The beginning of Trump’s revenge!
As the Senate seeks to impeach Trump, the former president is plotting to avenge all the parties he says have betrayed him.
As the Republican debate over Donald Trump’s second impeachment came to a head yesterday, the former president spent his first weekend outside the White House seeking revenge on his fellow party members.
According to the Guardian, five days after leaving the White House, Trump continues to discuss the creation of a new party; A threat that some have called a ban on Republican senators impeachment of Trump.
The Guardian wrote: Democrats are scheduled to send Trump’s impeachment to the Senate for consideration this evening. The plan came in the wake of the January 6 riots in Washington and the attack on the Congress building by Trump supporters; An attack that killed five people, including a police officer.
On the other hand, Trump, who spent the weekend at his resort in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, was thinking about keeping in touch and influencing and ousting Republicans who had passed him by.
Trump had previously threatened to launch the Maga Party (Patronize America Again) or the Patriots; The plan has been seen by many as a lever of pressure to prevent Republicans from participating in impeachment.
Yet many well-known Republicans, including Republican Liz Cheney of the House of Representatives, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, and others who have previously denied false allegations of electoral fraud, have accused Trump. They were accused of inciting a riot in the Congress building.
Other senior Republicans also spoke sharply on Sunday over Trump’s impeachment and the party’s future. Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, a former presidential candidate and outspoken critic of Trump who voted in favor of Trump’s impeachment as his only party member last year, said the former president was setting a “steady pattern” of trying to corrupt the election. Has laid.
“He [Trump] started a riot while Congress was carrying out its primary responsibility for approving the election, inciting them to attack the congressional building,” Romney told CNN. These allegations are very serious and the former president has not yet offered any defense in this regard, so it is better to give him a chance to hear Trump speak, and it is important for all of us to go through the normal justice process to resolve the issue. ».
“I believe what is being claimed and what we have seen is a provocation for the insurgency and the impeachment should be carried out,” Romney said, calling the impeachment of the incumbent president constitutional.
Other Republicans, including Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, Maine’s Susan Collins and Nebraska’s Ben Sasse, are expected to vote in favor of Trump’s impeachment.
On the other hand, the situation in the Republican Party is severely divided. To impeach, 17 Republicans and 50 Democrats must vote. So it is unclear whether this number could be reached, despite remarks by Republican minority leader Mitch McConnell about the Capitol Hill riot, “These people have been falsely fed by Trump.”
At the same time, Trump is said to believe that there are currently fewer votes for impeachment than there was in the immediate aftermath of the January 6 meeting.
Marco Rubio, another Florida Republican senator close to Trump, said he thought the trial was “stupid and had the opposite effect.” “The situation in the country right now is like a fire under ashes, and we will pour gasoline on this fire with Trump’s impeachment,” he told Fox News on Sunday.
Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn also threatened retaliation against the impeachment of the former president, tweeting: “If impeachment and trial of former presidents is a good idea, impeach Democratic presidents when Republicans are in power in 2022.” To take, how? “Think about it and let’s do our best for the country.”
“[The US Constitution] specifically states that you can impeach the president, not someone else in the White House,” said Mike Ravens, a Trump senator from Trump, South Dakota, who called Trump’s impeachment illegal. “He is not present.”
The US House of Representatives once again approved Trump’s impeachment in November with 232 votes in favor. This followed the release of an audio file in which Trump announced that Washington would approve Washington-approved aid to Ukraine as part of Kiev’s investigation into Joe Biden’s son.
