Walt Zlotow – GOP intervention needed to remove disintegrating Trump from office

Walt Zlotow, Glen Ellyn, 14 Mar 25

It took nearly 4 years to Democrats to stage an intervention to remove a mentally disintegrating Joe Biden from office.

We cannot wait that long for GOP to do their version with a disintegrating Donald Trump.

That’s because his disintegration is compounded by a malevolent streak of vindictiveness, revenge, lust for dictatorial power, gleeful dismantling of the American safety net maintaining the commons never before experienced in American history.

Annoy him and he’ll call you Asian if you’re black; Palestinian if you’re a Jew. That is sick.

Trying to salvage Musk’s sinking Tesla brand, he morphed into a sleazy car salesman pitching Tesla cars as his smug governmental wrecking ball looked on.

His obsession with tariffs has spooked Wall Street, every sensible economist, every trading partner and Joe Sixpack watching his retirement drop while his costs of necessities rise. He appears detached from reality of the economic deluge he’s unleashing.

His congressional speech sounded more like an indoor Nuremburg Rally than a prescription for healing America. His idolatrous congressional Republicans roared their approval. Apparently oblivious they’re standing on the deck of the Titanic along with the Democrats, they jeered them for not saluting America’s first autocratic president.

Whether it’s sliming critics, stealing foreign territory, gutting government, snipping the social safety net, provoking self-destructive trade war, Trump’s delusions of grandeur increase daily.

There is historical precedent for Republicans staging an intervention to remove a morally compromised president. In 1974 a GOP intervention led by Sen. Barry Goldwater visited morally compromised President Nixon in the White House and convinced him to resign. Such an intervention by today’s GOP, while virtually inconceivable, is still critically needed to prevent an unprecedented collapse of every vestige of the American promise to its citizenry.

If morally centered Barry Goldwater were in the Senate today, he’d likely step up to lead the Trump intervention. Alas, knowing the makeup of today’s GOP, it might be an intervention of one.
