Donald Trump was impeached twice during his time in office. Each time there were impeachment inquiries by Congress. He beat the charges, but on the second go round, according to Wikipedia, and our own recent unimpeachable memory, 10 Republican representatives voted for the second impeachment, the most pro-impeachment votes ever from a president’s party. This was also the first presidential impeachment in which the majority caucus voted unanimously for impeachment.
Nevertheless, Trump insists today on social media — in all caps — that there was never an inquiry into either impeachment. He writes:
“I NEVER HAD AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY, I HAD AN IMPEACHMENT, WHICH I WON! IT WAS STARTED IMMEDIATELY, NO MEETINGS, NO STUDY, NO DELAYS. THE LUNATIC FASCHISTS & MARXISTS PLAY THE GAME DIFFERENTLY. THEY ARE OUT TO DESTROY AMERICA. MAGA!”
Does Trump have dementia? Should Melania take him for neurological tests? He says these things and his followers, who are already demented, believe him and spew it back. But these are facts: Donald Trump was impeached twice by Congress, which spent months leading up to the votes investigating him. Sorry. Donnie. These things happened. You’ve also been indicted recently FOUR times, arrested four times, and will stand trial FOUR times.
