As President Trump marks his 100th day in his second term, the Democratic calls for impeachment have resurfaced with fervor. It seems some Democrats are sharpening their tools and licking their chops, eager to relive the impeachment drama. George Osnof recently told a town hall that Trump’s actions exceed all past standards for impeachment. One can almost hear the dramatic music playing in the background. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic cohort, is playing coy, neither affirming nor denying the push for impeachment should they regain Congressional power. Seems the Democrats are keeping one trick up their sleeve – a relentless pursuit of Trump.
Let’s break it down. Despite Trump clocking in only a few months into his term, Democrats are already rallying the impeachment flag. Apparently, they believe accusations that he’s violating the rule of law at every turn. Yet, it doesn’t seem like they’re eager to put their money where their mouth is and get down to the nitty-gritty of these alleged violations. Instead, they continue their high-pitched chorus, hoping to drown out any tangible achievements from Trump’s administration so far. One might wonder if they’re more focused on drama than actual governance.
The critics often accuse Republicans of dragging out old stories, but hasn’t the left been doing the same? Russia, Russia, Russia – it’s like a broken record on repeat. They keep hoping to find some rusty nail in the Trump administration’s toolbox. However, when the President moves to end conflicts and assert his leadership on the world stage, they balk and hold onto their well-worn narrative. Quite the paradox, isn’t it? It’s almost as though they can’t decide if they want him out because his policies are bad or precisely because they’re effective.
The Democrat’s feverish resistance appears almost comical. It’s a bit like the act of standing in front of a moving train and expecting it to stop. Every step they take only highlights their opposition to President Trump’s agenda rather than presenting a coherent vision of their own. It’s the classic case of “if we can’t lead, let’s just sling mud.” They drum up panic over audits and budget reviews, painting them as some dark presidential overreach. But lo and behold, the average American seems to support these measures and the transparency they herald.
In all of this political theater, one has to wonder if Democrats understand how history has not been favorable to such tactics. Remember Clinton’s impeachment? His popularity soared, and given Trump’s track record of making political capital out of adversity, are Democrats unwittingly greasing the wheels for his success? They insist on being the fool’s brigade hoping to obstruct at any cost, not realizing it might backfire, turning the electorate against them. Trump was elected to lead, and these moves to thwart him at every turn could just end up reinforcing his mandate. Maybe it’s time for Democrats to bring fresh ideas to the table instead of rehashing their failed playbook.
