Trump was certainly an outlier, but the observation holds.

Trump (come January anyway) is a lame duck now, especially with a blue Congress. He won't get anything substantial through Congress and everyone's attention will will rapidly shift to who is running in 2028.

Sure, he's also a self-centred fool who hates being ignored and thinks he can run again in 2028. I expect him to bomb Iran in the next few days, and congress/senate to be too slow/weak to stop him.

I don't think so. I would not be a bit surprised if impeachment proceedings were started on January 3 (though I think it not to be the best use of their time, they certainly aren't going to listen to me).

He's already been impeached twice, with very little coming out of it. Many republicans would have to truly abandon him for any drastic consequences to happen.

People always forget the Erdoǧan Principle. Democracy is a train. You take it to where you want to go, and then you step off.

This is cope. Trump is still very popular among Republican primary voters. An anti-Trump candidate faces an uphill battle with the base of the party.

He has been pushing a lot of his agenda via executive orders. I doubt Congress is going to stop him since he can veto whatever he wants.
