Will Trump be impeached or not?

Probably to see if you could get a recount. I'm sure it was in the works as an "insurance policy" before that. You see no shame in the attempt to overturn an American election??

 

CBS reports, "Speaking to reporters on the White House South Lawn before departing for Florida, Mr. Trump suggested that China and Ukraine should investigate Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.

"Asked on the White House South Lawn what specifically he wanted Zelensky to do, Mr. Trump responded:

"Well I would think that if they were honest about it they'd start a major investigation into the Bidens," Mr. Trump said. "It's a very simple answer. They should investigate the Bidens because how does a company that's newly formed -- and all these companies if you look at, and by the way likewise, China -- should start an investigation into the Bidens.

"Because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine. So I would say that President Zelensky, if it were me, I would recommend that they start an investigation into the Bidens because nobody has any doubt that they weren't crooked.'"

It wasn’t immediately clear what Trump believes “happened in China” as it relates to the Bidens. For that matter, Trump has never explained "what happened with Ukraine," either. As a matter of fact, no one has explained what it is the Bidens did wrong.

On the other hand, there are numerous sources that conclude the Bidens did nothing illicit, and those sources are not disputed by Trump, the White House, or the dwindling number of Trump cohorts.

Trump said that “I haven’t” asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to investigate, “but it’s certainly something we should start thinking about.”

Trump is not about to ask Xi to investigate the Bidens. Why in the world would Xi help Trump. Only his base could believe such an unlikely possibility. Trump always talks to his base, and, obviously, no one else.

Then came the always inevitable threat for which Trump is infamous. He is not happy unless he is making threats against someone. Here it is. Are you ready for it?

“I have a lot of options on China, but if they don’t do what we want, we have tremendous power.”

It is just another bogus threat. Trump has issued countless bogus threats. They, too, are meant for his base. They love his threats, but even they know they are fake. The very last thing Trump wants to do is aggravate the trade war with China which is posing a recession threat to our booming economy. He has had enough.

Incidentally, after losing 738 points on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Dow rallied for a whopping 122 points today. The Dow now stands at 26,201. That is 238 points below where the Dow was on Jan. 29, 2018. Does anyone think Trump wants problems with China?

 

What you said.

 

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida brushed off Trump's remarks and instead claimed the news media was misinterpreting the President. In other words, according to the Senator, we can't trust what the President says. The media and Trump's detractors were simply going by what Trump said.

We can't do that???

It gets even more strange. Rubio adds, Trump was "just needling the press, knowing that you guys are going to get outraged by it.

"He's pretty good at getting everybody fired up," Rubio said, adding that "the media responded right on task."

"I don't think it's a real request," Rubio said. "Again, I think he did it to gig you guys. I think he did to provoke you to ask me and others and get outraged by it."

Those remarks have some validity since I have heard the very same thing from Trump's fans on PF. They love it when Trump pisses off the "libs."

So, here's what we got. A United States Senator and many of Trump's supporters think Trump says things just to create a stir in the media while getting liberals all riled up.

To accomplish this, Trump incriminates himself where impeachment charges are concerned, confirming their legitimacy, while making a complete fool of himself on national television. Meanwhile, according to the Senator, what Trump says is meaningless. Do I have that right?

Now, I ask you, how smart is that? His base adores this ability Trump has to rile up the press and get liberals all hot and bothered.

It is just my opinion, but I don't think this is a trait we want in a President.

All of Trump's supporters have given up. They are making a practice of that on any thread dealing with Trump.

They won't admit it, but they have given up on Trump. They no longer support him.
