Good 'ol dementia don is lashing out a bit more each day.
More to the point, now that he is in the throes of dementia, what are his cabinet members telling him?
I forsee that they're going to manipulate him worse then he and his brothers manipulated their father (Fred Trump) when the old man came down with dementia.
Hold on to your hats folks, this is going to be a wild ride..
Their goal is to keep the power they have by whatever it takes. It's a shame that the route to addressing a failing President is by relying on his Cabinet or a majority of Congress to act appropriately for the country and not for themselves. Section 4 is also purposefully vague to allow the judgement of those people determine the right course vs. having a hard set rule, and things like incompetence wouldn't necessarily be enough unless it threatened Constitutional rule. Well, I think we crossed that line a while ago...
This is why I absolutely blame Trump, and the voters that repeatedly gave him that power, but god damn, what about everyone else in the government who could do something and aren't because they gain to profit while he's there? They all should be lined up on a wall. And... um, be told stern words, or whatever you're supposed to do when you line people on a wall. I don't know.
For all the good it could do, I's suggest starting with local elections. Undo at the most local level the damage coming from the top. Work to shore up protections within communities. Beyond that, it's just stay focussed on the shitshow coming to your area and do what you can for yourself and your neighbors. Then vote like your life depends on it.
The end "I don't know" was a bit tongue in cheek, but you're right, local is where it really begins, and affects you most. Plus you have far more effect with local reps, as you can actually face to face question, and thank, what they do.
