It would now appear that Trump’s impeachment is an inevitability.
He is so uncaring of the emoluments clause that he made news this week by having the announcement made that his club in Miami will be hosting the G7 gathering next year. The decision was made through a brutal process that involved studying ten possible venues, none of which has been revealed, and was then made through no means that is going to be reviewed or revealed to anyone. A massive amount of money is going to be funneled into his pockets by foreign countries, which is a direct constitutional violation.
You get impeached for that.
Meanwhile his acting chief of staff openly admitted a quid pro quo between Trump and Ukraine in which he basically threatened to withhold money given to Ukraine by Congress in exchange for them investigating his political rival.
You get impeached for that.
At the same time he withdrew American military support from the Kurds and thousands of them have been slaughtered. Supposedly a cease fire has been negotiated, but it’s only for five days, word is that it’s already been violated, and it wouldn’t have been necessary in the first place if Trump hadn’t ignore the advice of pretty much everyone and withdrew US support, a move encouraged by Putin and the president of Turkey.
That’s not an impeachable offense, but it may be enough to shake enough GOP support so that the vote in the Senate may not go the way he wants it to.
He also had yet another meltdown, deriding Nancy Pelosi for being a third rate/grade politician. Her response was to basically pull the Doctor Who stunt, stopping just short of saying, “Don’t you think he looks tired?” Trump’s response? To say SHE looked tired, which was right up there with when Hillary Clinton in the debates said that he was a puppet and he replied, “You’re the puppet!” It’s the equivalent of a kindergartner arguing that his tormentor is the real poopie head.
That’s not a impeachable offense, but it simply places another nail into his coffin. The country is watching as he melts down. The poll numbers contending that he should be impeached are climbing faster than they did under the Nixon administration and he’s on the verge of joining a very special, select group of presidents: Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and him. It remains hilarious that the GOP had no trouble impeaching Clinton over lying about sex, but still won’t line up to condemn Trump for doing far, far worse. A current count has Trump guilty of over 2500 conflicts of interest, all of which are being investigated.
The only question that’s left is: is Trump going to wind up in jail?
Of course not.
He has a private plane. At some point or other, he’s going to flee the country. He’ll take family members, maybe, and head out probably to Saudi Arabia. He loves them, it’s run by a murderous dictator, he has business dealings there, and it’s warm. As much as we speculate over how nice it would be to see him pay for his crimes, I think we have to come to the realization and admission that that’s never going to happen. He has spent his entire life avoiding being answerable for every crime he’s ever committed, and I’m positive that he’s going to avoid having to answer for his crimes as president. The absolute worst thing that happens is he’s thrown out, Pence pardons him, and then he bolts the country before any states can arrest him.
So he won’t pay for his crimes. The Kurds, American voters and the world will, but he won’t.
