There will be no civil war. Trump's hardcore base is small, and even then most of those will not have the desire or will (or ability) to rise up. In the event Trump resigns or is removed from office, Trump's base will not take up arms - It's not like they will be going up against Hillary Clinton. In the event of Trump's removal from office Pence moves in to become President. In the event Pence is also removed (This is possible in the event of collusion and perhaps obstruction of Justice), next in the line of Presidential Succession is Paul Ryan, Orrin Hatch, and then Rex Tillerson. Why would Republicans start a civil war if the Republican party is still in charge.
