Why is Donald Trump being impeached?

Land of the Free

The Founding Fathers fought hard to free themselves from Britain, and they did not want British influence on American soil.

No Foreign Interference!

That is why the Constitution forbids foreigners from interfering in US elections. It’s a national security issue – if other countries get involved, how do we know elections are free and fair?

Trump Welcomed Ukraine In

Trump is in trouble because he asked Ukraine to get involved in a US election – he them to launch an unfounded investigation of Joe Biden’s son. The goal was to make Biden look corrupt, therefore helping Trump in 2020.

Let’s Make A Deal

Trump offered a “deal” to the President of Ukraine – help me smear Joe, and we’ll use taxpayer money to give you weapons. Trump told government employees to help him get what he wanted.

This is Illegal!

As Written in the Constitution, Presidents are not allowed to use our tax dollars or government employees to help themselves politically. George Washington urged Americans “to be constantly awake, as history and experience have proved that foreign interference is one of the most baneful foes of republican government”

Many Gave Him the Benefit of the Doubt Before

In scandals before, politicans from conservative states like Ohio, Georgia, Arizona and Tennessee gave the President the benefit of the doubt.

This Time, He Crossed The Line

Now these politicians believe President Trump crossed the line. They are part of the 224 representatives who voted to impeach.

What do Conservatives and Liberals agree on?

In 2016, Trump was seen as a Builder and Fixer by many.

In 2016, many people saw Donald Trump as a successful businessman who was going to fix the country’s problems and help ordinary people get ahead.

Three Years Later… People Are Having Doubts

However, three years later, many Americans have doubts. Why? Across liberals and conservatives, their reasons are surprisingly similar.

Everyone is coming under attack.

Both conservatives and liberals see Trump attacking people across the spectrum (over 500 people attacked so far).

Even his own party.

Conservatives don’t like that he targets his own party – 1 in 5 Republican senators from states like Tennessee, Arizona, South Carolina, Florida and Nebraska.

Regular Americans should be safe.

Even if someone disagrees with the president, they have a right to Free Speech. Yet he has attacked his critics, including women, Gold Star families, and even teenagers.

Trump is seen as a cyber-bully.

Many people see his tweets as cyber-bullying – for example, he has called women by names like “dog”, “ugly”, “frumpy” and “bimbo”.

A Boy King?

That’s why many people on both sides describe Donald Trump as a “boy king” – throwing tantrums and punishing people who disagree with him.

Why Isn’t He Doing His Job?

Conservatives and liberals both wonder if Trump is getting anything done, or if he’s more focused on his ego than serving the country.
