I cling to the hope that term limits will prevent him serving beyond his current term but of course he will die eventually so we will be rid of him one way or another.
The real worry is what will happen after Trump.
Will someone sane be put in power? If so will they fix the defects in the constitution and other legal frameworks to prevent such a thing happening again?
Or will the constitution be impossible to amend in this way? Americans seem peculiarly resistant to the idea that the constitution should be amenable to change despite article V. The framers of the constitution explicitly made it possible and some (e.g. Elbridge Gerry) pointed out that it would be necessary for it to be amended to rectify its shortcomings.
Or will everyone just breathe a sigh of relief and just pretend that Trump and his cronies did it all by themselves with no assistance from the way that the US government system works?
Will whoever gains power next use the precedents set by this administration to further weaken the power of Congress?
