Like Scrooge at the end of A Christmas Carol

he's not gonna last the year because
- he can't put together a working executive branch, because nobody sane and competent will come work for him, and he's purging even the existing ones that might be willing to hunker down to keep their jobs and keep things running
- he has no coherent foreign policy other than what falls out of the trump family dealing with foreign governments to enrich themselves, and sooner or later even republicans will start to notice how much US influence is waning globally, and will learn that this is in fact a problem, because you can't retreat behind an ocean and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist anymore, particularly when your major corporations are largely owned by foreigners
- his public approval is hosed and will get more hosed the more literal nazi ideas he implements, because most americans actually DO still think the nazis were BAD, even among the magahats
- i still believe the mainstream republican plan, if there is one, is to use this opportunity to rush through all the cuts to the social safety nets and give the superwealthy whatever tax breaks are still left to give, then try to paint trump as the scapegoat, and the goat sacrifice is probably not that far off, because it turns out nobody actually wants obamacare repealed, as the republicans are finding to their horror, with their town halls suddenly filled with angry mobs asking them serious questions they have no answers for
...so what does Trump do after he gets impeached and removed?
They need to pay him off extremely well so that he goes quietly like Nixon

Couldn't congress just resolve that he's unfit to serve?

quote:The Twenty Fifth Amendment provides a framework for the President to step down or be removed from office.
Section 3. Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
