Obama was the first president in history that failed to achieve a 3% growth rate. An astonishing feat of incompetence considering the economy was already shored up. We had nowhere to go but up. As soon as 45's policies had time to take effect, the economic graphs went up like a rocketship. Obama was the epitome of a collegiate mind. All theory with no practical application beyond community organizing. He didn't understand the first thing about the global power structure or how to wield ours. Obama is easily the most overrated president in my lifetime, followed by an international business man with a litany of real world accomplishments.
Actually he has years of experience as president and many more in business.

Once in office, could the 25th Amendment be invoked, submitting, among other evidence, the egregious behavior of Trump during his campaign and, as of now, his cabinet picks?
Doing so would require the Vice President and members of the Executive Cabinet or Congress to determine the President is unfit to hold office, an unlikely situation given..... 1: Vance is riding high on the MAGA train and wouldn't be so stupid to bite the hand that feeds him. 2: Trump will staff his Cabinet entirely with sycophants and toadies who will show unwavering loyalty to him. 3: There's no chance in hell a Republican-majority Congress would invoke the 25th. The only way Trump is leaving office before the end of his 2nd term is by death or some incapacitating health crisis; he won't be removed through impeachment or a Republican coup!
It’s literally his cabinet that votes on that, though. Like, even IF you could convince a majority of the public to support this, you would have to also convince the literal yesmen who you’re opposing the appointment of to begin with
