Trump says he's not concerned about being impeached: 'The people would revolt'

President Trump said during an interview with Reuters on Tuesday that he's not concerned about being impeached, adding he thinks "the people would revolt if that happened."

"It’s hard to impeach somebody who hasn’t done anything wrong and who’s created the greatest economy in the history of our country,” Trump told the news service in an Oval Office interview.

“I’m not concerned, no," he added. "I think that the people would revolt if that happened."

I don't think President Trump quite understands how the whole "rule of law" thing works in America.

He’s not going to be impeached.

He’s not going to be impeached.

Or he will. We'll just have to wait and see.

Typical politician then?

 

[Yarddog]

He’s not going to be impeached.

You may be right. He'll probably resign like Nixon did before impeachment proceedings start.

 

[tulc]

Typical politician then?

Which sort of destroys the whole "IvotedforPresidentTrumpbecausehe'snotapolitician!" riff some of President Trumps supporters like to say.
tulc(thinks of it as a kind of "two birds, one stone" thing)

 

[Hieronymus]

They have nothing on him.
They're just panicking because he will jail the deep state cronies.

People have all kinds of reasons for voting for a candidate. Perhaps the fact that Trump never held a government position made some consider him a non politician. That certainly was not a large factor in the vote for him to anyone I have talked to. I would suspect that most of his supporters were more likely to be on the "I voted for Donald Trump because he's not Crooked Hillary" riff. Which seems to be an extremely reasonable position to take.

uhmmm...I don't know if you're keeping score? But could you point out how many "deep state cronies" have been sent to jail by President Trump as opposed to how many of President Trumps people have been charged, tried and convicted? Go ahead, we can wait while you count them up.

Why they love Trump: 'He's not a politician'
Trump Nation
I on the other hand have MANY President Trump supporter friends and almost to man the first thing they tell me is "He's not a politician! That's why I like him!".
tulc(always thought it was a sort of goofy thing to like in someone being voted on for a politicians job)

Or they do.

But they don't.

uhmmm...I don't know if you're keeping score? But could you point out how many "deep state cronies" have been sent to jail by Preisdent Trump as opposed to how many of President Trumps people have been charged, tried and convicted? Go ahead, we can wait while you count them up.
tulc(anyone care for some coffee and cookies while we wait?)

You're so funny...
Do you think they can just round them up and jail them?
You can probably think of many reasons why they can't.
If everything is infested with corruption, you have to clean up first before you can do something.
If you want to build a case, you have to investigate.
This takes time.
They encounter resistance too, of course.
The deep state has been around for decades.
JFK wanted to get rid of it too, so they killed him.
Reagan wanted change, so they shot him and he folded.

Obama was the opening spokesman to this theatrical play and Trump is the last spokesman. Obama showed and provided the opportunity for the nihilist Islamic State how to crucify Christians in the middle-east. Obama weeded out the sour grapes within his own administration by doing this foreign action policy of giving rise to ISIS.

Trump as the main spokesman further supported what Obama started, albeit from a different angle and this angel is by his internal policy concerning illegal aliens who have entered American unlawfully.

If we can historically recollect how the America civil war was prepared in advance to have North and South battle it out over the issue of slavery of the African Americans, then today is a repeat, albeit with different players. The players remain North and South, however, the battle for contention is the right to stay for the illegal aliens. The battle lines are drawn and the South supports the illegals and the North does not and it seems that New Yorkers who run the entire country seem to be exhibiting a strong arm to deny the right for the Mexicans to stay and to eject the illegals by any means possible, giving rise to the 'zero tolerance' internal policy that will erupt after Trump is theatrically ejected from office, only to prepare for the first shots being fired by reigning in heads of the South who have not complied with Trump's internal policy. Marshal Law by Trump seems to be a plausible option before he is ejected out of office and this will erupt quickly.

The Trump administration’s practice of separating children from migrant families entering the United States violates their rights and international law, the United Nations human rights office said on Tuesday, urging an immediate halt to the practice. (New York Times, June 5, 2018)

According to the same article, the administration had recently announced a “zero tolerance” policy for people illegally crossing the border.

Is it not ironic? that America has perpetrated many civil wars abroad in overthrowing governments by their foreign policies and yet the same demise will eventuate in the coming civil war in America that will end their old guard and their old constitution and bring it into servitude to a global governance that will oversee a peaceful transition of the Washington guard after the civil war plays out.

I see it playing out like the depiction of the following movie -

When a Texas military force invades their Brooklyn neighbourhood, 20-year-old Lucy and war veteran Stupe must depend on each other to survive.

I don't know that 'revolt' is the accurate term. I certainly think that well over 60 million of us would look on impeachment with great disgust and there definitely would be retaliation at the ballot box in the next election. That certainly was the case when Clinton was impeached.

And there is no way in hell that the Senate will convict and/or remove. To even suggest such a thing is incredible grandstanding on the part of the Democrats.

[tulc]

But they don't.

I figure since neither of us actually know what's going to happen either is possible. So take a watch and see attitude.

You're so funny...

So...that would be "President Trump has gotten: 0 deep state people arrested, 0 deep state people tried 0 deep state people convicted and 0 deep state people in jail."?

Do you think they can just round them up and jail them?

It is hard to "round up and jail" mythical creatures, so I understand why it's taking so long.

You can probably think of many reasons why they can't.

I listed the only one needed.

If everything is infested with corruption, you have to clean up first before you can do something.
If you want to build a case, you have to investigate.
This takes time.

Oh, so how's the investigation going? Well...other then the one that keeps arresting, trying and convicting President Trumps people of course, that one seems to be doing quite well.

They encounter resistance too, of course.

That's true, people will often come out and say "Oh this is just a witch hunt!" or That's all just fake news!" or they'll try and distract by accusing others of crimes and insist on trying and get them investigated instead. That last one seems to be a real popular thing.

The deep state has been around for decades.

or it hasn't.

JFK wanted to get rid of it too, so they killed him.

no, they didn't.

Reagan wanted change, so they shot him and he folded.

and again, since the "deep state" is a myth I'm again going with that's not what happened.

I do not believe that there will be an opportunity for 'a next ballot box'.

Perhaps but it would take a foreign power conquering us and/or a coup and/or total overthrow of the government to prevent one. Or perhaps the world comes to an end within the next two years. Anything is possible.

But I'll bet on business continuing as usual despite the haters focused on accusing, blaming, attacking, punishing people rather than on concepts, ideas, proposals, and policy that will make everybody's lives better.

A total overthrow of the country as a result of an uprising from within and indication shows that there are treason and mistrust and that business is not as usual as all parties are going for broke. Marshall Law on the Horizon.

Or perhaps the world comes to an end within the next two years. Anything is possible.

It will come to an end if foreign powers seeing that America is weakened by the civil war initiate a surprise attack that will result in an unprepared knee-jerk reaction by factional forces within the US JAG on a limited basis before it fizzles because it would be unsustainable. The global Satellite system will be the first that will be taken out before the surprise attack making international drone warfare not an option.

But I'll bet on business continuing as usual despite the haters focused on accusing, blaming, attacking, punishing people rather than on concepts, ideas, proposals, and policy that will make everybody's lives better.

Look around and see the melting pot of racial tensions coming to a boiling point and if this is business as usual, then I concede.

Or there might, so unless you have some actual evidence there isn't going to be another election I'd have to put that in the "ok, not likely but if you want to count on it, feel free" category.

The Trump card is in play and the same old same old Congress that was once a house is but a house of cards ready to implode on itself. The evidence to America's demise from within is in what it has become a boastful racially and socially decadent society that is no different to the decadent societies of past that have historically imploded by their own initiative. The optimism you show is one of almost naivety that borders on the credulous nature of what typifies an American society gone awry.
