President Trump has only been in office for less than a day, but there are already calls for an investigation into his illegal and unconstitutional actions during the 2024 election period.
In a statement, the organization Free Speech For People said:
impeach Trump againa bipartisan campaign led by Free Speech For People, launched on Inauguration Day with a petition calling on the U.S. Congress to launch an immediate impeachment investigation into Donald Trump’s Emoluments Clause violations and illegal and corrupt campaign activities.
…
President Trump has refused to sell his interests in companies that are guaranteed to receive large payments from foreign governments in violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause. At least five foreign governments are paying a total of $2 million a month for the use of Trump World Tower facilities. And because these five foreign governments are currently paying Mr. Trump these monthly fees, Mr. Trump will be in violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause from the moment he takes the oath of office.
The campaign is listing additional impeachable offenses committed between Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and Inauguration Day. Using racist and xenophobic rhetoric that endangers immigrant communities. Violates campaign finance laws by offering benefits in exchange for campaign contributions.
Unless House Republicans can lose their narrow majority by next November, and given the current majority’s track record, nothing should be completely ruled out, but Mr. Trump will have until at least January 2027. It seems unlikely that he will be impeached a third time.
The false idea that there will be no resistance to Mr. Trump is being propagated by corporate media, including parts of MSNBC. In fact, there seems to be a lot of resistance, but it takes different forms.
The groups and activists have four years of experience fighting the Trump administration. They focus on mobilizing people through petitions and movements. Lawsuit.
Because hundreds of thousands of people are off the streets. Depending on what part of the country you’re reading this article in, it might be too cold and dangerous outside, but that doesn’t mean people don’t care. .
I will do that.
The backlash is taking a different form, and if successful it will make it very difficult for Mr. Trump and his policies to advance.
