Is the game show host still president?

The fact that he is not does not invalidate the parent comment and your question sidesteps the fact that he left lasting damage that is still playing out on the political stage today.

It literally does. He was democratically removed. The fact he left lasting damage is besides the point, and no system of government can prevent bad actors, only minimize the damage.

He was an oligarch, and then was democratically elected. His supreme court appointees will continue to enforce his policies for the rest of their lives.

Agreed, he was an oligarch, and then was democratically elected, but who's to say what Brett "Devil’s Triangle" Kavanaugh will do in the face of a motivated majority?

Get dragged out his chair by the military?

25% of all Americans, and 53% of self-identified Republicans believe so.
