Karma is coming for President Trump. June 16 marks 10 years since he descended the Trump Tower escalator and defiled the American presidency by running on a platform to rid America of imaginary rapists and murderers invading America.
Trump’s pathology and delusion, never before seen on the American presidential stage, resonated with enough disaffected voters to achieve the presidency. It was on display throughout his term. Two stark examples:
- He dismissed, indeed disdained Covid science which likely led to over 100,000 unnecessary deaths.
- His deranged campaign pledge to not leave office if defeated, resulted in an attempted coup that nearly destroyed American democracy.
Both put his pathology and delusion were on irrefutable display for all to see and comprehend.
Yet his diabolical charismatic genius for not only holding his cult together, but widely expanding it, enabled him to avoid prison for a multitude of crimes, and win an even larger reelection victory.
But eight years after first taking office, Trump’s mental decline has accelerated noticeably. His pronouncements and actions are causing chaos on every aspect of American governance including the economy, law enforcement, adherence to the Constitution, immigration, administering the commons, foreign policy to name six.
There are two likely scenarios for Trump to be out of office by the end of his first year, January 20, 2026. Neither involves his passing or physical incapacity.
The first involves his removal as acting president under the 25th Amendment.
It is foreseeable that Vice President Vance and a majority of the cabinet will seek to remove Trump as president under that Amendment due to his deteriorated mental condition making him unfit to serve. If so, this will mark the first time this drastic measure to save America from presidential governing collapse would be invoked since its passage in 1967.
There is one other scenario that could occur before the end of year one: Trump himself could comprehend he is so mentally debilitated that he will resign the presidency. This could be facilitated by a family intervention. He would have nothing to lose as he’s virtually immune from ever facing indictment, prosecution imprisonment for any crimes past, present or future. With Vance in the presidency possessing pardoning power, Trump will never will get the justice he deserves.
If either scenario comes to pass as predicted, January 20, 2026, will dawn with the most dangerous man of the 46 who have served the presidency, thankfully and finally off the public stage he has defiled every day of his five years in office.

Will Vance be any better?
A third scenario: America houses hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of individuals who own enough weapons to open their own gun shops. Many of these individuals sit within the semi-lunatic fringes of that semi-lunatic society. It’s an attested fact that many Americans are characterised by their paranoia, hatreds, anger and suspicions. It’s not inconceivable that history might repeat itself and one of these deranged citizens might take it upon himself, either solo or goaded by a disgruntled & unemployed former security person – ex CIA or FBI – who’s been sacked by Trump/Musk, to take the final option of removing Trump from the land of the living.
