That means no trial is necessary for him, naturally.
I don't know if I support him living much longer.
If any other president ... Democrat or Republican ... had come out and said the things Turnip has said over the years, they would have lost their political careers by now
The problem isn't this orange idiot, the problem is the mass of people, politicians, funders, enablers and wealthy backers who want this moron in power. Turnip is a powerless fool .... it's the people who keep him power that are the problem

Fucking with them is a spectacularly bad idea, just ask the British.
Someone fucking murder Trump already.
Trump is just the highly visible part of a whole cancerous growth. All of the right wing, with its "outgroups to bind and in-groups to protect" worldview, needs to go.

I don't support constitutional due process for him either
So if he doesn’t support it does that mean you cant violate the constitution if he’s removed by any means?
Ooh ooh I know the answer!
He doesn't.
This comment, all by itself, is an impeachable offense. Sigh.
He swore an oath to the very thing he doesn't give a shit about.
The constitutional crisis happened on swearing in day.
The person being sworn in as President by the Chief Justice that day was ineligible for office according to the 14th Amendment section 3. And he could only do that because Congress neglected its Constitutional duty to enforce that provision.
That is all three branches of the government colluding to break the Constitution to put an ineligible man into the highest office.

We treat him better than any criminal and he still cries about being treated unfairly... anyone else in America would be behind bars right now.

Just wait till it affects him personally and he will.
Yes, my immediate thought: he will when he's tried for treason. Not that that will help him, if he and his Business Plot 2.0 co-conspirators are ever tried. So will W, Cheneys, Rices, and if we're lucky, hrc.
It already did and he got off scot-free because of it.
Two would-be assassins tried to circumvent due process. Due process benefits all without regard for politics. Or it should.

In classic Conservative fashion he benefited from due process when he needed it and now he wants to remove it so others can't benefit from it.
George Washington saw this coming
"[…] cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
