Trump has said that “impeachment would be a disaster for
the country; “In an interview with Fox & Friends, he said the market would
crash and "everybody would be very poor". Rudy Giuliani said in an interview with Sky News. "the
American people would revolt".
Impeachment is a drastic step which must be first pass in
the House and confirmed in the Senate.
Only two Presidents in history have been impeached, Andrew
Johnson and Bill Clinton. In both cases the Senate failed to confirm the House’s
action. A third President, Richard Nixon< most likely would have been but he
resigned before any vote.
I do think that Trump is right that it would be a disaster,
but for the wrong reason. When the President’s office is vacant he is succeeded
by the Vice-President.
That would be Pence; a
zealot ultra-right Christian who would try to impose a Theocracy. He has expressed
his feelings on racial relations, abortions and the place of women in society.
The Ayatollah of Iran could be an angel in comparison.
Is it better to stick with an egotistical incompetent or
have a Pence for the next two years?
