Do you believe Donald Trump will be able to serve out his second term?

I know that politics is not a popular topic on MyLot. But I had to ask: Do you believe Donald Trump will be able to serve out his second term? Impeachment. 25th Amendment. Illness and death. All reallistic possibilities at this point. I could blab on, but I have asked a yes or no question. I suppose the interesting part is the reasons. Why do you think the answer is "yes" or "no"? I promise to respond thoughtfully to comments.

He appears too ill to be president now but those who could shed him aren't. I hope he and his tribe go back under the rock they emerged from.

J.D. Vance is a wild card to me. But Trump's time has obviously come.

I think I mentioned it before to you. They have tried everything in their power to impeach him, to get him out of office, to prevent him from running again for president and everything failed so I doubt they’ll be successful this time around.

Have you watched him speak recently? I think his dementia has reached a point where even his closest beneficiaries cannot support him. He is a danger to the US and the world.

Not if the Dems win the Midterms he won't. Honestly, his behavior is far off in left field now .I wouldn't surprised if he is removed under the 25th amendment. I do believe there are probably discussions behind the scenes.

I feel Biden was in a similar situation, but was able to complete his presidency. But then again, his signs of decline came later in his presidency than what Trump is showing now. I wonder how much of Trump's mental decline is due to the fact he lives off of McDonalds and Diet Coke and never sleeps?

As others have said, it is probable that is being discussed behind the scenes. But how many of his sycophants were caught up in the Epstein mess?

I really wonder. His dementia really seems to be taking hold. He's a 80 year old McDonald's fan after all.

Nobody will really have to worry about getting him out of office if he continues on the path of starting a nuclear war which is what he is doing.

But the midterms have to be a landslide for him to be removed. I believe there are several Republicans who would stand behind him, even with what we know.

If he had a stroke severe enough that he could not speak at all, would his handlers' hands be forced?

When Vince saw that disgusting 'healing' image, he reckoned the patient looked like Epstein. I hadn't picked up on that but that's how it struck Vince.

He might struggle to finish his term but it all depends on who takes over the congress after the November elections.
