(7,440 posts)26. Trump isn't going to removed from office,
so he'll hold impeachment up as a badge of honor.
It will only get worse from there. He'll blame the Democrats for his impeachment, and the followers in the Church of Trump will raise their fists in defiance against the Constitutional framework because it's an obstacle in front of Trump. We don't understand this. Trump's followers do not value the Constitution. If Trump says that impeachment should not be a Constitutional remedy, that's what they believe. The House Speaker? The Church of Trump views her as an enemy. No matter what she says, if she opposes Trump, she's quite expendable in their world.
