When Democrats sweep 2026 elections , will they be able to Impeach Trump and would Trump refuse to leave?

[888theGreat]

Democrats are going to win big. Esimates are 40 to 50 seat game in house and 3 to 5 seat gain in Senate. If Democrats gain 5 in Senate that gives them 52 -48 Majority. You need 67 votes to Impeach. So Democrats need 15 Republicans to join them. I would say right now 10 Republicans would cross over and join Demcrats. So can Democrats get 5 more Reoublicans to join them? He will end up being in at least 3 Impeachment Trials.

Impeached for :

Crimes against humanity

War Crimes

Murder

Selling the White House for personal profit

Lying under Oath

Obstruction

Abusing power with Tariffs, Aid, US Dollar

Yes , economy will be so bad 15 Republicans cross over

No , they will come up 1 to 5 votes short.

Gains not games , Republicans , and Estimate my keys don't always register when I type. The 25th Amendment is for his Cabinet to decide.

[Sevenpointfive]

i don't think he will be impeached if he stops what he is doing. this storm might be over. but 30 days from now when the epstein files do release, we'll have a better idea. i fear that it will only hurt the democrats. they will know that they aren't getting the full picture, but they must still hold those democrats accountable even if no republican names are on it.

with only democrats on the list it's going cause chaos.

[888theGreat]

Over 600 Republicans in Files with Trump mentioned the most

[Sevenpointfive]

if they had released it from the beginning this would not be happening. they needed this to happen at this time. but why? i think maybe they want us to look back and say it was our choice to impeach him or not. it wouldn't matter to them because they win either way. but if we elect the people to impeach him then we move along the agenda with JD, and so on until we have a special presidential election or a state of emergency lol. they both sound the same to me

[NaultD]

Tennessee is having a special house election RIGHT now. The Republican is winning right now but it is shockingly close. For the democratic running it is a hellmary and a half play if she won but if she is barely losing in this area it's very telling how the winds are blowing.

[Screenwriter]

Presidents have been impeached and still didin't leave office. It's a pointless move. Waste of time. Get some positive work done on issues at hand. He'll leave soon enough.

[msc545]

They've been impeached but not convicted. I'd like to think being convicted is different but it probably isn't

[Screenwriter]

@msc545 Impeachment is the charge the House levies. The Senate has to take the president to trial which would end in his removal. Conviction means the Senate has to come to a 2/3 vote. The trial is presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court..

There is a HIGH bar for conviction. And this takes time away from all the issues going on in the country that need to be managed. And IF impeached we would have JD Vance and Johnson as president and vice president. Don't see this as an improvement.

[Anonymous]

They will have a significant majority in the House and can impeach him but the Senate will be a longshot to take back so he'll never be removed.

[OneViewpoint]

Impeachment does not automatically equal removal from office. Unfortunately it requires a 2/3 majority and the Constitution is vague on high crimes and misdemeanors.

And the 25th amendment is temporary and requires a nondescript inability to carry out the duties of the office. Which I would argue has been every day that Cankles McTacotits has been in office.

Congress will fail the American people... AGAIN!

[exitseven]

No, the recent boom in the economy will accelerate in 2026 and people will see the results of President Trump' war on crime in our cities. The deaths of fentanyl ODs will continue to drop and tens of thousands of illegal liens will be deported. Americans will enjoy tax cuts and gas prices will continue to drop. Republicans are able to keep control of the House and the Senate and actually pickup a few new seats.

[888theGreat]

What boom? Economy is going down the toilet. He didn't even sign the deal with China. He has only 8 trade agreements. Unemployment went up, Cost of living is up, Inflation is up. Gas prices are not down in many parts of US. Layoffs set a record in 2025. Food prices continue up. WAR WAR WARs. Republicans are resigning from House. Gold is at all Time highs. Where is the boom? Do you actually live in America? Housing market is terrible, so bad they need 50 year mortgages. If things were "BOOMING" Gold would be $1000 not $4200 an ounce.

[exitseven]

GDP was healthy 3.8% , inflation remains between 2.5% and 3%. The Sept jobs numbers showed jonb creation twice what was expected, the stock market continues to surge and real wages (wages vs. inflation) have risen. Business investment continues to increase and next year when the tax cuts kick in and interest rates continue to drop will cause even more growth,

[888theGreat]

Business investment is fake. Countries have corrected Trump and said they are not investing. Job Numbers are BS and always down graded the next month. Stock Market is basically 5 stocks and AI and set records with Joe Biden too. People have to work 3 jobs to break even , so that is Bull Shit. They count one person with 3 jobs as 3 people getting jobs. They also count part time jobs as full jobs. Why does every poll including FOX have Trump under water on every issue and approval at 36% ? If we are Booming.. Why are so many small businesses going under? What are Corporations laying off 10's of thousands of people? Why is Gold at $4200 ? Why is National Debt exploding?

[exitseven]

Business investing has been rising since Trump was elected in anticipation of a good economy. Trump fired the people in charge of jobs numbers because they were alway fake whan Biden was president, He wanted accurate numbers. the stock market has 3 majior indexes that encompoass stocks across many industries. All 3 indexes have recently posted record closings. Wages vs inflation has shown real wages have risen. Just because you are personally not doing well does not mean the rest of thr country is suffering. Corporations like amazon are laying off tens of thiusands of people because they have installed automation and no longer need them.

[msc545]

Your illogical, low-probability view of the future is nauseating. Your continual support of Trump is also nauseating, particularly when you do it in the face of reality.

[BonzoInBitburg]

The indexes are up in the markets but 57% are trading below their 50 day moving average. The indexes were up today but over 60% of stocks declined. Don't look at indexes as an indication of a bullish market. There were more bankruptcies so far in 2025 than 2024 and there's still a month to go. The economy is far from robust but it is somewhat resilient.

[exitseven]

@msc545 the reality is that the country is running much better now than what we had for the last 4 years.

[888theGreat]

The reality is you just dislike Democrats and you convince yourself it is better. Well it is not. It is actually worse.

[msc545]

Horseshit

[msc545]

That was intended for exit not you

[exitseven]

Yeah, right. I just hate seeing my investments make money and I hate not paying over hundred bucks to fill up my truck. I hate seeing guys like this living 4 miles from my house.

[BonzoInBitburg]

The markets have been remarkably resilient but there are cracks showing. The indexes haven't gotten back to their peak at the end of Oct and the dips are getting lower. The ADP private payroll report was dropped this morning and it wasn't great. Make sure you are prepared because 2026 won't be pretty based on the leading indicators.

[msc545]

One can only hope, but I don't think there's going to be any 2026 elections because I think Trump is going to make sure that they never happen. Also, those are the midterm elections, and I think you actually are meeting the next presidential elections if we're going to have any.

[AviatorTom]

No President has ever been successfully impacted and removed from office, and probably never will. It's too difficult a process, and politically dangerous.
The Constitution specifies the crimes that can be impeached. None of what's listed in this question fall under those

[goaded]

That's because 43 Republican Senators didn't honour their oaths of office out of desire for power or outright fear of retribution against themselves or their families. Claiming that the justice system should deal with Trump's lawbreaking was a cop-out, even if it were true, impeachment would have given it the go-ahead.

[AviatorTom]

@goaded Let's review what the US Constitution says...

Article II, Section 4:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Trump was never convicted of Treason or Bribery, and his New York State conviction of the 34 felonies does not constitute "high crimes or misdemeanors" at the federal level. What could he be impeached for?

[goaded]

"What's a high crime? How about if an important person hurt somebody of low means? It's not very scholarly, but I think it's a truth. I think that's what they meant by high crimes. Doesn't even have to be a crime. It's just when you start using your office and you're acting in a way that hurts people, you've committed a high crime. "

[AviatorTom]

@goaded If you look back at history, Andrew Johnson was impeached for bribery, and Bill Clinton was impeached for lying to Congress (that's an example of a high crime). Both were impeached (i. e.-charged) and found not guilty in the Senate trial.

[goaded]

You're not right about Clinton's impeachment, it was lying to the FBI regarding his sex life and obstruction of justice. Trump is publicly having people murdered.

[boundless]

You've already lost 2 million illegal voters and the year isn't even over. How do you plan to rig elections if your criminal network of election fraud is dissembled?

[boundless]

*disassembled

[purplepoppy]

More likely they'll hand him over up the ICC who are very interested in charging him with crimes against humanity.

[goaded]

That won't happen while he's president.

[DrPepper12]

He's gone in 2027. GOP will be at the "no mas" stage

[msc545]

If you think this guy is going anywhere, you haven't been paying close attention to how he is, how the world is, and what is likely to happen. We are more likely to have a civil war in 2027 than we are to get rid of this guy.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

"When Democrats sweep 2026 elections"

[Snakeyes7]

Not this crap again. What law has Trump broken?

[888theGreat]

Murdered the people on the boats. Not drug runners. Lied under Oath , sold the office for special treatment. and 20 more things.

[goaded]

"What's a high crime? How about if an important person hurt somebody of low means? It's not very scholarly, but I think it's a truth. I think that's what they meant by high crimes. Doesn't even have to be a crime. It's just when you start using your office and you're acting in a way that hurts people, you've committed a high crime. "

[Snakeyes7]

Oh no! won't someone think of the narco-terrorists! Oh sorry I mean fishermen who are fishing off of a submarine carrying massive containers of fent and cocaine just because they are little silly geese and are totally not trying to traffic them.

[goaded]

How do you fish off a submarine? Besides, there's publicly available video of the strike against an obvious boat with lots of people on it. Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to smuggle 80kg more drugs than 1 more person?

[Snakeyes7]

@goaded I was being sarcastic.

[goaded]

Eleven people. You could have an extra 800kg of cargo, if you just had one person steering the boat.

[Snakeyes7]

@goaded They probably had more people to defend the boat I don't know. All I know is that they are narco terrorists.

[goaded]

No, you don't know that. All you know is that Trump claims it, that Hegseth bombed them, and then he had defenceless shipwrecked people bombed again in defiance of centuries of law.

[Snakeyes7]

@goaded We have pictures of what was bombed

[goaded]

Yes, shipwrecked people clinging to debris. Literally a textbook example of an illegal order.

[Snakeyes7]

@goaded Good, fuck 'em. Don't traffic drugs to the US and kill 100k a year and this wouldn't have happened to them.

[goaded]

Rule of law is just a joke to you, then?

[goaded]

Do you know that just Trump pardoned someone convicted of trafficking hundreds of tons of drugs into the US? ↗

[Likes2drive]

I doubt it and pointless to try to impeach him again, it’s been tried already

[888theGreat]

And he has broken the law 10,000 times since. If you murder people and murder someone else you get a trial for both. You don;t get kill one person kill another for free.
