@Jazzhead The elites won't force him out. His own craziness will.
What does that actually mean, structurally and legally? How does his craziness "force him out"? I mean, lots of folks would argue he's engaged in that craziness since Day 1, and he's still in office. So exactly how will his craziness force him not to run again, if not via outside pressure?
Obviously, the Republicans who are pushing for him to resign/not run again, threaten impeachment, etc., will say "But it wasn't us! It was his own craziness! He did it to himself!" Thing is, no matter how many times they say it, and even if they believe it, and
even if it is largely true, that still will not affect the perception on the part of those who supported him that the elites forced him out.
And here's the larger point. It's "gaslighting". Myself and many others believe there has been an incessant, unfair campaign against him even before he took office. A virtual conspiracy among unelected civil servants, the major media, Democrats, corrupt judges, and GOP elites. They've been trying to remove him from office since Day 1 (the early 25th Amendment argument, for example) even though there was no
legal justification for it, but simply their belief that he was "unfit". The pressure from them has been unrelenting, and it's my belief that a large part of the explanation for how he currently behaves is that it is a reaction to the way he has been treated.
Their logic was that if they hammer him continuously, sooner or later he'll do something that will give them justification to remove him. And so that's where we are now, with the "it's his own craziness that did him in", as if the rest of us have forgotten what's happened during the last three years that brought us to this point. To me, giving in to that is ratifying everything they did, and accepting that as part of our political process moving forward. I honestly lack the words to say how much I detest that -- it absolutely sickens me that a side that lost an election can, with the complicity of a politicized press, force a duly elected President out of office. Or at least make him not run again.
Your arguments may have logical appeal, but they're going to bounce right off the people who don't like seeing what's been done to Trump, because they see it as saying that their votes in 2016 really don't count.
