On CNN though, some of the analysts said it wouldn’t be so easy because Trump has installed a bunch of loyalists in the cabinet (the less loyal ones like Mattis have already left the administration).

Anyways, I hope Trump can be removed. But if he still has sycophants in his cabinet, it won’t be easy.

Trump may not even last long enough to finish out the rest of his term.

I'd have President Pence for less than a month, sure. He'd at least help prevent the US from burning down until Biden is sworn in. --I hope anyway.
