He still has that oligarch money and support.
That support - the enablers - owns most of the US media and social media.
Remove Trump and Vance or whoever they want is their new puppet.

The enablers love people thinking the problem is Trump.
Trump is not the real problem. He never has been.
