When President Trump was asked about the possibility of impeachment Thursday morning outside the White House, he understood that it was bad — “a dirty, filthy, disgusting word” — but seemed confused about how the process works.
Trump had previously said he would “first head to the U.S. Supreme Court” if Democrats ever attempted to impeach him, but the Constitution gives the courts no role in the impeachment process. Here’s how the impeachment process would occur if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has been against the idea despite a push from some prominent figures in her caucus, decided to move forward with it.
Trump made an effort to parse the legal standard, which is not explicitly defined in the Constitution, with reporters. “You know, it's high crimes and, not with — or — it’s high crimes and misdemeanors,” he said. “There was no high crime and there was no misdemeanor. So how do you impeach based on that?”
Everyone is confused. The hole impeach with a lack of evidence is one. Then the lack of democrats controlling the senate is the other. Personally...I think it might be the media's fault.
He didn’t think it was a dirty world when Obama was POTUS.
i know im tired of hearing the word.
He could resign, that would be best...

Trump Gets White House Witnesses to Attest to His ‘Very Calm’ DemeanorTrump reasserted that he is 'an extremely stable genius' as he asked aides to rebut the notion that he'd thrown a temper tantrum in a meeting with Democrats This is what dictators do.

GOP GOPCHairwoman GOPLeader SenateMajLdr LindseyGrahamSC SenateGOP tedcruz RoyBlunt CHuckGrassley SenMikeLee I see a president trying to propose multiple ways to help the nation and a speaker doing all she can to cripple any effort. While also endlessly trying to do a political prosecution on him. He seems pretty stable next to that. That was one of the most pathetic displays of idiocy I have ever witnessed. The fact that it was POTUS is mind numbing. Trump exudes ignorance, immaturity and profound weakness. He’s a disgrace and a National DISASTER.
