Something like the collapse of the SS system, where payments are stopped to all beneficiaries, or widespread mass shootings of unarmed civilians by ICE or the military.

That might motivate the GOP to remove Trump, but probably only if they suffered heavy losses at the ballot box (and in donations).

Alas, mere constitutional “high crimes and misdemeanours” won’t get Trump removed.
