On Christmas Day, seen as a new beginning by hundreds of millions of people in America and worldwide, it is a time for reflection on what America and the world have experienced in the past year of Donald Trump’s Presidency.
The list of outrages and illegalities and abuses that Donald Trump has promoted in the first year of his second term warrants a response that is decisive.
Trump’s deranged lunatic behavior has undermined American domestic and foreign policy, and presents a dire threat to American democracy, the rule of law, and international order.
Trump clearly is demented, and displays it daily in a multitude of ways, and every imaginable utterance and action only escalates to further alarm all sensible people, including many who failed to see the danger that he represented, but who now realize the threat that he presents.
But the 25th Amendment provides a method to remove Trump as mentally incompetent and dangerous, and while the elevation of Vice President JD Vance is not welcomed, as he is no Gerald Ford, it can be believed that his rise to the Presidency, while far from ideal, would represent a fresh start.
The belief is that Vance would wish to offer a new beginning, backing away from the worst atrocities of speech and action of Donald Trump.
The thought that Trump, with power over nuclear weapons, could ignite a nuclear war is horrifying, and despite what seems like total loyalty and sycophancy of the Trump Cabinet, it seems reasonable to believe that action could be taken, with the pressure brought by Republicans in Congress, who have shown growing discontent with the Trump Presidency, likely to increase in 2026.
As part of the NO KINGS Marches, which will escalate in 2026, the American people must bring pressure on the Trump Cabinet and the Republican Party, in unity with Democrats, to remove Donald Trump from office, similar to what happened with Richard Nixon a half century ago!
