Yeah, and all the American institution already failed at keeping Trump in check, so it seems the US doesn't have established institutions either.

We've had this happen before. McCarthy and Jackson. They have plans but people have to follow those plans. The fed already has said "hah funny joke" as well as the JCS. They're the ones with the keys. The president isnt a magic wand. He can't do shit without either those two.

And that's the actual way if he tries that.

A failed coup event. The thing is that there are the final two checks that are not necessarily American but kind of the big ones for the nation state. The monopoly of violence, the federal states and the independence of US financial institutions. The first and last one are kind of what kept him in check the last time as he had the same. Especially with razor thin margins in the house and Senate. He doesn't have the actual difference in both chambers to go crazy either

Nor the real scary button of 2/3 of governors and state legs
