Realistically only Congress or the Supreme Court can stop him and no they aren’t going to. Beyond that, as others have said it is just standing in the street and yelling. But that won’t stop him.
Is there no instution or person that Trump go after? Or we are all just screwed?

The only significant opposition has been in a few courts. Everything else is mostly vocal and easily ignored. So, yeah, we are.

The fun thing about checks and balances is that it relies on the other branches to be actually interested in the continuation of governance.

There are no divine guard rails and Trump is merely a symptom of a diseased country.

If I can give an overly pedantic answer, it’s not him. I certainly never give such a vile human being a pass but …… his advisors have their own agendas. At least some of the evilness is their agenda and Trump is either the sock puppet, was bribed, or just doesn’t care about anyone besides himself.

I mean a South Korean president got convicted and went to prison, then her successor commuted her sentence.
Odds are, in America, him being that old… it aint happening because someone is gonna make the “oh he’s too sick to be in prison” argument and the courts will just let it slide.

They could literally impeach him tomorrow. This is not a one man show. It is a choice. They’re choosing to make themselves richer and make you poorer, to make themselves more powerful and to make you more vulnerable. Not just Trump.
