An unchained Trump threatens more mayhem in his final dangerous days

America faces 13 days of danger before the departure of an unhinged commander-in-chief who set his mob on the US Capitol in an act of insurrection that shattered a more than 220-year tradition of peaceful transfers of power.

Even President Donald Trump's own White House aides were horrified by his seditious behavior, which followed a fracture with his ultra-loyal Vice President Mike Pence who refused to join the futile but destructive effort to overturn the result of the election.

By the time police reinforcements flushed out the occupiers from under the Capitol dome Wednesday evening, Washington was reverberating after one high-level White House resignation and rumors of more to come, openly expressed anxiety from West Wing staffers about the President's volatile state of mind and even speculation of a snap impeachment or effort by the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to force Trump from office.
