Regarding Citizen Trump

Everyone except is most ardent supporters, who believe the government is a Deep State conspiracy (which may or may not include Fox News) are sure that Trump should not, nor should have ever, been President (even Trump may have known this once). His producer tells us that he would crush and snort his adderall. That we have a President who needs Adderall is a problem in and of itself. He is so ill informed and, frankly stupid or demented (it matters not) that even his close aids try to shield the nation from his whims. He is likely compromised as a Russian agent, who quite crazily thinks that Putin is his agent (which would explain a lot). He believes, as do some in the Administration, that his Tweets are law (they cannot be and anyone who who treats them as such should know better and read the Administrative Procedures Act).

What should we do about Citizen Trump? The powers that be are letting the status quo continue, with staff stopping too much damage at the White House and agency levels, but everyone is not in on the scheme. In due time, there will be a report and, after pretending to object, the Senate Republicans will urge him to resign or be ousted. He will either be indicted or pardoned (depending on whether Pence is involved or not) and will likely do what disgraced President's usually do at first, get sick. He could die first and solve that problem, while his kids face the legal music. Indeed, they deserve to for humoring their father in his dotage.

The really sane thing to do, and it is what should have been done as soon as verifiable information was received showing he was likely compromised, is to arrest him and then worry about the investigation finishing later. This can be done before or after the 25th Amendment is invoked. There is no reason not to do both of these things today. Whether he is held at Walter Reed in the Presidential suite or D.C.'s Correctional Treatment Facility makes no difference to me. Just get him away from the red phone and put Pence in as the acting President - even if he is also compromised (although he can be arrested much more easily and forced to resign if he is).

There is a final option (no, not euthanasia). Get the congressional Gang of Four together (Pelosi, McCarthy, McConnell and Schumer) and meet with the Vice President and Cabinet and invoke the 25th Amendment without telling Trump, his family or his inner circle. Give him memos like he is President. Even give him legislation to sign occasionally, but make sure he is out of the decision loop. Have Pence act for him quietly. He can have any official documents signed with the autopen and he can initial the real ones with the standard MP for over the auto signature. Have all agency heads and Congress deal with Pence quietly as acting President. Let everyone but Putin know what is going on and if he catches on, simply don't let him communicate with anyone but Pence. If he still makes trouble, have the Deep State take care of him.

Inform the main stream media. Leave Fox News out of the joke. It is funnier that way. If they find out, they won't tell and if they do, no one will believe them anyway. Quit reporting on Trump's tweets or public statements. Indeed, quit going to White House press briefings, or if you do, ask Sarah Sanders directly if Trump is being bypassed. Whether she knows or not, she will say he is not. From that point on, stop broadcasting the briefings (although you can create real Fake News to let Trump think he is still in charge.

Stop covering his tweets. No one would want their dotering parent subject to the ridicule he constantly earns. Decorum demands you treat them as the ramblings of the sick old man he is. He is likely not smart enough to notice the difference. If and when he does, let him quietly resign. Don't even worry about impeachment - or when we do it, do it quietly and treat him as we all treated President Reagan after he left public life due to his illness. At some point, take him down to Mar O Largo and let him golf every day.

In other words, make him the star of his own Truman Show. Anything to get him off the news and get us out of danger.
