I take 45s comments Press personally OP/ED

There's only two ways to dump a politician while he's in office.  No one seems to be interested in either option so it seems that Trump will continue to do as he pleases.  So why worry?

I assume the two ways you're talking about are assassination (which no one in their right mind will bring up, especially on a web forum), and impeachment (which a lot of people have been clamoring for since the election PRE-INAUGURATION; however, that doesn't mean a fucking thing when his party dominates all three houses and A) by and large, don't care, and B) has demonstrated multiple times throughout the Obama administration that they'd rather try and drive America into literal bankruptcy than do anything bipartisan).

Why worry? I could ask the same question about any number of dictators, up to and including Hitler and Stalin. Then again, since you act like a 4chan alt-right troll, I bet you think that's a feature, not a bug.

And speaking of Stalin, here's something someone in his own party said about Trump's remarks about the press:

it is a testament to the condition of our democracy that our own president uses words infamously spoken by Josef Stalin to describe his enemies. It bears noting that so fraught with malice was the phrase "enemy of the people," that even Nikita Khrushchev forbade its use, telling the Soviet Communist Party that the phrase had been introduced by Stalin for the purpose of "annihilating such individuals" who disagreed with the supreme leader.

This alone should be a source of great shame for us in this body, especially for those of us in the president's party. For they are shameful, repulsive statements. And, of course, the president has it precisely backward -- despotism is the enemy of the people. The free press is the despot's enemy, which makes the free press the guardian of democracy. When a figure in power reflexively calls any press that doesn't suit him "fake news," it is that person who should be the figure of suspicion, not the press.

This was on TVTropes "Reason You Suck Speech/Real Life" page, at least until the mods decided that Trump is too big a source of flame bait to keep in examples pages unless actually necessary.
