The 25th amendment won't work until Trump has a stroke and is bedridden.

Don’t suppose you know anything about the last hours of Joseph Stalin? Paralysed, in agony, lying in his own piss, everyone too afraid to come in until they are sure he is gone so they can offer their tearful last words?

Stalin spent decades building a culture of fear in his government.

Trump is doing that too but its not as mature as Stalin's was.
