Yeah, so, how do we do that here in America?

We give Trump and the Republicans enough rope to hang themselves. Midterms will be fascinating. I'm 100% on board with his ridiculous tariffs.

Do you belive Trump will willingly give up power if you elect someone else?

That seems wierd to me as a european. He has no reason to leave power at this point, and the USA don't have a mecanism for removing a president who choses to stay.

He ceases to be president on January 20, 2029. Period. He's not eligible to run again (nor is he eligible to be voted for by the electoral college) so it isn't dependent on who does win the election in 2028, we already know that it isn't going to be him.

The mechanism to remove him if he refuses to go is the same as removing any other person trespassing on the grounds of the White House: the secret service will physically remove any person who is not permitted to be there. With as much force as is necessary to accomplish the goal.

BTW, this includes those agents who will be assigned to protect him as a former president...their primary job will be to keep him alive, and they will bodily remove him from a dangerous location in order to accomplish that (and the White House is a dangerous location if you aren't supposed to be there).
