I think that if Trump did anything that makes him look guiltier than he already does — such as pardoning members of his inner circle, or firing Mueller — Americans are going to be angry. Just as they were angry about the Comey firing.

But what would be the result of this anger? We’ve already established that the current Congress couldn’t care less what Americans think (as shown by their actions regarding healthcare). So would Americans be angry enough to vote in different people in 2018?

If Americans don’t do this, they’ve thrown in the towel. And there will be nothing stopping Trump from doing anything he wants to do, and a Congress so cowardly they refuse to stop him.
