MODERATORS
You'd need a majority in Congress and a super majorty in the Senate to be successful. Both houses currently support Trump. He was impeached twice in his first term but not removed because of a lack of a Senate super majority.
He's still very popular, many peooke are disappointed bevase he's not more aggressive.
An example, reading some comments in the FT about the No Kings protest and many of the comments said Trump should arrest all the protestors for being commie traitors
US Politics is absurdist theatre for the rest of the world
