Well he's certainly given then Dems about 48 crimes to impeach him with.
None of which would get s conviction by 60 senators. Instead an impeachment would play into him constantly claiming he is the most persecuted president and its because he is fighting for his base that the democrats hate him. Why give him the win? Their chance was those 4 years inbetween.
Honestly I wouldn't be so sure. Fuel prices and more specifically Diesel are getting to absurd levels, this is and will continue to affect freight everything from luxury goods, replacement parts for infrastructure, and food. This could be enough pressure for more pragmatic Republicans to throw Trump out especially if the Dems get a majority in either chamber with the election, hell I could see some of them going scorched earth with Massi on the way out.
Also while it may be anecdotal I drive along the 10 over by Beaumont California quite frequently and let me tell it was quite sparce of Semis yesterday. I suspect the LA to Dallas route is on the verge of collapse due to fuel prices and if that happens it's gonna be bad basically everywhere east of the rockies, I think the western states can kinda deal with it if they reactivate some of the old rail lines and reexpand others but yeah it's gonna be rough.
