There are huge amounts of the wealthy elite out there in America that have been stacking government for decades that are likely pulling out all the stops to position trump towards an impeachment.
I imagine most of the elites that couldn't stand Trump really can't stand him now.
For every John Galt wannabe out there, there are true elites who understand the delicate balance between the theatre of democracy and the way the sausage is actually made. The most important thing for these interests is consistency and preserving the status quo. Race riots, international trade disruptions, the loss of faith in the the carefully orchestrated theatre etc. are all things that have the capacity to upset the establishment.
At some point this amount of distrust in public institutions will go from being helpful to elect corrupt officials to a breakdown of the civil order that gives these elites their power in the first place.
Like in a totalitarian dictatorship, eventually the other power brokers begin to wonder if they are next. The only thing worse than a bought and paid for politician is a loose cannon. Eventually the other generals in the junta see some of their own hauled off to the black cells and start to wonder if/when they will be next. There are individuals within the establishment that have far too much to lose if Trump's eye becomes fixed on them.
