Everyone piles on after Donald Trump has deranged “I JUST GOT IMPEACHED” meltdown
Donald Trump apparently just now realized he’s been impeached. The guy clearly has no idea how impeachment actually works, or the fact that he was impeached nearly a month ago, because he screamed this on Twitter today as the Senate impeachment trial was getting underway: “I JUST GOT IMPEACHED FOR MAKING A PERFECT PHONE CALL!”
Let’s just say that the responses to Donald Trump’s boneheaded all-caps tweet weren’t exactly kind. For instance Andy Ostroy fired back with some capital letters of his own: “NO. YOU JUST GOT IMPEACHED FOR BEING A CORRUPT TRAITOR WHO PUT HIMSELF BEFORE COUNTRY.” Bishop Talbert Swan spelled it out succinctly: “You got impeached because you’re a CRIMINAL.”
Various other people responded with newspaper headlines from mid-December, stating that Donald Trump was in fact impeached back then. It’s not clear why Trump thinks that his impeachment wasn’t official until the House physically walked the articles of impeachment over to the Senate, but it is clear that he has no idea how any of this works.
Donald Trump also appears to be under the impression, until just now, that his Senate impeachment trial was somehow magically not going to happen. Sure, Mitch McConnell and other Republican Senators publicly floated nonsense about having a dismissal instead of a trial. But those were just fantasies being spoken aloud, for the sake of posturing. Trump didn’t really believe any of that stuff, did he? Looks like maybe he did.
