So many falsehoods here: not greatest economy, didnt rebuild military, not biggest tax cut, not record deregulation, did not create VA Choice. Bottomless Pinocchios galore!
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
How do you impeach a President who has created the greatest Economy in the history of our Country, entirely rebuilt our Military into the most powerful it has ever been, Cut Record Taxes & Regulations, fixed the VA & gotten Choice for our Vets (after 45 years), & so much more?...

(12,712 posts)One, he is taking credit for what preceded him and "that does not follow". What he is doing is actually tearing the country apart, piece by piece and undoing what was helpful or valuable to us all.
Two, his logic, once again, is obviously fallacious. In fact he is one flaccid fallacy.
Even if you were a fine, upstanding, helpful member of a community, a real humanitarian and loved by all, if they found bodies in your basement or that you were embezzling millions from the company you work for, just how would what you claim to have done for everyone change the fact of the crime itself? Oh, you could use it as a defense or to try to soften the sentence, but it has no bearing on the crime itself.
This, in effect, is what he is trying to do. No, you did something. That's what this is about. It is not about your fallacies of deference and false equivalences, etc.
Could someone explain that to him? He is sounding like a child who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. I am beginning to wonder if he could be tried for anything as an adult due to his immature behavior.
It's truly incredible. Call him out again and again. He has access to the football.

(9,670 posts)His lifelong pattern of criminality, combined with the fact that he just got caught red-handed, would be a sufficient impetus to impeach his ugly orange ass.
