I predict the military will remove Trump.
Not that that's a good thing for America, but it may become a necessary thing when the real shit starts.
Just a hunch.

11. Don't count on it.
The US military will not engage in a coup.

15. There are scenarios where that 'thankfully' would likely be misplaced.

Just one example:
SCOTUS affirms 'foetal personhood' nationwide, thus banning almost all (or even ALL) abortions in all 50 States plus DC, etc.
Multiple Blue States refuse to comply.
Trump sends in US troops, and authorises kinetic force to bring the Blue States to heel. The Blue States resist with their own kinetic force. Thousands (tens of thousands perhaps) die, and multiple secessionist movements surge to life nationwide.
OR
IF Trump does not send in US troops, IF he refuses to force compliance, the the Red States will very likely start ignoring the federal laws THEY disagree with, possible with deadly consequences for thousands of Red State citizens.
Either way, chaos ensues, and a runaway Supreme Court could likely make other (as they have now crossed the Rubicon) insane decisions.
For those who have never noticed Celerity, she was born in England and currently lives in Sweden and supposedly has American citizenship through one of her parents. She has no clue about America or how our government works, but she has some rather strong and bizarre opinions on life in America. So, in her mind, Trump sending military forces into states that are defying a federal law and using deadly force for compliance seems quite likely. Just like when Trump sent troops in to enforce immigration laws in "sanctuary cities" and when he authorized deadly force to shut down marijuana shops in states that legalized it in defiance of federal law.
And of course, more assassination talk (with added conspiracy theory nuttery):

10. GOP will let him be assassinated. JD Vance can take over implementing Project 2025
Trump didn't get elected by himself.
He would not be President if the GOP did not want him to be.
They enabled Trump.
When they think the time is right, they'll take him out and say to JD Vance "Let that be a lesson for you!"

65. Since they have no qualms killing innocents to create a head injury for Trump, I predict AF 1 going down in the Atlantic
with all lost. And who knows if Trump was on it.
Some of them still believe the assassination attempt in Bulter was somehow staged by a mysterious group known as "them".

45. It has to come from within.
My guess is the intelligence community. Those are the folks who can make it look like a heart attack.
Well since posse comitatus can be ignored, having the CIA performing hits on American soil can't be too far behind. But what if Trump already has the CIA geared up to go after Democrats? Ohhhhh, scary stuff.
