    South Korea’s government managed to successfully impeach and convict him first, though.

    Trump has been impeached twice (which is already unprecedented for an American president), but it failed both times because the bar to pass is 2/3 of the senate voting to convict, which simply cannot happen while Republicans control half or more of the senate.

      Oh, they’ll turn eventually. And then we will have VP Pence and Project 2025 still happening. It’s part of the plan. The president building his own insurgent army is not.
