Trump acquitted in impeachment trial

Donald Trump

Donald Trump was acquitted by the Senate on Saturday in an impeachment trial for his role on the 6 January attack on the US Capitol – a verdict that underscores the sway America’s 45th president still holds over the Republican party even after leaving office.

    The fact that they continued to hold the impeachment hearings after he was “supposedly” out of office means that there are currently 2 Presidents.

      That’s not what it mean. Their can’t be 2 president at one time. It’s because he will not be able to run for public office anymore.

    In a normal court of law, Mr. Trump would have been found guilty as charged. Let’s take note of the fact that the majority of senators voted to bring him in guilty (57in favor 43 against).

      You are on point Sir!!! Trump benefitted from the two-thirds Senator guilty requirement which is nearly impossible to attain in these Divided States of America.

      The 45th President is not yet out of the woods; however, as criminal and civil charges will most certainly be levied against him in not so friendly jurisdictions. For those who continue to idolize the roguish behavior of Mr. Trump, ask yourself why is it that seven of his personal henchmen were criminally indicted and convicted during his presidency. All of whom he ultimately pardoned.

    When I hear, Trump and his supporters tried to over throw the government. I am asking myself which branch. Since there are three branches,and are independent from each other. If there was an insurrection, people would come with guns and other lethal weapons. Surely not with flags and Trump posters in their hands. The few people who died were all Trump supporters. And the only person who died violently was an unarmed female vet.Entering the building through a window and was shot by a police. The police who they say was beaten with a cylinder,died because of a stroke.
    Democrats said, Trump told his supporters to
    ” Fight like hell.”
    And that is their premise for removing him from office. And he left office January 6.
    At the hearing the hypocrites heard their own voices over and over saying
    “We must fight like hell.”
    Trump never asked anyone to enter the building. And those who entered broke the law.

    Trump acquitted..????????
    How the HELL this Tramp came about? This man Trump is not an intellectual, he’s just a fake fanfare who speaks out of context with no sense of decorum nor commonsense.
    To serve as this President of this well known United States of America has been a fake, a failure and demonstrated idiotic scandalous thoughts and lacks knowledge of governance, Political Science and talks out of context and decorum. Trump is not, has not been sufficiently intelligent to serve us President of our Great United States of America.
    BIDEN is an exceptional mature visionary intellectual politician. We all wish President BIDEN and his Team well. This is no place for Trump to hold this prestigious position as A President. He does not present himself as one to President of this great universal USA.
    Trump must get the hell out. He has nothing of substance to make a difference to our Great United States of America and its people.
    Ignore Trump until we are Blessed with a Great…

    Any truly objective person who was following the events and listened to Trump speak prior to & on January 6, 2021 would have known that Trump did not incite nor tell anyone to go and storm the US Capitol building.

    This trial was an absolute sham – an absolute farce – an absolute political witch hunt – orchestrated by these desperate, despondent, miserable, deluded Democrats & their equally desperate, despondent, miserable, deluded allies.

    The truth is hidden in plain sight.

    Stay tuned…

    The Republican party is extinct it now it belongs to Trump, Trump has full control. It is now called the Trumpblican party in charge of insurrections against the government and riots at the US Capitol. The Republicans will now be taking their oath of office not to the US constitution but to Trump at his alter while they shine his shoes.

    Even before he was elected. These crooks,Obama/Biden and his administration,including James Comey, (FBI)James Brennan, (CIA) Andrew Mc Cave,Peter Strzok.Not forgetting crooked Hilary.Did everything within their powers to put him out of office. Even before he was in office. So let us not find it strange, the Democrats did try to put him out of office. Even after he is already out of office.

      Sir, I fail to comprehend your unshaken and blind fealty to Mr. Trump who is anything but the victim you paint him to be. Maybe you are one of the contractors he allegedly stiffed and youv are still waiting for due compensation.

      Perhaps you hail from one the Trump declared shit hole countries who is waiting for Trump to give you a seat on one his purported golden toilets. Alas, you probably have better chance of getting a golden shower from him so please temper your allegiance.
