As you say, he deserves it but sadly American justice doesn't seem to apply its full force to remove him as it should due to a tribal political system of protectionism - sad to see this failing because it is wrong and doesn't show up American politics "in a good light" esp with this lunatic still being allowed to run amok - there is a limit and I'm sure there must be millions n millions of Americans getting really tired of this man!!
Lets also though not forget that Bill Clinton was impeached but also due to partisan politics and voting in the Senate he also was acquitted and not removed from office, same as we will likely see with Trump but with a switch of the party roles.
With regards to American's being pissed off, you are correct!! 66m Yanks voted against him, 3m more than voted for him but the electoral college system as it is worked for him. That will still be the same system next year and the challenge for Dems is to first not destroy each other during the primary's and secondly they have to get the voters out in much bigger numbers in the swing states because I will guarantee his supporters will be out voting. The young vote in particular over here is notorious for not bothering to vote and there are 4 years worth of usually left leaning 18-21 year olds who will be voting for the first time. They need to vote in larger numbers compared to the usual 35% turnout in that age group because this will absolutely benefit the Dems more than the Republicans.
