He has control of everything. I truly believe the only way he will be removed is if we all go to DC and kick them all out. It would take a march of 7 million people there to make them listen. He has the keys to everything. Nobody has stopped paying taxes. States aren’t withholding $$ from the Feds. Nobody holds him to account for anything.
