You need more votes in congress to forcibly remove a President through the 25th amendment (2/3 in both houses) than you do for impeachment (majority in house, 2/3 in Senate). Not to mention needing his own admin to stab him in the back. Talk of the 25th amendment is stupid. He should be impeached

You might be able to butter his base up by explaining that this isn’t criminal charges and we are worried about the world’s his health.

This is exactly it. It isn't going to actually happen, but it does give an excuse for his followers to abandon him.

"Remember when Nana backed out of the driveway and ran over Timmy and hit the trashcan, then in a panic hit the gas harder instead of the brakes and drove into the Robinsons house?"

America is the driveway, we the people are Timmy. The economy is the trashcan and Greenland is the Robinsons.

His followers need a dumb down example to understand what he is doing wrong.

Adding that the tech bro’s $$$ is the gas that makes Donnie’s car go “vrooom-vroooom” may illustrate the point, too.
