He doesn't seem to understand that a president actually has to break the law in order to be impeached.
Okay, I know, I know—he just doesn't care.

Neither does OP
I don’t know if that’s actually the case. Impeachment is strictly a political process. It doesn’t include DOJ and doesn’t require an actual law to be broken. Republicans just need enough votes to bring an impeachment to the House floor.
well in his defense, he's a narcisist. He most likely believes every succesful person breaks the law as much or more than he does. he just is the only one to get caught because he has a target on his head because everyone is jealous of him.
“… just… look for 3 impeachments, which is one more than I have now, you can find them- I know you have them in a suitcase.”
Trump says stupid shit- again.
"he wouldn’t give One Billion Dollars to Ukraine unless they ‘got rid of the Prosecutor'"
Jesus, this shit again. Yes, as VP, Biden strongarmed Ukraine into getting rid of a prosecutor...
A prosecutor who was intentionally slow walking corruption inquiries AND who both the IMF and our own ambassador to Ukraine wanted removed. Biden acted in good faith as the Vice President of the United States and openly admitted his role in the removal of the prosecutor.
Here's a good timeline of events:

It cracks me up that gullible Trump supporters think Joe Biden publicly admitting that he went after a Ukranian prosecutor is some kind of smoking gun. Sorry, I believe it's "smocking gun" according to Trump.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“The Republicans in Congress, though well meaning, keep talking about an Impeachment ‘Inquiry’ on Crooked Joe Biden.
Look, the guy got bribed, he paid people off, and he wouldn’t give One Billion Dollars to Ukraine unless they ‘got rid of the Prosecutor,’” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
“Biden is a Stone Cold Crook — You don’t need a long INQUIRY to prove it, it’s already proven,” he continued.
House Republicans have floated opening an impeachment inquiry into Biden for months, and some members have signaled that they are ready to do so.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told Fox Business recently the lower chamber could launch an impeachment inquiry when it reconvenes in September.
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee, led by Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) has been looking into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings.
The original article contains 330 words, the summary contains 135 words. Saved 59%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
