Congress Impeaches President Donald Trump

The House of Representatives made this decision by a democratic majority. Now the issue is moving to the Senate, where the Democratic Party is already in the minority. The media already suspect that an attempt to remove the president from office will only strengthen his position. Donald Trump was impeached. The lower house of the U.S. Congress voted to remove the president from office. All Republicans were against it, the three Democrats abstained, but the rest had enough votes to admit Trump’s guilt of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. However, this does not mean that the U.S. president will have to leave his post: in January, a Senate vote is expected, where Republicans have a numerical advantage. Trump is counting on this support, and he calls the Democrats “lousy politicians” who simply want to defend their presidential candidate Joe Biden. Here is what he said at a meeting with Republicans after a congressional decision: “The Republican Party has never been so insulted, but we have never been so united as now! I know the people from Senate, they are wonderful guys, and women too, who love their country. They will do everything right. I said a long time ago that Democrats are lousy politicians. They have two properties: they are mean people; they are the most mean people I have ever seen! Republicans are not so mean, although they can learn and be mean. Democrats always stick together. But today, three Democrats have come over to our side! What happened today in Congress was a distortion. They say: “You violated the constitution.” - “But what have I done?” - “We don’t know.” This is the first impeachment where there is no crime! Trump was accused of abuse of power when he, as Democrats point out, tried to delay the payment of military assistance to Ukraine so that its authorities would open an investigation against his likely rival in the next presidential election, Joe Biden. If impeachment does take place, Trump will become the third president removed in U.S. history after Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon. The White House called this vote the “one of the most shameful political episodes in the history of our nation”, noting that the decision was made without providing any proof of wrongdoing. According to the Gallup rating published earlier, president Donald Trump’s job approval rating has inched up again and is now at 45%. bfm
