Analysis: Impeachment makes Trump's bid for moderates go up in smoke | knottmatthew

Donald Trump's campaign team regularly points out that the Democrats' push to impeach him has galvanised support for the President among his base.

It helps explain why he has recently backed away from taking any meaningful action on gun safety or reducing the number of young Americans addicted to e-cigarettes.Vaping enthusiasts protested against Trump's planned move to ban flavoured e-cigarettes"A lot of people think vaping is wonderful, is great - it's really not," Trump said as his wife Melania, a passionate anti-smoking campaigner, sat beside him.

But the vaping industry distributed polling showing a flavour ban could cost Trump crucial votes in battleground states like Florida and Wisconsin which he needs to win in 2020. In the end the backlash proved too strong. The Trump administration decided against banning flavoured pods. But, under pressure from the National Rifle Association, Trump has since abandoned the idea of mandatory background checks for gun purchases.

Democrats invite Trump to testify in impeachment inquiryPresident Donald Trump has been given the opportunity to testify in the impeachment inquiry against him to “speak all the truth he wants if he wants”. 9News Well since there is no evidence of a crime, why should he waste his time? Yeah beast, go and testify and shoot yourself in the other foot . . BUT he won't, his 'Bone Spurs' wouldn't allow that.

'Zero chance' Trump will appear in person at his impeachment inquiry | Sky News AustraliaSky News US contributor Cameron Stewart says there is “zero chance” Donald Trump will appear in person at his impeachment inquiry. \n\nThe US president indicated on Monday he could be open to testifying at his own impeachment hearing. \n\nDemocrats have not officially called on the president as a witness, but House speaker Nancy Pelosi has welcomed the idea. \n\nMr Stewart told Sky News “if you’re going to see Donald Trump giving testimony to the impeachment inquiry, it will only be in written form because it would be such a potential perjury trap for him to go in front of the committee and be cross examined under oath'. \n\nImage: AP\n Zero shock in that, his team know he is not competent enough to be able to control himself, and any questioning would not only expose his lies but also his incoherency and inability to understand even the most basic principles Face is awfully orange. Photoshopped? I really think that they are puppets and Trump is the puppeteer, they seem to be dancing to his tune and Schiff is trying to be paddywack the policeman, when all he really is , is the clown.

Not a good idea!! realDonaldTrump well testify, not the written gutless and cowards way out...do it properly in person. Lets see what kind of man you really are Did his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani recommend it? He seems like the best lawyer type thingy for these times of the impeachment thingy.

Donald Trump: President might testify in impeachment inquiry US newsUS President Donald Trump has indicated publicly for the first time that he might be willing to testify in the impeachment inquiry over his dealings with Ukraine "even though I did nothing wrong". He also said he doesn't want to give credibility to due process. He won't testify because he can't string a sentence together, can't speak coherently and can't answer questions on the fly bullshit I hopeNancy Pelosi continues to troll trump it is working.
