Very true as we live in hyper partisan times...same through the Bush years, too. (Over Iraq etc).

If Trump is removed from Office before an election cycle - there will be the next American Civil war, bit like if Brexit does not happen here, there will be riots and civil unrest here.

Maybe the odd kook but we'll never see it on a large scale here...mostly because we're a very passive people.
If Trump is removed in a form that involves violence (assassination etc), then yes...there will be all kinds of hell to pay in the 48 contiguous states.
If it is through more traditional methods (impeachment for example) it'll depend on the legitimacy of the (for example) trial in the senate. If it doesn't look like a total stitch up or a very partisan vote then it should keep the peace.
If it looks like a dud vote, then yes a show trial will lead the WN's out and there could be riots in the streets.
Same will never happen here though, and it is a given that in some way shape or form, we're either not going to leave the EU or totally mess up leaving.
