Summary:Trump is facing impeachment for pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rivals of the 2020 presidential elections. On Thursday, while leaving the White House he called for China to investigate former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., he also asked for foreign countries to help him in the upcoming election. Although he is facing impeachment, he argues that there is nothing wrong with seeking foreign help. Trump has also pressured his own Justice Department to investigate his Democratic opponents, and also fired his first attorney general for not protecting him from the Russia Investigation. Trump has constantly abused his power while in office to get what he wants, such as calling a government shut down for not getting funding for the border wall, and now he is calling for help to get dirt on his fellow opponents in the upcoming election. I believe Trump has used his power in office for many unjust reasons, and for that I believe that he should be impeached.
History Connection: This is connects to history because it connects to the Black Sox Scandal in 1919, where eight Chicago White Sox players intentionally threw the World Series match for money from a gambling syndicate. This syndicate known as Arnold Rothstein used his wealth and power to rig the outcome of the game, just like Trump is doing while in office, but for the Presidential Election.
Questions:
Do you believe Trump will be impeached? Why?
What are your opinions on Trump's current actions?
I think that Trump should be impeached for all of his unfair use of power. His actions benefit what he wants instead of the greater good for the people and our country.
ReplyDeleteI think Trump will be impeached due to his involvement with other countries to affect the outcome of the 2020 elections. He is also trying to use the government, including rivals within the government,to fulfill his needs in order to maintain power. I think Trump's current actions are unacceptable and at this rate, he might as well get impeached like Clinton
ReplyDeleteI believe that Trump will be impeached because he is constantly abusing his powers as president which shows that he is not qualified to be president. In my opinion, Trump is being reckless with his actions and that he should get impeached before it does greater damage to the United States.
ReplyDeleteI think that trump will be impeached because of his constant abuse of power in office to get what he wants.
ReplyDeleteTrump has used his political power to get what he wants. He has also attempted to cover up the wrongs he's done. He then tried to cover that up, which is more obstruction of justice. There is no reason he should be the president given all he's done, so he should be impeached.
ReplyDeleteTrump will not be impeached due to all his supporters. Trump has done a lot for this country by sheer will agaisnt all the media puts out there
ReplyDeleteI believe that trump should be impeached because over his last 4 years in office he has been abusing his power. Despite this, there is still a chance of him not being impeached, and getting re-elected due to his supporters. The good thing is that many people and 2 whistle blowers have come out which could help to impeach the presidet/
