The US doesn’t have a mechanism for a no confidence vote, the only thing we have is impeachment, and that won’t happen while the Republicans own the House and Senate.

Then you need a 67 vote majority in the Senate to convict and remove him, Republicans hold 53/100 seats there.

General strike. All the money flows because we make it flow.
You’re asking this as if the majority of congress isn’t fully behind the Trumpist authoritarian agenda.
