Odds favor his ouster anyway because he was supposed to lose, not win, last November. The wrong presidential aspirant sits in the oval office, unforgivable in Washington. Winning prevented neocon favorite Hillary’s triumph, the way things were supposed to turn out.

It’s a deplorable situation for him, his few trusted loyalists, mainly family members, for the nation and humanity - hugely harmed by the despicable way Washington operates, a sinkhole of fascist tyranny. In response to Trump’s signing legislation imposing new illegal sanctions on Russia, however reluctantly, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev blasted him, saying:
..
“A fully-fledged trade war has been declared on Russia...We will quietly continue our work to develop economy and the social sphere and will be engaged in import substitution, as well as address most important state tasks, counting upon ourselves, first of all.”
..
“We have learnt to do it in the recent years in the conditions of almost closed financial markets, fear of foreign creditors and investors to bankroll in Russia on pain of sanctions against third parties and countries...It benefitted us in some way, though sanctions are senseless as a whole. We’ll pull through.”
..
Medvedev minced no words, saying new sanctions dash “hopes for improving our relations with the new US administration.” Its illegal and irresponsible action “is a declaration of a full-fledged economic war on Russia. Unless a miracle happens,” the sanctions will adversely affect bilateral relations for decades. “The Trump administration has shown its total weakness by handing over executive power to Congress in the most humiliating way.”
..
“This changes the power balance in US political circles.” The end game is removing Trump from office and pursuing regime change in Russia, possibly by unthinkable nuclear war - humanity’s survival up for grabs if launched.

Moscow must prepare militarily for the worst, knowing how America operates, its rage for war, its diabolical aim for unchallenged global dominance, wanting all sovereign independent states eliminated - mainly Russia and China. It’s no exaggeration calling today the most perilous time in world history. Where things appear heading should terrify everyone. Unless stopped, we’re all doomed.
..
His only redeeming attribute is he’s not Hillary, or at least it seemed during months of campaigning. After six months in office, he resembles her with a gender difference. There’s plenty about his domestic and geopolitical agenda to criticize, nothing to praise. Yet he’s denigrated for the wrong reasons, not the right ones, not for escalating naked aggression he escalated, new wars he may launch, his corporate favoritism over social justice, or police state harshness he favors.
..
The NYT —as noxious and hypocritical an enterprise as one can find—claims he’s “destroying our democracy.” How can he destroy what doesn’t exist. One-party rule with two right wings runs things, each taking turns. “America is on its way to a full-blown constitutional crisis,” The Times bellowed. How much worse can things get when the Clintons, Bush/Cheney and Obama ignored rule of law principles entirely?
..
Trump operates the same way, bipartisan neocon infested Congress worst of all. Yet he alone is criticized - not for his actions, because he was supposed to lose, and he’s perceived as anti-establishment. Whoever heard of an anti-establishment billionaire anywhere, especially in America and other Western societies? They didn’t get super-rich by being good guys, playing by the rules, and operating outside the system.
..
The Times: “Mr. Trump is willing to deal a major blow to the rule of law — and the American Republic — in order to end an independent investigation into his Russia ties.” Fact: He’s right calling the investigation a witch-hunt. No evidence suggests he or his team had or have improper or illegal dealings with Russia. The investigation involves denigrating and weakening him ahead of trying to oust him from office, easily controllable neocon Pence ready to step in, a fifth column element close to the seat of power.
..
Trump erred by choosing him. He’d be best served by assigning him minor duties alone, not important ones on the domestic or world stage.
..
The Times: “Mr. Trump is increasingly emulating the playbook of popularly elected strongmen who have done deep, lasting damage to their countries’ democratic institutions.” Fact: Trump is pathetically weak. By passing deplorable sanctions on Russia, Iran and North Korea, Congress usurped executive authority, consigning him to a bit geopolitical role on Russia, serving notice they’ll take charge of domestic and geopolitical issues at their discretion, leaving him out of the picture entirely if they wish. Like or dislike him, it’s a deplorable state of affairs when the president of the world’s richest and most powerful nation is more figurehead than leader. It suggests his days in office may be numbered. He’s been mostly ineffective so far - other than banning targeted Muslims from entering America, waging endless imperial wars, and exclusively representing monied interests.
..
The Times: “(T)he only sure way to save the republic is (by) standing up to the president’s authoritarian behavior…today.” Neocons running things replaced fundamental freedoms with fascist tyranny. Tinkering around the edges can’t change things. The problem isn’t Trump. It’s the system too debauched to fix. The only solution is nonviolent revolution. Nothing else can work.

Russia’s PM Unloads on Trump
Things are more dreadful today than any time in modern memory. A US president is held hostage by ruthless neocons infesting Congress and his administration. He’s opposed by media scoundrels overwhelmingly against him, denigrating whatever he does or doesn’t do relentlessly - an assault on him to continue as long as he remains in office. He has two choices - go along with the pure evil agenda of the Clintons, Bush/Cheney and Obama, their war on humanity at home and abroad, the interests of Wall Street and war-profiteers, or be removed from office by impeachment or more sinister means...

The Problem with Trump Is Voters Elected the Wrong President
He was supposed to lose, not win. Hillary claimed it was her turn. It was time to break the glass ceiling and elect a woman as president. Besides, she claimed, she had lots of experience as first lady/co-president with husband Bill, US senator and secretary of state. She ignored her deplorable political record only a despot, imperial warrior, and Wall Street crook would admire. Media scoundrels supported her overwhelmingly, operating as virtual press agents, not journalists, instructing voters on who to back. Most didn’t listen so things turned out the wrong way, creating political turmoil after Trump’s surprise...
