Trump is an ass but what he is doing is within the framework of his power. Of course we should protest and use the courts when he over steps his bounds. Remember he is the legally elected Pesident. If he takes an action that warrants an impeachment then so be it, but it would not be good for the country. He was elected because the large major that dislike him did not do their duty and vote and we have only ourself to blame. Take a look at the voter turn out in the swing states for President Obama vs this election. The deamcrates lost because they played badly. I refuse to act like one of those that said President Obama was not their president. 2 wrongs do not make a right. Fight, protest, call and write your congressmen. Do something.

I am advocating for removal because Trump is so clearly unfit for this role. The US Constitution provides a number of checks on Presidential power, including at least two ways to remove a President from office. They are both highly political, in the sense that Congressional politicians decide whether to invoke them. That means we must persuade as many Americans as possible that he must be removed. If pressure grows strong enough, the politicians will respond. Further, I argue that time is of the essence. Remember, the Third Reich consolidated its power relatively quickly after the Germans elected them in 1932. My understanding is that within five months the dictatorship was essentially in place.

  See the issue here is that a huge number of Americans voted for him and he won the election. Your opinion that he is unfit for office is not held by around half the public. I think he is unfit also but he has not done anything so egregious that he can be removed. No mater how smart we think we are our opinion here is no more valid then those that voted for him. This talk of the Nazis is silly. To start, the courts have already overridden his travel ban and the agency's that have to enforce it implemented the orders of the court. Second his own party is likely to moderate his actions as there already dissent on the imagination issue and budget issues (he was criticized by his own part about his comments on the court ruling). Third he same group of people that voted for him have an absolute independent view and will turn on him like a rabid wolf if he tried to implement any orders that where needed to turn this county into a dictatorship. Forth the military would not follow those orders period (I having served can assure you of that). This is polictical theater in the worse way.
