The odds are strongly against a Trump impeachment and removal.
Quite frankly, it has never happened. There have been a couple of impeachments, but no removals in our entire history. Almost all of us remember Clinton's impeachment, but the Senate failed to get the 2/3 majority for removal. Nixon was in danger of impeachment, too, but he resigned to prevent it from happening for the very first time in history.
Resigned. That's the operative word we need to keep in our minds. Resignation is the surest, most painless way to get rid of a President. If we can adequately thwart Trump's nefarious plans, through the courts or otherwise, his frustration will grow. He's a fragile man, really. His massive ego needs constant reinforcement.
The Judicial Branch is the key to all of this. If it blocks Trump's initiatives again and again, due to the unconstitutionality of what he proposes, he will grow more and more frustrated and frustration could well lead to his resignation. At some point, he could be forced to throw up his hands and simply wander off into the night, after a speech that blames everyone but himself for his failure to lead.
That is why we need to continue to support the ACLU and other legal groups who are willing to bring suit in federal court when Trump's nonsense violates the constitution or other laws. The judges and justices of the federal court system predate Trump. His own appointees won't begin hitting the federal court benches for some time. And even his own appointees may well look at his proposals and executive orders with an eye on the Constitution. ACLU and other organization attorneys know how to write briefs that demonstrate such constitutional errors.
So, if you haven't done so already, donate to the ACLU, immigrant legal defense funds and other organizations that will bring these suits in federal district courts. We've already won an important one with the immigration ban executive order. Trump was thwarted in his plan. We need to keep blocking his measures. Eventually, his over-inflated ego will reach the breaking point.
Let's help hasten that day!

I'm pretty sure he already hates a lot of what presidents have to do every day, which is why he had to have another "campaign rally" - he wasn't getting enough ego gratification from that day-to-day grind. And it hasn't been going exactly as he wanted, either. As the owner of his businesses all he had to do is order somebody to do something and it would be done. Since he came into the job utterly ignorant of how government works, I'm sure he assumed he could do the same as president. He'd just run the government like a business.
But it's been less than a month and he's already been slapped down by the courts; he can't fill his cabinet positions because nobody but unqualified hacks want to work for him; he's being criticized by almost all media outlets besides Breitbart, Fox News and Stormfront; he's pissed off foreign leaders; citizens by the thousands are protesting everything he does, loudly and often; he and his minions are savagely lampooned every Saturday night; Baghdad Barbie has been banned from CNN; demands for investigations of his Russian connections are heating up; and the "serious" people are starting to breathe the word "impeachment."
SAD. UNFAIR.
Before long all but his most devoted mouth-breathing fans will get tired of his rallies, which will become increasingly poorly-attended and pathetic. And if he can't be adored every day, why be president at all? Isn't that why he wanted the job in the first place? And if we're lucky he'll resign. If we're really lucky he'll go to prison for espionage.
