A Danger to the World: It's Time to Get Rid of Donald Trump
Donald Trump has transformed the United States into a laughing stock and he is a danger to the world. He must be removed from the White House before things get even worse.

I'm all for it. There is just one teeny,microscopic problem though...Just how do we plan to do this,hummmmmmm? And then,if we do,he gets replaced with Mr. religious nut job,who will be just as bad,in his own sick way.
We are so screwed.
The problem is not the president, or the vice president. It is the people of the US. He's just a reflection of his country.

Well said and so true.
"We" as in the planet, not just Americans.
The planet didn't elect Trump. Sure, other Western countries have made similar crappy choices, but besides Britain and Poland I don't see anything comparable to what's happening on the US. And they don't have anything comparable to the power to fuck up the world the US wields.
I'm of course setting aside the usual banana republic dictatorships, which have always existed.
Yup,the whole enchilada!
Whatever you think about the election or the candidates running, voters in the American Republic chose the less effective of two evils. That election wasn't going to end well, and it could well have ended worse. Easy for someone from Battlefield Europe, in a timeline without a hot war with Russia to say they wish it had turned out differently.
Sure, but the people of the US allowed the situation to get to the point where there wasn't any acceptable choice. Note that I didn't say it was the fault of the people who voted for him, or the Republicans. It's everyone's fault. The system is broken due to a combination of mass stupidity, lack of engagement from people, unprecedented levels of corruption in the government, and obscene greed from the rich and powerful. If the American people really wanted something different they would make it happen, but they're just sitting and watching it happen.
Fair enough. You're not wrong. The system is decrepit. However, the author's angle is that Trump is somehow uniquely troubling and in need of removal. The American voting public may've elected an old money New York Know Nothing gasbag with a proud family tradition of KKK membership, but let's not forget this president saved the republic by immediately stopping the loathsome, rule-by-corporate-profits TPP once he was sworn in. It's not like this vote settled nothing. Whether the hypothetical alternative is Pence or Clinton or Orrin Hatch, all I'm saying is things could be worse.
It can always be worse. I learned a while ago to never say it can't get worse. That's a challenge to the Universe, and it always takes it.
I'll just sit here and wait for the outrage from the Democrats over a foreigner attempting to meddle in US Politics. I'm sure they'll be along any second now...
There is a big difference between a foreign magazine publishing an op-ed, to a government doing dealings (whatever dealings those are, if there ever is an investigation) with members of the administration.
Nixon, when he was running against Johnson, made a deal with the North Vietnamese to keep the war going. Reagan, when he was running against Carter, bargained with the Iranians to keep dozens of Americans hostage until after the election. Now we’re supposed to be outraged at the unprecedented horror of… wait, what exactly again?
I see he offered no solution to the problem. A populist article with Trump in the title is easy to do but actually providing the route to achieving the goal of this article appears to have escaped him.
I noticed that as well. I really don't know what anyone can do quite honestly.
Well...
