If a political leader here in western Europe pulls just a fraction of the shit Trump has pulled that person would have been gone for a while now. |
People have taken to the streets in mass protests on multiple occasions to voice displeasure on various issues. You cannot force political leaders out unless they are found to commit crimes or treason. Trump is under investigation, but we have to let the process play out. The bedrock of our democracy is stability, the transference of power, and the legitimacy of our elections. It is preferable to endure an unpopular president than set a precedent of mob rule forcing people out. Regardless of how we feel, a significant number of citizens voted for him and he won based within the system we have.
